  "When a coin in the coffer rings, a soul from Purgatory springs."

  One of the major reasons for the Reformation.

  Aren't US legal Cohibas from the Dominican Republic? Since both countries are so close in location, what would make Cuban cigars better than Dominican cigars? The allure of forbidden fruit?

  my sister in law jackie and her hubby came to visit this weekend.. .

  last month, so they told us, they went to the opera, in sheffield.

  just before the opera started a couple of security guys arrived and asked them if they would please stand so that 2 people could pass them to some vacant seats further along the row.. .

  Englishman:
  

  Monarchies are more stable then republics? How do you define stability?

  The Swiss republic has lasted hundreds of years with great freedom for its citizens.

  The English monarchy is only stable because it is accountable to the people through Parliament. The Royals are your countries' greatest draw for English tourism but don't you think of the Prime Minister as the real leader of the British people?

  I am an honest person and value greatly the founding ideas of America. Republican democracy, freedom of expression and laissez-faire capitalism are great blessings to mankind from the American Revolution and the philosophy of the Enlightenment.

  The reason the Watchtower will not survive the internet is because the Watchtower crumbles in the light of freedom of expression. The internet gives individual Witnesses the means to check out what the Watchtower says and prove for themselves that the Watchtower lies, misleads and manipulates.

  These people were convinced that the Paradise Earth meant no technology beyond that of the old west. The Elder actualy yelled at me to shut up and was shaking visibly and told me it was dificult for him not to hit me.

  How much of a Witness are you? Take the quiz!

  by AlmostAtheist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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).

  I am 17% Witness according to this. Hmmm. That seems like a much higher score than I would like. It was nice for the survey results to conclude that I have a bad attitude and rebellious spirit. I haven't been told that since my last meeting with the Elders years ago. Ah the good old days.
