  That reminds me. Do JWs depict Jesus in their skits? If so, does he sport a beard?
  

  In the dramas? They did in 2015 and yes, he did.

  ...one question about anything and get a straight answer, what would it be?

  historical, philosophical, theological, eschatological, anything.

  Me: "So hey, I read in a Kiyosaki book once that Ray Kroc told a bunch of people that McDonald's is not in the business of burgers at all but is really in the real estate business. Totally unrelated, so how's the real estate business?"

  JW Ideal candidates for Life Insurance?

  i am not a jehovah's witness, although i do respect your religion entirely.

  i am 27 years old, and live in minnesota.

  i have an older cousin, who's mother (not with my uncle -separated when my cousin was a baby) had been a witness, grew up in your word, and about 12 years ago she fully converted.

  You'd talk to the families, and have something to show them at their own convenience. If they're interested, they're interested, but it won't be held in any Kingdom Hall. JWs are told not conduct or solicit business there, even in the parking lot.

  I really want to get all of this in presentation form, and present it to someone at the Kingdom Hall here in town if it is something the community thinks is a just cause. I know there is stipulations about giving a presentation as a women, but maybe just the information would be helpful.
  

  Regardless of your gender, I will tell you that this commercial presentation isn't going to happen at a kingdom hall. Many here are also ex-JWs as well.

  Good luck on your endeavors, hope all goes well for you.

  Numbers 31:17 and 18

  now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.

  but all the women children that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.. *sigh*.

  it's not that i haven't seen this passage before.

  It's not that I haven't seen this passage before. Of course not. It's not that I didn't know how terrible and regrettable it is. I did.

  I just happened to look it up on WOL and see what Insight on the Scriptures says on the subject.

  In the battle with Midian, the Israelites preserved alive only virgins from among the women and girls. (Nu 31:3, 18, 35) The Law allowed for the taking of a wife from among such parentless female war captives. (De 21:10-14)
  

  The law allowed for the taking of a wife from parentless female war captives... After killing their families? The girl's mother, father, brother... All dead. How old is the girl? She could be a preteen. Maybe younger. She might even get killed if they thought she wasn't a virgin. (And how would they know?)

  I am sorry, how is this a perfect law again? And how does Insight on the Scriptures so tersely and heartlessly breeze right over this? How do you write that and not immediately know it's wrong?

  Sure but the target audience of JWB is probably not going to check that.

  Is B-Rock still a JW? It'd be hilarious if he went on there.

  that's a comment i heard from an elder i haven't seen in over a decade, yesterday.

  i mentioned it all on my other thread.

  i responded that i knew of no one that was crawling back to the meetings and gave him an incredulous hearty chuckle.

  You say it like the rank and file don't want to be kept in the dark.
