Just MAYBE she went back to the Elders and said, '' this young gorgeous hunk gave me his phone number and asked me to call him tonight, with the answers to these questions''. BUT the Elders reminded her that WORLDLY men are only after one thing - and it ISN'T the Watchtower.
Elderly JW refused to open her Bible...

EXCUSE ME!
As a worldly man, I resent the insinuation. And it's not accurate.
I am after a beer and a smoke as well.

Poor woman probably couldn't phone Auld Soul back as she was in a JC trying to explain how she got 50 cents from a Worldly man.

Reminds me of the old joke with the punch-line 'They all did'!.

A beer and a smoke sound good to me, but what do you mean by as well?

What were 4 questions?

Sorry, you impatient lot. I went to sleep while you were pressing for the questions.
Okay...recollecting through the haze of coffeeless wakefulness...is "coffeeless" a word? It should be. But I digress. Often.
(1) In Hebrews 1 we see that even the angels do obeisance to Jesus. This is the same act of worship Satan asked Jesus to do to him in Matthew 4. If even angels worship Jesus, why shouldn't we worship Jesus?
(2) Where in the Bible do we find that congregation elders have authority to hold secret trials to judge guilt, innocence, and/or repentance?
(3) Where in the Bible do we find that anyone is qualified to preach BEFORE baptism?
(4) If "in the beginning" Jesus was "a god" then why does Isaiah say that YHWH is the ONLY God? Was Jesus a false god, in the beginning, or was he YHWH?
And so...she never called. I do not wonder why.
Respectfully,

Sounds like she used "theocratic warfare" to bum a cup of coffee of you! LOL.....

I found out too that elderly JW's do not move out of their comfort zone easily in a discussion about JW teachings.

Good questions AS, I'm not surprised she didn't call back.
JWs generally dislike talking to people who ask awkward questions, they can't control the call
