When will they merge the BS, TMS, WTS, T into one meeting ?
by mP init seems to me with all the times being cut from talks, you could save further time and simply smash all the meetings into one on the weekend.
this would also save the need for those extra kingdom hall songs, and one trip to the kh.
with all these savings, jws could easily double their ministry..

is jws really growing or only natural increases from kids.?
by mP infirstly yes we all know most jw bornins leave but a quarter give or take continue.
im going to argue that this is the only source of any increase.
those that leave are barely replaced if at all by new recruits in third world countries.

does the gb really believe or is this a game ?
by mP inim assuming we all realise the gb may be many things but the individuals are not fools.
given the changes in ideas, formulation of new light and so on, do they buy the fascade they are presenting ?
if theres anyone in there, surely they as men, know how very man made it has always been.

by mP inhttp://www.watchtower.org/e/jt/article_08.htm#only.

if you were gb what new ideas would you come up with???
by mP infirstly a few rules.. - increase in numbers primary goal.

Many Car marques are astrological/pagan/sex connection therefore JW must abandon them or walk
by mP inheres something i love to tell jw which nearly always stuns them.. nobody would buy a car called the satan, or if its logo was phallic, or was named after baal, but the facts are nearly all three of these are present in a vast majority of todays cars.
as one can examine there are a lot of things present that a good xians should avoid.
in many cases there are puns on names, but still.. toyota.

why i believe paul is a composite of numerous historical figures...
by mP infirstly im going to say paul didnt know jesus as a earthly person.
not once did he mention any fact that shows he knew about jesus being born in bethlehem, having a virgin mother, having apostles, dying for sins and so on.
the only writings where paul meats the apostles are basically in acts which many scholars argue was an attempt to merge the jesus story with that of paul.

how do jws explain other non ot jewish beliefs like kaballah, talmud?
by mP inwhy is it jws believe the old testament and yet ignore the other religious commentary and sprititual aspects available from the jewish culture.
take jesus for example, no where is he mentioned by name in the ot or in the writings of jews who lived in the first century, and still believe.. kaballah is another weird, astrotheological part of jewsish religion, magic numbers, inner soul, magic powers, astrology and so on.
how do they explain the same jewish leaders who run the jrwish religion also came up with this stuff ?.
