I don't trust the answers you will give. For a number of these questions, the JWs have their own dogmatic opinion which others Christians would disavow. The question about whether the gift of tongues is still available is unsettled in Christendom and obviously the JWs have their own unique understanding of what the lake of fire is, obviously disavowing that it is in fact hell.

Well you never know unless you give it a try unless you really don't know the answers like the gift of tongues..

Which one did you get wrong? The one I got wrong was about teachers in the US leading a class in prayer. I knew the constitution forbade mixing of church and state but imagined that those wily evangelists would have got round it on a technicality by now. Apparently, as with ID, they haven't.

I agree with your point as you made it on the other thread, unless there is some insight into the life lived, such knowledge can be superficial.

I got 12.

(Was expecting you to get at least 15 maybe more, in the light of your newfound JW doctrinal knowledge)

Wow! 15/15

I guessed Q.10 and Q.15 and only "knew" Job question because of the saying "the patience of Job" so maybe my real score is 12/15.

I think a bright 11 year-old in UK would score the same (I am a Primary School Teacher) as they learn all that stuff in RE.

Being in the UK that test was very American focused, in part,which I had to guess at, and I could have swore Nirvana was also hinduism.

However I did get 9/15 not bad for a card carrying atheist

1) Jesus.

Colossians 1:15-17
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

2) 6 days. The 7th is a rest day.

3) Possibly Naamah but not positive. Mrs Noah would be fine..Lol.

4) Canaan.

5) By complete immersion.

6) To observe the evening meal.

7) All celebrations such as the Pass Over and memorials were done yearly. This no doubt was to be done the same as Jesus did not say differently.

8) God the Father or Jehovah.

9) No. Not a Bible teaching.

10) Yes. For the 3 days he was dead. Hell, Sheohl, Haides and the grave are all the same.

11) None. He never mentioned being there after Jesus resurrected him.

12) Speaking a foreign language so they could speak to ones of other languages to teach.

13) No.

New Amplified Bible:
1 Corinthians 13:8
8 Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. As for prophecy ([a]the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away [it will lose its value and be superseded by truth].

14) Satan.

15) Simply eternal non existance.
