Are you serious? There is nothing in this fake QfR article you authored to suggest that it is a parody, which is not the kind of information that a good parody would contain, and I having to give it to you: This article you wrote was well-written and could fool the not-as-studious as the rest Witness into believing it to be a real article published by the WTS, and, like I said above, nothing prevents what you wrote from appearing without the "headnote" in some other form. Give yourself credit; it's good, but you might have opened yourself up to a lawsuit. We'll see what happens.

Exactly WHO is it that is going to go to an apostate website like this one and print out sd-7's parody mistaking it for the real WT study for the week?
Maybe you should have tried to use your imagination a bit before mindlessly asking me such a question: The "haters" here on JWN for whom printing @sd-7's post (without the headnotes) and distributing the resultant printouts to unsuspecting Witnesses wherever they think they can find them (which happens a lot here in Los Angeles with "flyers" tucked behind windshield wipers of the cars parked in Kingdom Hall parking lots, for example). Although @steve2 thinks me to be "naive," I know what "you guys" do and will do because most of your are driven by your hatred and intolerance for Jehovah's Witnesses, even though you were once, many of you, numbered among us.
@Joey Jo-Jo:
1- [you're] on an "apostate" web site 2 - [You're] aware that you are on an "apostate" web site 3 - You have been a long term user of this message board 4 -other times you go beyond what the WB&TS teaches and finally 5- Its very clear when reading all your posts that you can not come up with an answer, so we throw all this evidence and you just sound like a broken record.
This is a website that is frequented by many former Jehovah's Witnesses that now call themselves apostates, who have the viewpoint that being an apostate is a badge or honor, but since I continue to actively be one of the Jehovah's Witnesses, then it would appear that what we have here is a website that is frequently visited by former Jehovah's Witnesses that are no longer Jehovah's Witnesses and at least one active Jehovah's Witness, although there are more than just one active Jehovah's Witness that frequents JWN, some of whom will post messages to a thread every now and again, and some that never post messages here, but lurk the active threads here.
I do not keep track of the number of former Jehovah's Witnesses and active Jehovah's Witnesses that visit JWN, nor am I interesting in compiling statistics that @Simon is in a much better position to access and record if it were at all necessary to his running this website, but I do know that there are folks that visit JWN and even post messages here (like @TD) that have never been baptized, never been one of Jehovah's Witnesses, so, statistically speaking, I am of the opinion that while you have the right to disagree with me, I would submit that JWN is not an apostate website since as long as @Simon permits me to post messages here, JWN will never be an apostate website.
Now while you are certainly entitled to your opinion, entitled to believe whatever it is you choose to believe, if you have it in you, I would be willing to hear you prove otherwise, if you can. If you do not have it in you to prove your contention, that's fine, because I knew when I was writing this post that you would flake, and that you weren't the kind of person that possessed the kind of backbone that, when challenged, could get you to do more than blow smoke than back up your words here with proof. Among yourselves, you are here giving glory to one another for your wittiness and clever tactical maneuvers as your cowardice makes you hide what you truly are as you deceive those with whom you regularly attend meetings into believing you are one of Jehovah's Witnesses, and yet some of you here that pretentiously attend meetings at your local congregation dare to bash me for frequenting a website that you believe to be apostate in nature.
All of this hypocrisy on the part of some sounds rather, er, hypocritical to me for you would condemn me for posting messages to JWN while at the same time giving a pass to the pretenders because they happen to have been willing to confess their duplicity here on JWN?? This suggest that JWN is like a confessional where duplicitous Jehovah's Witnesses come to receive absolution, but this cannot be true, is it?
To you, @Joey Jo-Jo, JWN is an apostate website, but to me, JWN is a place where I get to speak, both candidly and honestly, to lurkers of JWN while responding to some of the notions that many members of JWN assert and believe to be true, like that thread when @moshe argued, and without success I might add, that Jehovah's Witnesses celebrated the Memorial of Christ's death did so on the wrong day this year and @WontLeave argued, again without success, that Jesus died, not on Nisan 14, but on Nisan 15, which is the day after the passover, which day she argued to not only have been when the passover seder was eaten, but also the day when the sons of Israel left Egypt. I'm sure the lurkers enjoyed it when I overturned their erroneous arguments. Studying our literature is a good thing, but the failure to study the Bible is what makes one a cripple, for without a knowledge of the Bible, most of you have a severe handicap in knowing what you read in a particular magazine article or book on a particular matter while hardly knowing what the Bible itself teaches regarding that matter. I enjoy using the threads started here on JWN to magnify the name of the true God, Jehovah, which is fitting since the name of this website is Jehovahs-Witness.net, is it not? BTW, this thread, I believe, is about @sd-7's fake QfR article, which he calls "a parody."
BTW, while I found your post to be interesting (meaning only that it caught my interest), I found it also to be boring, and in posting what you did to this thread, you and @lovelylil and @pirata were all off-topic. If you had nothing to contribute to this thread, like maybe an "attaboy" to the OP about his wonderful writing skills that even fooled a few folks like @cheerios and @nugget and now @Igot2me before they realized your post was just a joke, then why hijack someone else's thread just to tell me something that you believe must be understood according to your own understanding when I reject any opinion that I don't personally solicit, and especially the stupid ones?
