That's interesting...Jehovah's Witnesses say everyone who disagrees with 
them hates them...Mormons say the same thing. My point? Just because one may 
disagree with another on theology does not mean they hate you. They may 
disagree with you doctrinally, but that's no reason to accuse them of 
hating. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Do you hate 
trinitarians? If you answer "yes", then you need to repent. Do you disagree 
wtih them? If you answer "yes" you have the right to do so and yet not hate 
them. Please don't accuse them as such. I've heard some hateful things said 
about trinitarians from Oneness preachers through the years growing up...and 
I recognized it as being a direct attack on them rather than dealing with 
doctrine. Two wrongs don't make a right. It's time to grow up and quit 
fighting with others who love the Lord.>>>

Brother, I don't quite agree with you. Maybe hate is too strong of a word 
for the way the feel about us (contempt, might be beter)...although...I been 
called a heretic, that I would go to hell and and and... On the other hand, 
Jesus said "you'll be hated by all men for my name's sake" and I have found 
this quote to be true a lot of times. :) We are the people of the name and 
the devil doesn't like it...he would like to intimidate us, would like to 
discourage us and what better way to do that than to tell us...."awww hey, 
they don't really hate you ... now don't you feel bad for this non-Christian 
attitude...how could you ever think they hated you". No, brother, they don't 
hate us...but they strongly dislike what we stand for, the name that we bear 
and our revelation of truth. Why? I don't know...maybe the devil does it or 
maybe it is plain spiritual jealousy, cause their soul is caught in a trap 
and it doesn't know how to get out of.

Let's face it brother, we are hated by all men for his name's sake :)

God bless
Sis. Doris
