  Altered Scriptures?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my spies tell me that the jobos recently had a broadcast where 2 scriptures have been changed.. luke 22.26you, though, are not to be that way.

  but let the one who is the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the one taking the lead as the one ministering.. 1 tim 3:1this statement is trustworthy: if a man is reaching out to be an overseer,+ he is desirous of a fine work.

  i don't have the tech to locate the broadcast right now.

  Didn't Luke 22:26 use to say "... let the one who is greatest among you become as the least.."

  Now it's the "youngest" - encouraging younger men to reach out, possibly?

  Or maybe the GB don't want to be seen as the "least."

  Were your English WT publications in the American "dialect"?

  by compound complex in

  greetings, friends:.

  the opening query is presented, loosely, in the past tense, assuming that you are not currently a reader of watchtower publications.. not that i'm already rather certain of your reply, it's just that i would like to know if in your english-speaking country (or esl [english as second language]) the society deigned to tailor the publications to your spellings, expressions, idiomatic renderings, etc.

  as you will read below, so-called american english is a dialect of english.. i found this online under american english vs. british english:.

  They also said "miilions now living will never die" history shows they have no shame with going back on things they have arrogantly pronounced.

  This is 2017 if you are going to survive as a religion/business you need to be comfortable appealing for money.

  If challenged on it the GB would just spin it like times have changed and now we need "a food pouch and money purse" scriptural basis blah blah.

  "exjws" and money making Ponzi schemes.

  ok i want to pose a question to those who care to discuss this.. imagine a scenario.

  you hear of a exjw writing a book, however, before writing this book this exjw is requesting money to publish said book.

  you go along with it and help to get this book out to the public as you think that it will be beneficial.

  my jw wife, like all of us, was saddened by the senseless killings in nevada.

  she said, "the shootings just shows how much we need god's kingdom.

  " i replied, "yes if it was armageddon, jehovah wouldn't have left any survivors.

  What about the athiests that died is that sad too? What about the country music fans?

  I can not understand the need to break it down into individual religions as if their death is more sad than anyone elses.

  They just want to make sure everyone knows how they can give their money to the golden calf website now, just in case there (heaven forbid) comes a day when there is no conveniently located KH to attend.

  Just covering their digital bases that's all.

  interesting to read his backstory.

  a little sad that they refer to his first marriage as "guy married a woman with 2 children".

  "He experienced a divorce" translates as "through no fault of our dear righteous Brother."

  So "snugglebunny" 😉 was your prison name and doubled as your swinger name also.

  Cool. Hey man, to each his own.
