When it comes down to it, what I know and what I believe in is based on my bible studies, not because someone told me believe this and I blindly believe in it.

A cult describes an extreme point of view on a subject. Remember that. Teaching basic and moral and ethical ideals is good for everyone and an extreme subject.

Re: God damned Jehovah’s Witnesses.
As as the hell thing goes I think you'd find it interesting to note that Acts 2:22-31 says that Jesus was in hell. Why would that be be? It doesn't make since that he would be punished. And that's why many believe that hell is mankinds common grave and not a place of eternal torment.
[22] Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
[23] Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
[24] Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
[25] For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
[26] Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
[27] Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
[28] Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
[29] Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
[30] Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
[31] He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
