2013 NWT - Conveniently Circular
by theunbeliever inthis is my first post.
as i am currently disfellowshipped, i have no one else to discuss these things with.
even if i was actively associated with the dubs, i suppose i'd still have no one else to discuss this with.

What first sealed the deal for me was the removal of the square brackets [ ] around the added word "other" in Colossians 1 (2013 edition). (At least in the past [pre-2013], they told the reader that they added the word. Now, they try to make it appear as original Greek.)

Lost and Sad, Then He Found Me...
by Sorry inwell, i got myself in a dilemma.
i'm currently 18, being baptised for a year.
i had my doubts, but due to a variety of reasons (getting subtle flack for not baptised, not having a support system even if i wanted to leave).

They have some truths but want to control ever area of your life.
I did feel freedom when I quit. I LOVED every moment of it. Now here I am wondering what has happened to me. I feel sooooo lonely. I think the Jws know something I dont know, I am not one of them. I just cant seem to conform and have a rigid view of everything and everyone.Why we're messed up:

It's like any business.
It's been running a deficit for years, although they are asset-rich, their income has plonked.
Time to right the ship with professional bean-counters, instead of seniority-hacks.
(Just for comparison in Canada - have you heard of The Bay, Eatons, and Sears? The same product at each store would be priced at $19, $18, and $17. respectively. The Bay has been trying to adapt, Eatons has disappeared, and Sears is, well, Sears is, for now.)
The 21st-century and the internet have brought competition to the after-life business.

The blood vessels feeding it are bringing one-fifth of her blood volume to it every minute, and new blood vessels have formed in every direction, following no solid anatomical rules, because the pregnancy has strongly requested them since the day it set up shop. During the surgery, you clamp and tie off arteries that are the size of your pinky finger and sometimes your thumb; they bleed, you clamp and tie them again.
Wow, you would bleed out in just a few minutes.

So it was claimed that the resolution issued by the meeting at Jerusalem was issued by the Holy Spirit (Acts 15), yet................
by deegee inaccording to acts 15, the meeting at jerusalem boldly declared that god's holy spirit issued a formal resolution counselling christians to "abstain from meats offered to idols and from blood, and from things strangled, and from formication", yet in 1 corinthians chapters 8 &10 paul set the holy spirit-issued resolution of the jerusalem meeting regarding the eating of meat sacrificed to idols aside:.
"concerning the eating of food offered to idols … some, because of their former association with the idol, eat food as something sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
but food will not bring us nearer to god; we are no worse off if we do not eat, nor better off if we eat.
