"I said, “BTW Jehovah’s Witnesses are not a church. They have nothing to do with Christianity & neither do they describe their communities as a church”."
From here:

"The problem with Jehovah’s Witness is that it was fundamentally an apocalypse movement; Nelson H. Barbour and Charles Taze Russell published Three Worlds, a book that claimed that it could be determined when the world was going to end. In 1877, it was claimed that the world would end in 1914."
Here is a back-n-forth for reading at your leisure that may be important to the topic at hand

There seems to be something about humanity that fosters differences rather than similarities - might be human nature (?).
Seems religion and other organizations tend to be bred from this necessity for differences.
If god created everyone, and wants everyone to 'be with him for eternity' (for those that believe that) why would it allow such divisiveness, especially among fellow believers?
For discussion:
God allows this divisiveness - maybe even promotes it - or is it a result of the 'famously god given' free will?
Or, like seemingly everything else, is it all satan, and god just sits back and cries 'foul'?
