 Just be aware that the Jehovah's Witnesses have a different interpretation of the Bible than just about everyone else. They believe that only 144,000 people can get to heaven or something like that. Makes you wonder why they even bother.

I suggest you don't make too quick a judgement on the Bible. Like any book, it needs to be taken in context. There are many different books in the Bible with many different genres, including histories, proverbs, hymns, allegories, prophetical works, apocalyptic works, letters, love poems, etc. so don't take everything literally, because not everything in it should be read as literal.

 Thanks. And I don't have any sort of bias against any religion or anything. When I study a faith I keep an open mind and make my own judgments based on what I'm reading.
