Because it looks like the paradise, you could say you conducted it as your family bible study, and count field service time that way.

i spent the week-end putting this together.
what a waste of time !!!
imagine telling an elder that you didn't go out in the field service on saturday morning because you wanted to finish your puzzle..... poor elder would die of a heart attack.

for me it's "the doors of the ark are closing.
i can never forget as a child, being forced to see the graphic images in the publications showing families, mothers with little babies clinging to a rock and others drowning as the ark floats away.
fathers shaking their fists at god for destroying their families... it's like some of the little mind control still functioning in there somewhere causing a kneejerk reaction of uneasiness.... are there any others that bug you?.
the term that person is "marked". I hate that term.

whats in your personal bible or religious library?
let's see what i have... cambridge kjv (really nice, calfskin leather), cambridge reb (really nice, not as good as kjv though), 50 year old douay rheims (with annoying jw notes and written-in textual changes inside, courtesy jw great-grandmother), rsv-ce (imitation leather, looks extremely cheap), nab (imitation leather, looks better but sucky confraternity notes in it).
that's my bible collection (i got rid of the nwt).
Heatmiser, that's cause I took all of my JW books and put them in a box. I then took the box and dropped it off on the Kingdom Hall steps. I made sure to write my name in every single book, just so they got the message. Haven't seen one of them since. I really don't have any other books.

i love music, my taste in music is very eclectic, classical, opera,techno/trance,spanish, pop, metal, rock, musicals etc.............. when i am angry my taste turns dark and i listen to marilyn manson.. what do you listen to when you are angry?.
Upside Down, I used to love that song. GnR is classic. I love STP's first album Core. Other than that they were O.K.

well, it's going to be the first memorial i'll miss out on.
no big deal, but i guess it has to be considered one of the final stages of "apostasy" :-).
i remember i used to see some df-ed people at memorials.
This is the second year for me now. Not as wierd as last year, but still a little bit.

In general my musical taste is very dark. I love things like NIN and Manson. The band I started recently is also a very dark musical taste. If you like dark stuff, you should check out some of the old Type O Negative stuff.

Best quaity- I have natural charisma and a good ability to communicate clearly
Worst quality- I hold all my deep feelings inside and tell no one, and I have no real self confidence, and I can't use tools very well

i've wasted most of a day putting this quiz together.
it's only 10 questions, please give it a go and see what you get!.
if you think it could make a decent anti-witnessing tool, i might dress it up with links to the quotes site and the watchtower site to prove the accuracy of the points made.. if you see any inaccuracies or misleading comments, please let me know.. url = http://www.thebentinel.com/jw-quiz.php (embedded below).
Funny! I somehow came out at 40% Jehovah's Witness. For any of you who know me, I despise the JW religion. I guess it's cause I don't spend much time with family, and I like hollidays to get presents, and I don't care too much about my reputation in the community. But at least I drive a two door car.
