If someone believes..then they aren’t Christians at all

I don't know what they believe. I am sure that any fair definition offered by a non-Jehovas Witness would be incorrect, especially if started with "monsters".

Here is what I do know:
I had a good friend, and co-worker in Hawaii that was a Jehovas Witness. A kinder, and more gentle man I have never encountered. He was quite literally honest to a fault. He was ridiculed & tormented daily(sort of the flavor pushed by this thread). He met each slight, slur, and insult with a smile and kindness.

As a living example, he was by far the most Christian person I have ever known.

Well, Gandhi too was good in his actions, but that doesn't make Hinduism Christianity either

The good actions of one member of the Jehovah's Witness group does not mean that their doctrine is Christian.

I was posing a theological question.. not a statement about an individual. If it is true that a person doesn’t think that Jesus was the Son of God... that religion is not Christian. No different than someone of the Jewish faith (who believe Jesus existed and was a prophet just not the Son of God). I am glad you made a great friend. He sounds like a wonderful person... if I only had friends that belonged to my specific faith, I would only have a handful of them. Instead, I have a large group of friends (Jewish, Wiccan, Agnostic etc). Each person is a good friend to me in different ways and I love each of them.
