^^^ Yup, Mormons and Witnesses consider themselves "Christian".

Jehovah's hate Christians don't they? Bringing up my Christian belief normally sends the more insistent ones packing.
I will sometimes ask why they have to be brainwashed at 5 am every day till they are 18. Makes their belief a lot less real. [/b][/quote]
Whether they hate "the competition" or not, I can't say, but seeing how they do believe in a man named Jesus Christ existed a couple of thousand years ago, and they need to get his house ready for when he comes back to kick ass, I *think* you can call it a form of Christianity.
Some may try to label either one of them as cults, since they introduce their own documents as "scripture", for example the Book of Mormon. (Which by the way isn't a replacement to the Bible for Mormons, it is a supplement). I have read a bit of the JW literature as well, if only to be able to debate with past co-workers who have tried to convert me. Their literature has been really dumbed down in my opinion, which goes to their belief that you don't need to be concerning yourself with a lot of education, when the end of the world is coming, build Jesus' house. I save the cult label to those endorsing suicide when a comet flies by.
