@ Finkelstein:
"A major part of the way theocracies are maintained and structured is the propagation and utilization of fear."
Very true. Saudi Arabia which has the death penalty for apostates comes to mind. Fear mongery embedded in their children's education from the moment they learn to talk.
I myself was told in my disfellowshipping trial that if I were in Israel I would be stoned. That's what the Witnesses would do if they had sovereign territory.

[how would a jw twist the following scripture that says job offered a sin offering in case the sinned...]5.after a series of banquet days was complete, job would send for them in order to sanctify them.

"lol, so nobody wants to touch the dragon thing? or that God for 'no reason' let satan torture Job?"
God did have a (wretched) reason to allow Satan to torture and devastate Job. Satan challenged him indicating that Job would not hold faithful if his wealth was gone. God was trying to prove that he would have remained faithful no matter what. It was an ego trip for God.
