  Magadan

  by molybdenum in

  it seems that g. jackson got confused during his presentation relating to jesus and his going to magadan.

  ( check out lloyd evans "magadangate") but the jw community seems very hesitant and quiet on this apparent "faux pas".

  has anyone had any feedback from jw's that you know on this or are they just sweeping it under the carpet as being nothing of particular note?.

  Speaking of minor mistakes, Lloyd Evans says the GB is "exposing themselves in full HD", while JW Broadcasting maxes out at 720p.

  Looking Back Were There Any “Apostates” In Your Congregation?

  i remember knowing some jws that expressed their own personal viewpoints regarding what a scripture meant that was at odds with society teachings.

  in the 60 and 70’s, that was pretty much tolerated until the great purge in 1979 and 1980. as a matter of fact, it wasn’t unusual for witnesses to get together and discuss personal questions and viewpoints they might have.

  it wasn’t unusual to send letters to the society asking what was considered the right or wrong view.

  Amazing that they sought you out when you weren’t associated for years!

  Like impeaching a former president 🤣

  “Do not gaze about!”

  so many changes in the 2013 nwt seem needless and spoil familiar phrases.

  take isaiah 41:10 in the nwt classic rendering:.

  do not be afraid, for i am with you.

  This one is relatively harmless, but what it implies isn't: It sets the precident that if they think a scripture means a certain thing, they'll have no problem taking liberties, and they have many times.

  Zechariah 5:9,10:

  Then I looked up and saw two women coming forward, and they were soaring in the wind. They had wings like the wings of a stork. And they lifted up the container between the earth and heaven. So I asked the angel who was speaking with me: “Where are they taking the eʹphah container?”

  Why is it now that all the angels and 144,000 anointed are white haired men in their 60's ?

  The JW answer would be that all angels in the Bible are depicted as men (PS, they aren't), and that white hair signifies age and wisdom.

  HOWEVER, there's absolutely no reason, Biblical or otherwise, to make them all caucasian.

  I don't remember the Bible saying anything about a bunch of vindictive guys from New York getting raised to glory and then immediately turning around to wreak havoc on the population.

  What’s Your Opinion of Companies That Decide To Stop Doing Business With You Because of Politics?

  i think it’s terrible.

  if someone wants to believe in a political party they should not be punished or censured because of who they like or what their politics are, right or left.

  The free market takes care of things like that. One long-time business in my region tried banning republicans, and were out of business within the year. Doesn't work as well with big tech unfortunately as they have more of a monopoly.
