I should've cheated like brinjen did
I didn't cheat.
I ran the test again, this time skipping the vehicle question (not owning one), got 3%. I guess this is the reason why they haven't called on any house I've lived in since I left my home town nearly 8 years ago. They know there's no hope for me.
I got 43%! WTF!?
Apart from Mary, I guess I win so far.
So a JW is half agnostic??
The vehicle question sucked.
I agree. Mine has 4 doors. It messed up my score. 27%
Hang on, it wasn't 3%, it was -3%.
| How do you view the Bible? | |
| The Bible is bunk | |
| This is not good. The Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Bible is fully-inspired of God. They believe that "the" Bible is the collection of 66 books found in the King James version, though they also feel that their own unique translation is the best one available. If you can't accept Noah's Ark, people conversing with donkeys, and people being executed for lying about real estate transactions, then JW's probably aren't for you. | |
| What is the most important quality you look for in a church leader? | |
| Honesty, Integrity | |
| You might not fit in so well at a Kingdom Hall. Jehovah's Witnesses choose their leaders based first on quantities of service, then qualities listed in the Bible. Honest men of integrity that don't spend enough time in the door-to-door preaching work, or don't show up for all of the five weekly meetings will not become leaders among Jehovah's Witnesses. | |
| How often do you feel like attending church? | |
| Never, probably less | |
| This would be a problem. Jehovah's Witnesses have five mandatory meetings a week, usually combined into three days. If you regularly miss any of them, you would be viewed as "weak". You wouldn't have many friends, since none of them would want you to drag them down. | |
| How much of your time do you spend in recreational/family activities? | |
| 50% | |
| Yeah, you're going to want to cut this way back. Between meetings, preparing for meetings, studying Watchtower books with your family, preaching to your neighbors, cleaning the Kingdom Hall, reading magazines, reading the new books released each year, and reading the "Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses", you're not going to have time for these recreational things. Maybe your spouse could drive to the meetings, and you could take up macrame? | |
| What kind of vehicle do you drive? | |
| How do you feel about people controlling who your friends are? | |
| It's none of their business | |
| Among Jehovah's Witnesses there is very little that is 'none of their business'. This would be considered an attitude problem that you would need to work out of yourself as you 'put on the new personality'. Before you could be accepted among Jehovah's Witnesses, you would need to be willing to let them control who you associate with, what movies you see, what books you read, and even what sorts of intimacy you enjoy with your spouse. | |
| How important are your family members to you? (Mother, brothers, cousins) | |
| Very important | |
| This could be a problem. If your family members are not Jehovah's Witnesses, you will be discouraged from spending much time with them. If you do spend time with them, you'll be expected to preach to them about your new faith as much as possible. If they are currently Jehovah's Witnesses, then you may be in for trouble if you ever decide the Kingdom Hall is not for you. If you join, then leave, they will not be allowed to speak to you ever again. | |
| How important is it to you to have the respect of your community? | |
| Very important, I work on my reputation | |
| Your reputation will likely take a hit if you become one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Charity giving and volunteer community work is discouraged, as it impinges on time spent in the door-to-door ministry and money that could be donated to the Watchtower. While they encourage good morals, you probably have those already. So you will appear to become more reclusive, less approachable, and your constant preaching about Jehovah's Kingdom will cause people to avoid you. The Kingdom Hall may not be the place for you. | |
| You view holidays as opportunities to: | |
| Reunite with old friends and family | |
| Jehovah's Witnesses view all holidays as inherently bad. There are different objections to different holidays, but in the end they are all considered inappropriate. Since Jehovah's Witnesses will discourage you from spending time with your relatives anyway, they will certainly not accept you spending holidays with them. If this is truly important to you, then the Kingdom Hall is not going to work. | |
| If all your friends stopped talking to you because you changed churches, you would think: | |
| "What is wrong with them? I can believe anything I want." | |
| Jehovah's Witnesses join for life. If they ever decide to quit being Jehovah's Witnesses, all their friends that formerly called them "brother" or "sister" will instead refuse to speak to them at all, not even a civil greeting. If you prefer to reserve the right to yourself to choose your own beliefs without fear of being shunned by your friends, you should not become one of Jehovah's Witnesses. | |
apparently i am 20%
| How do you view the Bible? | |
| God probably likes it | |
| This is not good. The Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Bible is fully-inspired of God. They believe that "the" Bible is the collection of 66 books found in the King James version, though they also feel that their own unique translation is the best one available. If you can't accept Noah's Ark, people conversing with donkeys, and people being executed for lying about real estate transactions, then JW's probably aren't for you. |
23% Jehovah's Witness. Eww, it should be none...
30%!!!???? You have got to be kidding me! I think they counted me "in" because I considered holidays to be pagan... but... I still celebrate them as such, that ought to count for something!
I like this results of this next quiz far, far better... I was ZERO percent JW in this one!!!!
