I don't think the JWs have problems with transubstantiation, as they split off from more mainstream Protestants who just don't believe in it.

Their chief problem is that all the other churches are Babylonian - proved by vestments, candles, festivals, altars, you name it. I didn't want to start an argument this morning, so I did not point out that Quakers don't have any of these things.

We had a school caretaker in the organisation once, and he gave me a load of old magazines. I also had one of their Bibles, and a children's Bible story book from a charity shop, for forestalling anything difficult. Interesting reads. Jesus was killed on a stake, not a cross, which they link with that peculiar Exodus episode of a snake on a stick.
