"Casting Lots", How Was It Considered Acceptable?
by JW_Rogue inthe jws strongly condemn any form of gambling or decision making that invokes luck or divination.
however, no where in the bible is the "casting of lots" which basically amounted to gambling specifically condemned.

Suspicious Attitude Toward Married Brothers...
by JW_Rogue inthis is kind of different but i just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this.

it's like the elders can be friendly with everyone in the hall including younger sisters.

How would the world be different if there were no JWs?
by JW_Rogue ini think this would be a great question to ask active jws.
they love to say how the world would be so different if everyone was a jw.
however, what if we flip the question and ask, would the world really be much different if the jw faith never came into existence?

during one of the talks friday on shunning he said "can you imagine if apostates were allowed to stay in the congregations?
