other people have ghosts and goblins and fairy godmothers.. jw's have demons.. demonized chairs, forks, pictures, pages from books, dolls, etc.

etc.. the most aggravating demon related thing my mother ever did was throw away my fantastic of collection of toys from around the world.

i was about 10 and joined something called the kid's explorer's club.

Questions for JW in Bible studies
by Shazard in
1. watchtower
2. bible
here was thread which gave me this idea http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/108254/1.ashx .

is there some good "compilation" of good questions (not too much) to ask jw in bible studies with potential new jw to expose their "truth".

i know there are hundreds of questions, dozens of sites with different questions for jw, but i am thinking about specific questions to ask in presence of new student and their "teacher" to plant seeds of doubt in the student that there is something wrong with studies!

supposedly the mayan long count calendar ends on this day with a rare astrological conjunction.

speculation as to what happens that day runs from the end of time to nothing special.

do you think the hype on this will be greater than 2000?

by nicolaou in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
10- you vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of your god - jehovah.. .

9- you feel insulted and 'dehumanized' when scientists say that people evolved from lesser life forms, but you have no problem with the biblical claim that we were created from dirt.. .

8- you laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in multidues of demons, angels, cherubs etc.. .
