    Okay, TD and others: can you please provide us with the answers? Many of your questions piqued my interest and I would like to know the answers.

    Here are some more questions:

    -Which of the following is condemned by the Watchtower Society: Weddings, Wedding Anniversaries, Birhtdays, Birthday Anniversaries?

    -With what group of people do the gospels indicate that Jesus spent the most time conversing: Tax collectors, Harlots, Kings, Apostate Samarians?

    -God is love and he therefore has done which of the following: Routinely healed babies born with severe birth defects or authorized the killing of a group of children for making fun of a bald man?

    (The answer in each case is the final option.)

    Shepherd: if they give you the answers you won't buy the game. LOL

    V: I think this is the coolest idea. I love Trivial Pursuit! And this one could serve as an easy reference for WT inconsistencies.

    Changling-

    Good point. Rest assured though, if such a game did become available, I would still purchase it, even if I already knew the answer to every question (this would help assure my winning the game)!

    I agree with some of the comments. If V's game is only for ex and never JW's, then the questions can be as coarse as you like. (Actually that would probably be the primary entertainment value of the game.) But if the game is to help JW friends and relatives think, then the, "Name two GB members who were child grabbing scum-bag perverts" type of questions wouldn't work.
