I don't get it, they arent violent or anything. But people have such a negative view of the baptist church. It's weird

Indeed.

I haven't looked into the Greek around the word Father in the context Christ used it. Everyone had an emma and an abba (momma and poppa). We have labels for these in the familial sense but the Catholics use the word "father" as a title and that title is to be reserved for the Heavenly Father. It isn't for guys in funny hats and fancy robes.

Jehovah's Witnesses are nuts. Our Catholic friend decries private interpretation. JWs suffer from private revelation, much like Mormons and Adventists. Private revelation is the mark of a cult. Speaking of which, the very arguments Catholics make that only a collection of fancy hat wearing folk get to interpret the Bible and have their spiritual revelations turns Catholicism into a faith built on private revelation as well. They can go into their private room and have a "revelation" that something sinful suddenly isn't sinful when it's done according to whatever rules they proscribe. It's just bad. There's no mechanism for preventing the church from corrupting itself.
