By your interpretation, the TOS would prohibit Jehovah's Witnesses or anyone else from so much as describing the core doctrines of their denomination. The "one true church" notion applies to one degree or another throughout Christianity, yet Jehovah's Witnesses are consistently singled out here for criticism and ridicule. Their beliefs are nowhere near as bizarre as Certain Churches I Could Mention, but they seem to be fair game for attack here.

The JW are actually pretty careful about saying that other Christian denominations don't worship the Christian God. This is more frequently said about the JW because they don't worship Jesus as part of a Trinity.

Playing the "TOS card" in these circumstances strikes me as pretty small. Actually, I just went through all of highway54's posts in this thread and don't see that he's said anything even close to violating the TOS. Quite the contrary.
There is nothing "small" about adhering to the rules for the Christianity forum as established by the forum Administrators, the human vanity, hubris, and perversity of religious believers notwithstanding.

I am rusty on some things, Isn't The Church of LDS what we used to call "Mormons?"

This, also, different than the Seventh-Day Adventists.
Yes, the LDS are the Mormon’s and different from the 7th Day Adventist’s

Each had their own part in the greater scheme of bringing things back to remembrance at a specific time - but then how they develop from that creates natural diversity which we see in Christianity (that was foretold)

Jehovah's witnesses are Christians sir, and worship the same God Jesus worshiped and instructed his followers to do so. Promoting any other god as being the God of Christians is unacceptable on a Christian website sir, so post your objections in the R&S forum.

Default Does this seem true for Christianity?

This was an Inspired thought guided to my mind...

You have everything you need or you would not be alive and that is something to express gratitude for to God in the name of Jesus Christ..Thoughts?

It's a concept expressed in the Bible.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.

Quit starting new threads when a thought comes to your mind. Add posts here as appropriate.

There is a strange understanding of the trinity in LDS which can push people away from God
