Have you met any JWs. A large part of my family are JWs, and believe me, literal translations of Revelations are dangerous.
I don't believe literal translations are any more dangerous than religious intolerance. Your post has made that much crystal clear to me.

How is the post intolerant? Like I said before, I too have a large part of family that are JW's. I'm not intolerant of their beliefs, though it may come across like that to people who don't read what I write closely. What I'm intolerant of, is THEIR religious intolerance. Live and let be. That's what I wish they'd do for me. I give them that respect, and only 3 of the 12 babtised ones give it back. It's pretty bad that I have to avoid family members now with whom I used to get along with very well before their conversion.
As for the 'intolerance' thing, I admit I may have misinterpreted AC and apologized on the thread.
BTW, if you read what I write closely, I didn't call anyone intolerant, either. I'm a very careful writer for the most part.
