The Decepto-Meter!
We brought each quote near the decepto-meter for a reading to determine the type of deception and how bad it was.
Here are the four categories of misquotes as determined by the
decepto-meter!
Satanic Quote: So utterly deceptive, not even the devil could do
better.
Deceptive Quote: Very deceptive use of selective quoting to make the
reader conclude something opposite to what the author of the quote is
actually saying.
False Dilemmas: A false dilemma is where you force someone into a
wrong conclusion with only two choices without telling them there is a
third option to consider. A typical example of a false dilemma is where
anti-Trinitarians lead the reader to falsely conclude that if Jesus is
subordinate to the Father, that Jesus must be a creature.
Self-quoting: Quoting fellow anti-Trinitarians to trash the trinity,
is no better than a Catholic quoting a priest to prove that Peter is the
first pope!

This is one of the Watchtower's Star Witnesses! Trashes whole of Core Christianity. Weigall, is a modernist and doesn't believe the Bible is God's word. He trashes 99% of what both JW's and Trinitarians believe as from Pagan origin. JW's leave the impression that Weigall would exempt JW's from his comments! In fact, Weigall specifically addresses the Watchtower/Arian/Jw view of God known as Angel-Christology, stating that "angel-Christology" is from Pagan origin!

Our Islamic specialist applied the Muslim's own "hero myth test" to the Islamic religion itself and came up with a score of: 14/22! Moses scored 14/22 too! That is only one less than Christ at 15/22! Reglan never discusses Christianity in his book, but Muslims have drawn conclusions for Reglan.

First the Watchtower leaves the reader with the false impression that Lohse believes that trinity originated with the pagans and has no scriptural basis. Second, the Watchtower, through a series of deceptive quotes, irresponsibly portrays Constantine as a faithless sun-god pagan idol worshipper with no understanding of Christianity who single-handedly introduces trinity to Christianity from the pagans and is almost the author of the Nicene creed.
