Fisherman:
"How do you know she is playing the martyr? How does being angry with me show that you know she is playing the martyr?"
I'm not angry with you. That cartoon was directed at the exchange between you and Viviane.
As for playing the martyr, if she knew beforehand that she was going to jail and if she basked in the publicity amongst her fellow believers who supported her then that's enough of a reason to figure out her motives.

Fisherperson: "How do you know?"
How do I know she's playing the martyr? She has stated, before she got jailed, that she was willing to go to jail. She's been held up in Fundamentalist Christian circles as a hero for taking a stand.
This issue has been brewing before the mainstream media picked up on it. Go here for more details.

a former lebanese (christian) terrorist once told me a story (meant to be funny) about west asian politics.. a turtle was swimming past the shoreline of the red sea.
on the shore a scorpion calls out,"hey!
give me a lift over to the other side.
for those of you interested in getting to the bottom of the watchtower's teaching on sheol, hades, condition of the dead etc.
; this information is about as good as it gets.
the idea of consciousness after death was widely accepted from israel's earliest times, contrary to what the watchtower would have its members believe.. the lexicographical evidence is so clear that the great princeton scholar, b. b. warfield; stated that with modern hebrew scholars, there is no hesitation to allow with all heartiness that israel from the beginning of its recorded history cherished the most settled conviction of the persistence of the soul in life after death.
Here is how scholars reconstruct ancient Hebrew cosmology. Sheol is labeled "Underworld".
Not shown in this image is how the sun travels from west to east during the night. There was supposed to be a tunnel with an opening on both sides at the left and right (west and east) extremes of the dome where the sun would drop in and travel back to the east. That tunnel would have passed underneath "Sheol".

Simon:
"Do people know the reason for needing a marriage license in the first place?"
I take it that licenses formalize the marriage so that benefits and divorces could be easily handled. Otherwise couples who separate and have property disputes might simply state that they weren't "married" in the first place.
this may sound like a silly question, but do jws even door-knock any more?
the few i know only speak of "manning the cart" at some public location, and because they get defensive if i even ask an innocent question like this i thought i'd ask it on the forum.
thanks!.
I live in a large apartment complex where 90% of all residents are or used to be JWs. I thought that would mark this residence with a don't bother to call label. I did get one of my neighbors, an elderly lady ready to drop dead, at my door a couple years ago. I also got, within the past 10 years, two Spanish Witnesses asking me if I could direct them to Spanish speaking neighbors.
I'm surprised that as a "demonized" apostate they haven't marked my home but I don't care one way or another.
