by ReligiousQuest inmy name is louie and i'm seeking some help regarding a paper i need to write for a class.
it is meant to be an individual study project regarding a faith that is different from your own and intrigues you.
what i am asking is for someone who is willing to answer 10-15 questions regarding their faith.

What are the most important lessons other people can receive from Jehovah’s Witnesses?
They are far more dangerous and destructive then their shiny outward appearance would ever indicate.

VISIBILITY
by LostGeneration inbreakfast of champions mentioned this on the elder appointment thread and it struck a chord with me.. is this term big in bethel?
obviously nothing in my bible says a thing about being 'seen' in serve-us or in other jw activities, but a long time bethelite went off on a visibility tirade that i remember distinctly during special servants/elders meeting when i was in.
i remember at the time thinking that the big j-dog in the heavens sees everything, so why the big fuss over the rank and file seeing us do stuff for the big j-dog?.

Anyway, any else have any 'you must be visible' experiences?

Slightly off topic, but do they still rent out hotel venues to have these things? I went to a couple of schools, one at a KH as a servant, and one at a hotel as an Elduh.
I remember the one at the hotel meeting space distinctly, it was right during a holiday weekend, can't remember for sure but I think it was Xmas rather than Thanksgiving. It creeped my true personality out as here were at least 300 elduhs dressed up in cheap suits on a weekend where obviously no business meeting would be taking place. I could see the weird looks that other guest were shooting toward us as a group.
No doubt they booked the space at rock bottom rates simply because there would be no other takers for a weekend right up against a holiday. Simply another bad witness that the WTBTS is too fucking stupid to recognize.

The tale of Angelo and Dan! Have you heard this one??

dan was bad, he went to prison too.
dan became a dub and studied with angelo.

Maybe its true, maybe not. As much time as they waste in prisons with a truly captive audience, there are bound to be converts.
In the end, a person has to ask themselves "What does this mean or prove to me?" For the average JW, its simply another proof that they are in da troof. For the 7 billion humans functioning outside of the walls of the b0rg, its just a silly anecdote.
Conversions to any number of religions happen every day by the thousands, if not tens of thousands. JWs are small fish in a giant ocean.

Your favourite WTS publication?
by LoveUniHateExams ini realise that starting this thread may make me as popular as a ginger stepchild but was there any wts publication that you liked, or at least comfortably tolerated?.
my memory may be deceiving me but i think the greatest man book was pretty good, leaving out the gruesome detail of the crucifixtion and wts doctrine.. also, can anyone tell me the list of books that ray franz authored/co-authored?.
thanks.

Revelation Climax at Hand wins simply because of the millions of masturbation jokes it has inspired.

Why do "Apostates/exjws" always go into "Watchtower-bashing" when you show them inconsistencies in the Bible?
by booker-t ini have noticed with "apostates/exjws" they always resort to "watchtower-bashing" whenever you show them inconsistencies of the bible.
we could be talking about contradictions, such as where did cain get his wife if adam,eve, abel, and cain were the only ones on earth?
the usual answer when they cannot answer will be "well the wt gave false prophecies in 1975".

I noticed some time ago Booker loves to start threads and never return to comment again on them. Looks like steve was able to at least squeeze one response out of him this time based on his prior comment.
