I think Helge Kåre Fauskanger has pretty much nailed it. 👍
I think one thing not mentioned is the preaching work: JWs must do this.

WHAT DO Jehovah's Witnesses believe?
by Vanderhoven7 inplease add or correct the following written by helge kare fauskanger.
"for starters, imagine a distinctly insular form of protestant fundamentalism minus the trinity (god and jesus are held to be separate beings, and the holy spirit is god's active power rather than a person).
note: since the witnesses want to think of their faith as something absolutely unique, they themselves will not agree that they are either protestant or fundamentalist.. * very important to call god by his proper name of jehovah, and as noted, you must not get him mixed up with jesus.

My favourite female protagonists: Jackie Brown
by LoveUniHateExams ini've already spoken about how big film studios have given us shitty female protagonists such as rey and she-hulk and the like.
and i've also posted stuff about the female protagonists i like.. so, i think it would be good if i devoted an op to each female protagonist that i think is great.. first up, jackie brown, played by pam grier in jackie brown (1997), directed by quentin tarantino.. jackie brown is an ordinary flight stewardess who finds herself caught up between drug smuggler ordell robie and the fbi.. it's a great film.. https://youtu.be/aixayclox7q.

Just read that Carl Olof Jonsson died yesterday
by slimboyfat infor newbies, who was carl olof jonsson?
he was a jw in sweden who was challenged by a householder in the 1960s, who pointed out to him that secular history books don’t agree with watchtower that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, but instead place the event 20 years later.
the reason the date is important is because it is the starting date for jw chronology which leads to 1914 as the end of the gentile times, and the beginning of the last days, as jws understand it.

RIP Carl Olof Jonsson.
Seems like he was an intellectually honest guy. Too good for the WTS.

Some thoughts on Faroese
by LoveUniHateExams ini mentioned using faroese as a basis for a pw in answer to fatfreek's op.. so, i got curious about the language and dug further on youtube, looking at a few faroese language channels*.. here's what i found out .... faroese is kinda between icelandic and nynorsk (one of the two norwegian standard languages) in many ways.
which is neat, considering the islands are geographically between iceland and norway.. the way it's written emphasises its connection to old norse, and makes the language look like icelandic.. icelandic has a letter for the voiced sound 'th', as in this.
the letter is called edh and looks like this: ð. but in faroese, it doesn't have a sound of its own.

@Phizzy - I remember watching a lady speak in her dialect on YT - it might have been Orkney or Shetland.
Those islands used to have their own language, Norn. Indeed, Shetland was ruled by Norway until the mid-fifteenth century, from what I remember. And Norn has influenced Shetlandic and Orcadian speech.
And you're right about different languages and dialects forming because of natural barriers. Apparently, Faroese has a number of dialects, and I suppose it's no coincidence that there are 18 inhabited islands in the Faroe Islands. I don't think Icelandic varies much in terms of dialects.
