"New" publications
by leaving_quietly inlooks like two "new" publications are available on their website.
i put "new" in quotation marks because these appear to simply be the introduction in their rnwt in one and the appendices, maps, charts, etc.
publications named "an introduction to god's word" and "a study guide for god's word".

Are the writers in the writing department purposely misquoting people?
by paulmolark inafter reading that great post about the june 1 article on science i got to thinking.
although it is great to believe there is this huge group of guys in the jw writing department that are constantly looking to mislead us by twisting the words of scientist etc... i really think it is more likely they are google researchers that do not have the ability to grasp the thoughts that are being expressed in the scientific article they quote mine from.. i honestly believe the reason that this happens is because of the individuals they use to write these magazines.
these are not college educated men.

Amd this is by no means limited to dubbie land. Its an age old newspaper ploy, the modern term being "pull quote" , to a one sentance snippet and run with it . You find snippet "A" that says what you want it to say, in context or not, and run with it knowing 99% will never verify it. -

May tv broadcast
by New day insomebody on another thread suggested that those still in could express their opinions on steven lett's performance.
i am still in and i was shocked, dismayed and saddened by it.
i became a witness over 30 yrs ago and the issue of donations was a non-issue for so many years.. now, it is a huge one for the org.

Are you suggesting that a singing contribution box would be worse than the christian rock ballad they actually did use...? Never in my life would i have ever believed the org would use such a song to beg for money. I would have been less shocked at a singing contribution box. -

That would not be the corst time i heard i heard that logic dubbie land. In samul something or other, samul tells saul that running ahead presumptuously is the same as using uncanny power. Ive heard that applied to ignoring modern day council as well -

Lett and his instruction in KMS
by JWdaughter inok, l know i am not the first to notice or likely comment on this, but as little as i respect commenting on persons, i am going to do it now.. lett seems like a charicature.
he is so strange-i cringe when i watch him speak.its as ifhe was once given advice to speak slowly and clearly and now he just talks like a cartoon.
he creeps me out.

Even if his mother was deaf i have no more respect for how he speaks. Lett himself is not and should easily understand thats not a "normal" or standard way of communicating amongst the hearing -

Yesterday's Watchtower, Bible Comments
by freemindfade inthe whole meeting for me was nauseating yesterday... the talk was on "science".. nuff said... then the watchtower, they are just spinning in circles patting themselves on the back lately it seems, but this is one thing that really stuck out to me.. i heard the comment multiple times about how the 2013 version of nwt made things "easier to understand" "simpler" and so on.
this has been one of my main beefs with yhwh and his book.
this is supposedly the tool for mankind to all live or die based on whether or not they:.

@sowhatnow- next time your mom says 'god can preserve and protect his word", please point out to her that SHE dosent believe god can protect or preserve his word eother. After all, the watchtower bible and tract society had to restore gods name in 7,000 place! If god was protecting and preserving his word such restorations would not have nessaey, would they?
