::360 things you MUST BELIEVE in to be a Jehovah's Witness...
Now, isn't that the case with all ideologies/religions?
Once you declare yourself as a JW or Mormon or Catholic... you buy a whole package of beliefs. There's no way you can say 'Ok, I want Jehovah, but only if coupled with the Virgin Mary'. (OOOPS - blasphemy - mods, please delete that :-).) No way - it's whole sale, no retail.
Of course most mainstream religions are much more liberal about what their members believe and unlike the dubs they have no problems even with members publically disagreeing with the core doctrine.
Same goes for thoughtlessly declaring yourslef left-wing or right-wing. If you are right-wing you are for life-protection, because you oppose abortion, right? But wait, aren't you more for death penalty?
This is exactly the opposite of what many lefties believe: no problem with killing embrios, big problems with killing people who have been found guilty of murder, etc. (for they might be innocent or rehabilitable (or what's the word?)).
Go figure. Again - this is mostly true of people who buy the whole '360'-item belief package.
It's nice when people conscioussly decide what they really believe. Unfortunately not everybody has time for it. LOL.
