So he probably WAS a politician like you said he was, then said he wasn't. At this point it doesn't really seem relevant. Im sure they were great leaders, good men....maybe even good Christians, though good is somewhat subjective. Im sure we can say they were both great political activists...or maybe someone will say MLK was and JF was only a good political activist. etc etc etc, but that is my opinion...I've never looked to JW as my Christian leader....
