JWs should also be cautious of books because they have been known to contain evil things.

No.
All the animals went onto the ark in pairs. Except the maggots
They went in apples.

Or anything at all made by Keebler - (cookies or not) - because they are made by ELVES who live in a treehouse. They could turn into Smurfs in an instant...
Same logic as the birthday situation: Apple + Eve + Adam + Snake = Original Sin.
Birthday Party + Phony Dictator + Selfish Stage Mother + Table Dance by Brainless Stripper = Head of John the Baptist on a silver platter.
Logical, No?

Only if they are peeled, sliced, covered in sugar and cinnamon and baked in a pie crust. That way they no longer look like apples and so any similarity to the fruit that Eve tempted Adam with, to the downfall and degradation of the human race, will be negated. As we all know, its how something looks, not what it actually is, that counts.

as long as it doesn't look like a bum...
could they use a bong as a flower vase?...

But we are missing something here! The JWs always made a huge point of saying that "apple legend" was a babylon the great thing - it was actually just "forbidden fruit" that Eve gave to Adam and we don't know if it was an apple or not...
Just to be different in one more detail, I guess.

Yea, good point, so jehovahs witnesses should avoid ALL fruit, just to be on the safe side (thats god's side!!)
