SMURFS: Do all JWs think they're evil?
by sonnyboy ini'm wondering if there are any urban legends passed around at your former (or current) hall, like the one we had about smurfs.
an elder told us that smurfs were created by satan worshipers and were evil.
he then told us about a young girl who brought a plush smurf doll to service at a local hall.

Why are the Old and New Testaments in the same book?
by sonnyboy ini'm not sure why christians study and quote from both the old and new testaments.
it's my understanding that the ot applies only to hebrews.
in the nt, jesus supposedly created a new covenant, so many of the old laws don't apply.. the old and new testaments seem to represent two distinct religions.

Question for agnostics and/or atheists
by sonnyboy ini've just recently declared my agnosticism to myself and to one other person in my life.
i don't necessarily consider myself an atheist because i believe there very well may be some higher power or non carbon based entities in existence with 'godlike' abilities.
my question is, do you still find yourself secretly believing in god?

Did you ever celebrate Christmas, and do you miss it?
by sonnyboy ini see so many people on this board who are angry over what the witnesses took from them.
i often feel the same way, so i try to do something anti-jw every year, which seems to help.
do you know what i'm going to do this year?

Field service horror/humor stories.
by sonnyboy inthis has probably been done before, but has anyone had any scary or funny things happen to them during field service?
i used to go door-to-door with the most obnoxious elder in the world.
if we approached a house, saw signs of life, but they didn't answer the door, he'd actually go around and knock on their windows!

Do JWs ever use their donations/WT profits to help the less-fortunate?
by sonnyboy ini was a jw for a number of years as a kid, but i don't remember them doing anything to help the community.
many churches in my area have soup kitchens, clothing/toy drives, and other services to help people in need.
do jehovah's witnesses ever use proceeds in this way, or are they all used to make more watchtowers, books, and kingdom halls?

Does Jehovah protect his "people"?
by sonnyboy inan an exjw, i'm well aware of the fact that they arrogantly think they're god's only chosen people.. my family used to be frequently visited by an elder and his family.
my family strayed from "the truth", and they would constantly come to our home and try to get us back on the "straight and narrow" path.. so, what happened to this elder and his family?
their adult daughter was accused of having sexual relations with a 13 year old boy.
