I don't know if Mr. Miller is a former Jehovah's Witness or not, it does however bring up an interesting question. What makes a former Jehovah's Witness?
1.) They can voluntarily withdraw from us, which can mean one or both of the following verses apply.
Technically, according to the Christian belief, everybody is children of God. Therefore he is just one of many. So he is as much a son of God as the beggar on the street and the politician at the pulpit.
That is his issue. If people want to believe is story then they are welcome to do so. Especially if it helps those people to find meaning in their lives and it helps them to take care of others, but this is where my issue comes in…
He keeps preaching about the soul and the relationship with God and yet, it is my understanding from the time I was a Bible reader, that Jesus did not really talk about the soul, but rather the relationship between people.

I am not mocking religion and I apologize if it comes across that way. I am just fed up with people taking advantage of the emotions of others.

The fact that not many know of this guy with the internet and everything else shows that he is just another false prophet. I hope that he learns and works to get his followers into the right frame of mind for the second coming.
