10A question for bible believers...
by Qcmbr insince the bible was put together after the christian 'church' was formed, since the ot was largely superceded by the teachings of jesus and finally since the new testament was largely a series of letters to individual churches - why do we put so much credence on a set of translated scriptures written by a culture seperated from our own by 2000 years?
and as a back up to this question - if the canon of scriptures are clearly not the sole basis of the early christian church - what should the church be built on?

Why are JW illustrations so bad?
by Qcmbr inare all jw illustrations done by the same person?
i have always been somewhat surprised at the quality of them - i have seen children's books with more compelling and moving pictures (the enormous turnip brings tears to my eyes) - i know i'm being critical but its almost bedtime and i can't help it hehe.

Were you ever so bored witnessing that you did something fun to spice it up
by Qcmbr inwhen i was a missionary we had had a full day of door knocking and we were bored out of our skulls.we decided that since we'd been told by quite a few born agains that we were representatives of satan that.... we'd pull a couple of thorns off a rose bush and spend the next hour tracting with them stuck to our heads like little mini horns.

What did you do during school assemblies?
by Qcmbr inin my school the two jw kids sat out of assemblies and i always wondered what they got up during that time.
i always wanted to have the courage to say i had religious objections to assemblies but to be honest i just hated siting cross legged on the wooden floor for ages.
anyone experience sitting out assemblies (or whatever your school equivelant is) and what did you do?
