Since 5/18/2010We don't buy or sell wts anymore not for years now and it was only nominal when we did just to cover the printing costs.
It's amazing how much slave labour costs.

I always said that the elders could name the teams, coaches, quarterbacks of the NFL teams but not the names of the 12 apostles.

I think you'll find witnesses have a vast bible knowledge compared to the general populous or anyone for that matter. It is a well-oiled lamp in our hands.
One opening point I use on the ministry is "Do you have a bible. have you ever read it?" and nearly everytime they say "yes they have a bible and no they haven't ever read it".
And also compared to most religions that put their doctrines ahead of the bible. So to be a trinitarian you need a degree in trinity but not the bible to be a trinitarian. Using john 1:1 from their translations usually does the trick for them.
Your average person these days wouldn't even know how to look a scripture up.
Actually if I said to some what religion are you and they say "I am church of England" and I ask them if they read the bible they usually say no. To them religion is just something they write on the odd form.
One of the main reasons I am a Jehovah's witness is that I like reading the whole bible without flinching at the contradictions. To be in a Christian Religion where Jehovah is my one God and father throughout the bible is marvelous.

Some Witnesses have a vast knowledge of what WT says - not what the Bible says.

Hi Snowbird
Our publications are tools that direct us to the bible teachings. Any principle or rule we apply to a modern setting is a bible one.
Is it okay to smoke when the bible principle of treating our body like a temple is applied?

That's for you to decide.
The WT takes it out of your hands, and tells you what to decide.
Yes, I know about 2 Corinthians 7:1.

Just a small nitpick on this sentence, Debator. Witnesses only have the interpretations of a few men drilled into them. There is a huge difference between bible knowledge obtained personally and filtered bible knowledge through a group of men.

Oops. sorry. Tobit 3:4

Isn't it amusing that the ONLY dubbie to post on this thread has more posts in it than anyone else, but didn't name ONE common dub scripture.
debator: you must be too busy doing stuff with that lamp oil on your hands. Go finish your business and then post some scriptures that most dubbies know.
Note:
3) CHARACTER - Scriptures for self-betterment as a human. Includes character development, parenting, etc.
4) YOUR HAPPINESS - Scriptures on attaining joy, happiness, peace and full self-expression in life
5) CHARITY FOR OTHERS - Scriptures which emphasize love, compassion and forgiveness of ourselves and othersFully HALF of my categories include good things. Happy things. Christian things. Yet, I haven't seen ONE commonly known dub scripture yet that fits into any of those categories. So quit rubbin' yer lamp and post one! (If you can.) But it has to be one that most dubbies could cite book, chapter, verse from memory.
