Good Grief...someone has two much time on their hands...Some of this is true, but a lot is not or only 1/2 true and would depend on the circumstances.Everything we do is based on bible laws and principles. So here goes...1 - 4. Yes5. No..144,000 have been chosen since Penecost 33 C.E. , so no they are not all from modern day J.W.'s.6. (see answer to #5)7. Yes, we feel we have found the truth, but doesn't everyone of other religions feel the same? Why would we be a Witness if we didn't think it was true?8. Yes9. No. All of hope of the resurrection here on earth if they are in God's memory.10. Everlasting life is a gift from God. But to have his approval, we are told that "faith without works is dead" James 2: 26 "without faith it is impossible to please God" Heb 11:6 If someone has true faith, they will have works to go along with it. So just saying you believe in Jesus is not enough to have God's approval, you need to show him that you believe in him by how you live your life.11. Zephaniah 2:3; Ro. 6:2312. We are to Jehovah through Jesus name. John 14: 6 & 1413. Yes14. No. Going to 4 year college, living in dorm is not encouraged due to bad association.15. Yes. After Satan hurled to earth Rev. 12:1216-18 Yes. Whole world in power of wicked one. 2Cor. 4:4 1 Cor. 10:20; 1 John 5:19; Rev. 12:1219. Yes. Acts 15:20 & 29; Gen. 9:3-5; Lev. 17:11; Eph. 1:720. If someone may have to take anothers life, then they would want to question that profession.21.-22 Yes, we are neutral in political matters.23. No. This is up to an individual. They may want to question who the money is going to.24. No. No one is forced to go to a meeting. But we do want to follow the bible advice at Heb 10: 24-25"not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together as some have the custom."25. All had the opportunity to stay and awake and pay attention to the signs of the times or the lords day.26. We are advised at 1 Cor. 7:29 "marry on in the lord." Marriage is hard enough without different beliefs. It is encouraged to follow this command. 27. No. Only a baptized witness that has been disfellowshipped is shunned until they are reinstated.28. When you say Christian literature?? There are books on regarding religions that we would read.29. It is discouraged, due to the amount of time it takes away from serving Jehovah and the bad association.30-31. Yes. Due to pagan origins.32-33. Yes. We are told to be "no part of the world." John 17:1434. Not true. If a murder case, we might not want to be in a position that we would be giving the death penality.35. Not true. This is up to each ones conscience. It would depend on where the money is going. 36. True. Other than business.37. True. If at all possible, we do not accept.38. We are encouraged to read the the bible daily. Even in Brooklyn it is on the Watchtower building to "read the bible daily".39. Many understand portions, but do they all accurate knowledge? John 17:340. Jehovah directs his people by means of his holy spirit.41. True.42. True. Why would we were a cross if we don't feel Jesus died on a cross.43. This is to make sure preaching work is getting done. Matt 24:1444. No. If we can, it's good. But many can't due to work45. Not true. We always want to remember 1 Cor. 15:33"Bad association, spoils useful habits." Limit association with those of different faiths.46. Not true. I call most by first name, unless they are older, then out of respect I call them brother or sister..47. What??? Not true.48. Not true. They are bible study aids used to dispense information. But they are more knowledgable and spend their life studying the bible. 49. Not true. I know of cases that have been reported. My father was on one back in the early 80's that was reported to the police.50. Not true...Most conventions are only three days. Most people are off on the weekend. So it's not a big inconvenience to get one day off. And in most cases, they are within driving distance.51. No true. If someone is going to pioneer, they would want to consider a bigger car, but it's still their decision.52. I believe that would depend on where you live. If it's extremely cold. The brothers may have a beard. It's how they are viewed in your region of the world.53. Yes. 1 Cor. 11: 14 "man has long hair, it is a dishonor."54. Yes. This shows proper respect for headship arrangement.55. This would be a conscience matter. How will it be looked upon and would you stumble someone. Lev. 19:2856. Yes. Harmful to the body. Our bodies are a gift from God and should be treated with respect. Rom. 12:1-257. No. Heb 13:458. It is not "secret" but confidential. If someone is practicing something scriptural wrong, they will met with them to see if they can reason with them and see if they are a harm to the congregation.59. This would be a conscience matter.60. Why would we want to?61. Animals are not under the law to abstain from blood. They eat other animals. If someone is a pet owner and it bothers their conscience, then they should not go against their conscience.62. Clubs?? Many are members of Gyms. Sports would be the same as cheerleading. It's the time it takes up (many practice every night M-F and many games on on meeting nights.) Then the bad association. 63. What? With any jewelry, I would think it has to do with what design it is, more than the type of jewel. Jehovah created the stones.64. If it is just a scriptural quote and not conflicting with our beliefs, then it is up to each ones conscience. Most don't listen to gospel music. It would depend if the song is in conflict with our beliefs. 65. What's christian jewelry? Cross? No we would not wear a cross as stated earlier or any symbol for anything that could be considered idoltry. Ex. 20:4& 566. Not true. Many have windows. Some don't even have glass in the windows in hot countries such as Africa.67. No. If you see someone doing something that is of a serious nature. Drugs, etc. you would speak to them first and encourage them to get help from the elders. If after some time they do not, then you would speak to the elders so as not to be a sharer in their sins and to keep the congregation clean. Or if it is a minor, you would speak to their parents. 68. He did have a choice.69. He paid for our sins at his death.70. No. They are not foretelling prophecies, but with the help of Jehovah's spirit, they are staying away to understand the prophecies and how they are being fulfilled.71. Husband is the head of the wife. 1 Pet. 3:1; Eph 5: 22 & 2372. We pay our taxes in whatever country we live in. We do not get involved with politics or military. Mark 12:17; John 17:1473. Before becoming a baptized Witness, must study the bible with the help of bible study aid. Need to have a basic knowledge of what we believe.74. Not true. It's usually three different elders will split up the questions and do them individually. This is to make sure they are ready and they do have a basic knowledge of what we believe.75. It applies to the whole world. The wild beast, the harlot, Babylon the Great, 144,000, great crowd.76. No. We should honor our parents everyday. Worship of the mother would also stem from worship of Mary, which stems from paganizm.77. Not true. Many have benches. Many Kingdom Halls were once in buildings that had been a prior church. Pews aren't very comfortable, especially for older ones.78. Yes. Satan is the god of Good Luck. Is 65:11 79-80 Not true. Jehovah is both those things.81. They are the "faithful and discreet slave" providing"food at the proper time." Matt. 24: 4582. Not true.

Just as the passover was once a year.85. Not true. My mother saw a shrink back in the late 60's due to lossing both her parents as a preteen, living with relatives..she had some issues to work out. It's not always the answer, but can help some. It did not help my mom. The shrink told her to have an affair???? Thankfully, she didn't.86. True.87. Not true. Our loyality is first and foremost with Jehovah.88. As a man, Jesus was equal to Adam in that he was perfect. The only other man to ever be perfect. Of Jesus is far superior as King of God's Kingdom. Adam no longer exists.89. Not true. Satan will be let loose after 1000's years for a final judging of perfect man. Rev. 20:7-1090. That is up to Jehovah. Ro. 6:23 "wages of sin is death."91. Not true. Prayers heard if pray the way we are told to pray. Ps65:2; Acts 10:34,35; Luke 11:2; John 14:6, 14; 1 John 5:14; 1 Pet 3:12; 1 John 3:22; Is 55:6&7; Why they wouldn't be heard: Matt 6:5 & 7; Pro. 28:9; Mic 3:4; Jas 4:3; Is 42:8; Is 8:19; James 1: 6 & 792.
