Hi there!
So you want to know about quirks? Here goes:
1. Witnesses can't celebrate birthdays. Anniversaries are OK.
2. They claim to be Christian, but their members are not allowed to partake of the wine and bread. Only a few select Witnesses are allowed to do so, the rest can just look at them and pass them around.
3. They believe in a mother organization, who is their mediator, not Jesus like it says in the Bible.
4. This organization is all powerful, and if you leave it for any reason you lose your family because they will shun you, I mean really shun you to the point if they see you on the street they will turn their head away.
5. Everybody but Witnesses are going to be cruelly destroyed by God any minute now at Armageddon. God will take care of the tens of millions of dead bodies by use of carrion birds who will eat out the corpses' eyes and flesh.
6. The organization controls every aspect of your life, including what goes on in married people's bedrooms.
7. They believe that you run the risk of demon possession if you shop at garage sales.
8. They protect child molesters. Often, when an abused child reports abuse, they are told they need two eye-witnesses before anything can be done. Often, they are shunned for coming forward.
Any more, anyone?
Good luck on your report. Tell your schoolmates to be careful of these folks.
Hugs, V
