I'm confident that others (eg wotsup, bowral, MrGordon) make the same claim but for different reasons, but all justifying themselves from the same source - the bible (as you do).

"Mr Gordon is looking forward to a day that a man appointed by God will judge in righteousness"
I thought it is the Archangel that MrGordon believes will do the judging. But you also believe in some sort of judgement either directly from God or through an agent, don't you?

"Unfortunately Mr Gordon also had that same man annihilated

so part from the Bible part outside"
You may be right about that. I don't know. I suggest that you check with MrGordon.

"that is why sola scriptura and tota scriptura has resulted nominally in over 98% of Christianity recognizing the Triune God"
I have no attachment to or against a trinity belief. Both positions are justified through scripture, as I'm sure you are aware.

"Mr Gordon Bowral etc they are a small fringe cult within a small percentage or outliers"
That in itself doesn't make them wrong.

"so yes do not take this fringe seriously as they fail either sola scriptura and definitely tot scriptura"
I do take them very seriously because (among other things) of the negative impact that their exclusive doctrine has had on my close family.

"but it does not mean we do not present the Gospel to those who are lost such as Mr Gordon and his JW friends."
MrGordon and his JW mates no doubt think that you need to be presented with the "correct" doctrine.

I find it difficult to take a religion seriously that is so divided? So many beliefs, and so much division and from one source, the bible. Yes, I know, some say that this is foretold, but still of no value really.
