Can I pick up a New World Translation from the JW London head office?
by Camperdown9 ini'm an anglican and not a jehovahs witness.
what i dislike about lots of church congregations is their readiness to make unpleasant and unhelpful comments about other christian groups.
recently someone in a church tried to tell me a little about the views of jehovahs witnesses.

Umm, Camperdown. Do you watch the news often? Here's a clip from the US last year:
I suggest you tread carefully with the Witnesses. There are hundreds of more links like the one above. Just do a simple search.
Regarding the book, "What does the Bible Really Teach," I suggest you read the point by point response to this book, by Wilber Lingle. Here's a link to a site with his work, available for free downlowd (or viewable on the website).

Also, if I may:
Some of the mainstream Christian denominations do not make belief in Trinity a 'test of faith.' In other words, the only requirement is that you accept Jesus as your personal savior. The JWs make a big fuss about 'accurate knowledge.' I'm not saying you should not STRIVE for knowledge, but it should not determine who gains salvation, or not.
For a Biblical example, the thief who was cruxified alongside Jesus probably wasn't certain as to JC's nature--truine or otherwise. I'm sure there are better examples, but it certainly comes to mind.
Not to plug a particular denomination, but I know the Disciples of Christ, and probably the United Church of Christ (UCC) believe this way. Moreover, they try to help you have a personal relationship with God through JC...they don't try to act as 'God's mouthpiece,' as JWs appear to do. Not saying they're perfect, but they're definitely not considered cults. I'm thinking that mainstream Methodists and a few others are along these lines as well.
My 2 pesos, FWIW

America didn't "save the world" in WWII - they saved themselves along with everybody else.
Uhh..yeah. We only spent $13 billion USD to help rebuild post-war Europe through something called the Marshall Plan.
To be fair, the Russians did put up one helluva good fight against the Nazis. Major losses at Stalingrad.
But, to say the US was somehow just 'in it for ourselves' is just bullshit. We very reluctantly got involved in the first place.

The opposite of crazy is still crazy. Archie was a right-wing bigoted nut-job, and his son-in-law. "Meat Head," was a wishy-washy, lazy-assed hippie.
This is so common nowadays, ESPECIALLY on this site: the tendancy of people to fully embrace one form of 'crazy' over another, without taking time to sort through the issues on their own. I don't know if it's due to all the time indocrinated in the JW cult, that some feel the need to cling to a brand...or jump on a bandwagon of some kind. Now, I've just offended some of you...well boo f-ing hoo. Send your little 'dislikes' to me if it makes you feel better. LoL.

Three negatives? Whatever. Just do as Simon sarcastically put...give guns to EVERYONE. Then we'll ALL be safe. Forget discipline, forget SOP, forget regular training and qualifications standards. Let any dip-shit with a pulse own a gun. Fucking brilliant. Hell, maybe I'll let my 9 year old take my Beretta to school!!
And just what the fuck has Rubio and Trump got to do with this, or any other politician?! The kid just vanquished his own mom for Chrissakes, and will have to live with it for the rest of his life. She was still a fucking idiot though.

There's our 'well regulated militia.' Fucking idiotic bitch. With freedom comes responsibility!
Though I don't condider myself a 'gun-nut.' I do own a 9mm Beretta, a shotgun, and a deer rifle. I secure these pieces with the same level of vigilance that was instilled in me by Drill Sgt. Davis way back in the day at Ft. Jackson. So much as leave my M-16 unattended for a second, and I'm getting 'smoked' by the DS (in front of the whole platoon) and knocking out multiple pushups in the S. Carolina heat. That, and his war stories about VC infiltration during 'Nam, left an impression on me. Of course, I needed that level of discipline, because I was young & dumb!
Grown-ass adults with kids should just fucking know better.

The JWs I've shown this to don't seem to get the joke. It's a parody (psuedo religion), which mocks culty religions (religion in general). It seems to borrow heavily from JWs and Scientology.
In the 80s, it was common to see stenciled 'Dobbs Heads' (Google it) around college campuses. Here are some of their 'tracts' you can put inside her Watchtower book-bag:

Do what I did.
Go buy the "Book of the Sub-Genius," and leave it on the kitchen table, or in the bathroom:
