    BTW, I think Elsewhere's list is complete. The full 104 may not look so since they renumber for parts 1, 2, 3.
    Here's the ones that caught my eye. Many would be of interest to an Unbelieving Mate (UBM). The referenced scriptures are to support the correct answer to the questions. The expected beliefs on God, Marriage, Health and Hygiene are all laid out. Some of the questions are just plain wacky. I've given the provided answers or scriptures for some of them that might be of interest to an UBM.

    Part 1, Q 20 Who is Satan the Devil? Where did he and his demons come from?

    Part 2, Q 2 What is the only Scriptural basis for divorce that frees one to remarry? Part 2, Q 7 How does Jehovah view (a) the unlawful shedding of human blood? (b) abortion? (c) suicide? Part 2 Q 13 How should Christians view the shortcomings of fellow believers?

    Part 2 Q 20 Why should Christians abstain from all nonmedical use of addictive or mind-altering natural or synthetic substances?

    Part 2 Q 29 What is the Christian's position as to the world alienated from God?

    (Quotes Rev. 18:4, 5; Matt. 7:13, 14, 21-23; 1 Cor. 10:30; 2 Cor. 6:14-18)

    Part 3: Q 13 What is the Governing Body of the Christian congregation?

    (Quotes Acts 15:1, 2)

    Acts 15:1 = "And certain men came down from Judea and began to teach the brothers..."unless you get circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved".

    so this means that the governing body circumcises all the brothers?????

    I'm outa here !!!
