I think that depends on what your calling Knowledge, hope and reason...is knowledge, hope and reason telling your followers they might turn gay if they masturbate?
And arguably your work is primarily focused on watchtower indoctrination, since you teach beliefs and practices that are arguably...
Who are these many people who God has presented himself to? Can you verify their experiences?
So because you believe he is real that means you are living according to THE TRUTH!? Right...do I really have to point out what's wrong with that?
