    or if there is one already...point me to it...the longer i am here...the more i realize that the FDS/WT may have started with good intentions like maybe the Pharisees did....but they went nutso and added a zillion things not even in the bible and so have the FDS...some of these things are minor and some are not...like"

    1. hatred of mens facial hair and sideburns (privileges witheld if you have too much or wrong style) also length of mens hair

    2. clothing requirements, ties/jackets/suits mandatory for ministry/talks/privileges....and sisters can freeze there ass of rather than wear a hilliary clinton pantsuit or they can not be on the school

    3. birthday celebration....the anniversary of our childs birth is the same importance as wedding anniversary

    4. claiming it was there and using the name jehovah in the new testament when no manuscript contains it (thats kinda a big one)

    5. allowing blood fractions when blood was required to be poured on the ground...never mind that the instructions were only about eating blood and that the only way they could "abstain" from blood was to not eat it or use it in pagan worship (odd that the priests used it so much in the worship of jehovah...barf)...medical use should be perfectly fine...i wonder if the fractions have dirt in it?

    6. higher education is a bad thing, even if you live at home...yet high school is ok if you live at home...(and believe me...there is not any difference between the fun stuff you can do at both..but college is more likely to open your mind...not just your zipper)

    7. masturbation is an evil sin

    well i can go on but just how many things are there that are not supported by the Bible?............oompa

    Christianity is an organization instead of a way of life.

    Salvation is dependent upon belonging to the JW denomination.

    The Watchtower organization speaks for and is controlled by Jehovah, thereby equating the organization with God himself.

    Authority over individual Christians is centered in an organization instead of letting Christ be the head of each Christian.

    The "faithful and discreet slave" is an "anointed class" rather than each individual Christian who shows himself or herself to be responsible and obedient to Christ.

    The early Christians were led by a governing body

    Jesus appointed the "anointed remnant" as his true church in 1919.

    The so-called "anointed" class (actually, the governing body) is God's channel and prophet.

    The Bible cannot be correctly understood without the aid of WT literature and programs.

    Jesus returned in 1914 and is "invisibly present" since then.
