This is so true. A lot of people do think JW are harmless people and most of them think they are very moral but with some odd beliefs. Many people hardly know anything about their beliefs than the big ones like maybe holidays and blood.
Actually a number of religons talk about an armageddon and don't celebrate x-mas r they give u a hoice whether u want to celebate or not. Our pentacostal type neighbors don't beleve in tV or anything like that. so actually jw are certainly not the only screwy religions around and compared to the branch davidens and those people who committed sucide and planned to go up in spaceship-well,JW see almost ok.
I find myself trying to tell people now what jw beleived and i swear, i haven't really studied in so long i would be hard pressed to try and prove anything. also, now that i don't study-nothing makes sense anymore. Like my mom's funeral, the talk was not comforting and sounded disjointed as the speaker jumped aorund from one topic to another.
