Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

I think JW are not allowed to use the internet.
Thus even if one of us is a JW, he will not admit it.
Any argument based on "the bible says so" is a logical fallacy, but that's all you ever hear. Jesus says this, the bible says that.
They have another bible, ours is corupted
They guys / gals that ring your bell most of the time know only the most common answers to the most common questions. You can confuse them by asking more complex questions. They will be confused, go away, and next week a JW from a higher degree will ring your bell.

we have a cute place in the city where I live where more people are saying the same, I'm sure you'll be very welcome there! There are nice people in white coats! It's cool, check it out!
BONUS: you will never ever have to finish your essay!

That reminds me that today 2 JW tried to address me by ringing the door bell. Well, of course I didn't open, but they seem to be regulars. When I'm at home, I usually open the door and take their damn leaflets (usually just Watch Tower), but occasionally even read partially those publications as they're so hilarious with that brainwashing propaganda. Anyway; I'm not a Jehovah's witness, but one of my second cousins is, so I know that not all of them are complete psychos. So far I haven't noticed any difference when it comes to her.

There was one of their halls in my old home town, on a sharp bend at the foot of a steep hill. Any driver with brake failure would have entered it at about 50 mph. No sane person would have put a building there at all. I guess they thought they were under God's protection.
I haven't checked lately to see if it's still there.Comment

Wow! But I could never live amongst so many imposters. After all I did die for their sins.Originally posted by CyberShy

What I dislike the most about JW is that they wish everyone else dead so they can possess the entire Earth.Comment

If you love them that much, that you even die for their sins, I'm sure you would be happy to go down to their place and live among them. A true Jesus would really do that.Formerly known as "CyberShy"

They accept that people will die. They don't wish for it to happen, and many put in quite a few volunteer hours to warn people.Originally posted by Lord Merciless

Re: Is anyone here a Jehovah's Witness?
I studied with them for a while. I could help you with matters of doctrine and history. However, I never joined.Originally posted by The Emperor Fabulous
I'm doing an ethnography paper for my Anthro class on JWs, and I need to start a dialogue with someone. If anyone is, or can point me in the direction of one, that'd be great.Comment

They are warned, and you could even call it discouraged, but not forbidden.Originally posted by CyberShy

They have the same Bible, and have made a translation that they feel better reflects the doctrine of the original texts. They use many translations besides their own.Any argument based on "the bible says so" is a logical fallacy, but that's all you ever hear. Jesus says this, the bible says that.

Often, more experience and knowledge will mean a "higher degree", but not always. The will bring/send someone more knowledgable and experienced, if they feel the questioning is sincere as opposed to hostile.They guys / gals that ring your bell most of the time know only the most common answers to the most common questions.
