    yeah, that's why I couldn't give a serious answer. It would be kinda like giving my bird a chocolate bar - very bad!

    Strikes me as well. Shows the hypocrisy within the org. I don't think it is cute though or a compliment to human nature. YOU are on the ministry school, YOU choose to be, YOU make up your own damn talk. Or, I will make it up for you as long as you reference it, but then again, plagiarism isn't that big of a deal, is it. I use to make my husband's talks up for him all the time, my SIL made her husbands up, and her sons, my mother "helped" my Dad with his........... Jez

    The Jerusalem Bible

    Young's Literal Translation

    I think we learn that jesus family was not happy with the current religious system and hated hypocrisy , for one thing . Let's take a look at how the WTBTS compares to the pharisees back in jesus day ...... blah blah yadda yadda

    Setting: Witnessing to a neighbor

    HH: "I just read the book, "The DaVinci Code" It states that Jesus was married, and even had a child! Do JWs believe that?"

    JW: "Oh no, we are not allowed to entertain any other possibilities than what the society tells us."

    HH: "But Jesus had family, and how he acted could teach us alot, if taken from that perspective, it could explain why he was so loving towards woman."

    JW: "Oh no, we have not been told that that true. I would have to wait on 'Jehovah' to reveal that to us through the FDS class."

    HH: "But don't you think it is interesting how the book says that it is religion, run by man, that had to 'demonize' women, in order to take power away from them? If so, Jesus' example would mean alot of changes to how families are run, no?"

    JW: "Well, the society's publications say.."

    HH: "I know what they say, but what do others say?"

    JW: "Have I ever showed you Matt 24:14. Notice that JW are the only ones preaching this good news."

    Too many talks, what about what James said, "Slow to speak, quick to hear, slow to wrath."
