It's how the message is interpreted that makes the two different.
As I said in my other example, a xian would have no problem with another xian sharing their religious beliefs with them, and so wouldn't think twice about doing it to others, I've been on the recieving end of it many times, and I actually find it rather unpleasant. I don't believe in the xian god, and even if it did exist, the last thing I'd do is worship it (won't go into what I would do, it tends to upset Russ).

@point 3 I thought you were actually stating it against an individual . There has been none of that since the ransom was paid .You say you have experience of JW's so you know how I see the end of days. Everyone not in the Truth(which does include me) will die at armageddon but anyone who has already suffered death will get resurrected to do on Earth as it is in Heaven . Do you know the rest of the JW belief of the afterlife?

As in: What afterlife? When you die you die. No sleeping, no heaven, in the ground awaiting judgment day when you'll be brought back to life and then slaughtered again if you don't cut the mustard. Those who do make it will have all their bad experiences removed from their minds (which always reminds me of that great Kirk speach from ST5 "I need my pain"), and they'll be perfect humans, so anyone who's infertile will be able to have kids, anyone with Parkinsons will be cured, halleluja, what a great way to gather more followers (like my old boss who's wife was infertile, or a friend's dad who believed if he was a good JW his late dad would get the benefit and come back - it's things like that which make me mad at humankind).
Oh and 144000 (hebrew slang for a large number) will spend eternity in heaven.

How can someone who has true faith not think that their God loves you too? He wouldnt be a loving Gd if he didnt  but how does me thinking my God loves you push anything onto you?

It does when you start involving me in your beliefs. Keep it to yourself, show a little respect.
The bible gives plenty of evidence for not being a loving god though.
