Now, this thread has very clearly implied we are talking about our subjective liking for Christian denominations on a relative scale. So even if you don't like Christianity itself you can prefer one school over others. Say in terms of having less dislike for any particular school relative to other schools if you do not actually like any Christian denomination at all.
I like Catholicism the most. It has an interesting history and has culturally influenced western world a lot. The major cultural changes that the western world underwent in early modern era were more or less directly or indirectly related to Catholicism or opposition of Catholicism. Eastern Orthodox would be my second favourite though I admit that I have very little knowledge of this school. I do love to read about the Russian Church's history.
The school that appeals the least to me is the Protestant religion. I find it extremely boring and this is a sort of religion that never makes me inquisitive at all. Different Protestant denominations make me feel totally repulsed.

I might be biased considering that's how I was raised, but Catholicism for me.

I can't say which one I like but definitely not Catholicism. Yes it puts on a nice show, but I think by calling Mary the mother of God and having all those saints, as well as priests being able to forgive sins, it's more akin to paganism.

Mine but it’s non-denominational
I think JW’s are most accurate Scripturally, but add too many of their own tenets.
I might like Lutheran if I ever went to a service.
Mega church ones in Lexington seem to be fairly lenient.

Mega church ones in Lexington seem to be fairly lenient. Anyone would infer from your post that this "mine" is not JWs. Is that a correct inference? (I ask that because there is a possible alternate understanding.)

I no longer attend church but if I were to, I'd try to find one that still sings the classic hymns instead of the contemporary crap music that so many use these days.

Protestantism. Catholicism is overly complicated for me.

I wouldn’t infer that.

I wouldn’t infer that. Well, I see fours separated sentences. The first refers to an unnamed church simply designated, "Mine". The second talks of JWs. The third, Lutheran. The fourth, "Mega churches". The implication (as I see it) is that they are exclusive of each other. I asked him if "Mine" and JWs are actually exclusive. You see with his response that he dodges answering.

Catholicism, of course (but, I really like Orthodoxy too). You should have added a poll for this one too, AJ.

ive explained why I don’t reference my specific church. However, that in no way means that I would then lie. I keep waiting for some kind of proofs you have after I have repeatedly stated I wasn’t. If I were one of JW’s I would proudly announce it. I’m not even sure what I’ve said that makes ones think that I’m concerned about being called one. The only one who has ever lied between us two is you and maybe this is you deflecting that fact? I don’t thunk you’ve ever provided another reason.

Catholic, Coptic, and Eastern Orthodox.
In my country we have something called 501c3, and I'm told there are some churches that don't comply with it, and I admire them for that.

Because the snakes keep the membership population in control?

If I were one of JW’s I would proudly announce it. You'd like to pretend we haven't been over this before. I can almost recite word for word what I've told you in the past, but it seems I must do it again. I have never said you are a JW. I know, formally by baptism, that you are not. On this board, that gives you a factual deniability.

bombarding the biosphere with ballistic buffoonery
quadriplegics have the distinct advantage of not having to hold up their hands sporting middle fingers while propped up bent over assuming a position that oh so many generations of war profiteers just love lauding over on the next generation of innocence gone astray for it seems next to impossible to propagate any brand of judgment day without first announcing the coming of a god of radiation who's never ever going away and oh the promises they made on a pretense of just who gets to march in their convoluted parade.
sjw 12/12/18 inspired at this very moment in time by and oh what happened then was rich.
