(1) Why does your religion require so many more things prior to baptism than were required for Cornelius and his family? (Acts 10)
(2) Since world population is growing a lot faster than your religion, why do you still use door to door to preach? Isn't it pretty clear by now that it is an ineffective way to spread your message?
(3) Why do your elders claim clergy privilege in court cases if your religion doesn't have a clergy/laity division?
(4) Why are accusations in your religion handled by elders convening private trials? (1 Timothy 5:20)
(5) Since First Century Christians regularly went to the Jewish temples while religious observances were going on and Paul was in the temples of Athens observing the worship of the local pantheists, can Jehovah's Witnesses visit the places of worship of other faiths?
{Edit} A couple of people requested the Scripture references for this...
Acts 17, in the famous Pauline speech on the Aereopagus, Paul states that he was observing objects of worship to various gods. These were found in temples.
For the following, it is important to remember these people were born Jews, but were Christians at the time of their presence in the Jewish temples/synagogues. According to their doctrine, this would be akin to a Jew converting to Jehovah's Witnesses in modern times. With the synagogues, it is frequently specified "the synagogue of the Jews."
Temple: Acts 2:46-47; 5:17-21, 25-26, 42; 21:26-32
Synagogue(s): Acts 9:18-20; 13:4-5, 13-15; 14:1; 17:1-3, 10-11, 17; 18:4, 18-19; 19:6-8
(6) Where does the Bible indicate that unbaptized persons should preach?
(7) Where in the Bible can I find the word "paradise" used specifically in reference to the earth?
(8) Since John 10:16 was quoting Jesus speaking to the Pharisees before his death, weren't the two folds the Jews and Gentiles that would later be joined into one flock as Christians? (Ephesians 2:14-18) If there is a little flock and all Christ's sheep become one flock, isn't the little flock the one they all become part of? If not, why not?
How are those?
