for those of you who still respect the bible, which translation/s are you using now?
why?.
without any reason for that.
The OT uses the divine name. When the NT quotes a verse from the OT that uses the divine name, it is also reasonable to conclude that the original Bible writers of the NT also used the divine name in the NT. By the same token it is also axiomatic that Jehovah is God and any verse in the Bible that implies or infers the true God is referring to Jehovah. It is also interesting that Bible translators of the OT also substitute the divine name with titles.

NWT both newer and previous versions. Magnificent!
I also use the Equipped app.
i would like to ask the ex-jws on this site to put their ‘apologists hat’ back on for a moment, so that i can go through the overlapping generation teaching in an attempt to make sense of it.
i apologise if these points have already been addressed on this site.a quick background for the reason for my request… having never confronted a jw apologist on the topic, i recently engaged with a jw regarding the official understanding of a ‘generation’ and unfortunately he didn’t have an answer to the points i was making.
i was left a little confused as to what the official jw response would/should be.so i was hoping that my thoughts below might be considered from an apologist’s perspective.the point in question relates to this section of the watchtower article below from 2008, as well as the jw.org video explanation of the overlapping generation:---:w08 2/15[box on page 25] can we calculate the length of “this generation”?the word “generation” usually refers to people of various ages whose lives overlap during a particular time period or event.

law makers in the us want to pass laws that apply the first amendment of the us constitution to social media forums such as tiktok and youtube that have banned poster for speech and content violations.. in the us, 1a usually applies unhindered to traditional public forums (such as sidewalks and parks) with restrictions only as to time place and manner..
I want to add that it could be argued that in social media sites a person needs to apply to be allowed to post, and agree to abide by terms of service, so it cannot actually be classified as a platform; you don’t need a license for example for free speech on the sidewalk.The sidewalk therefore is a platform whereas social media sites are actually publishers in that sense. But also social media sites are open to the public to watch content and listen to public views and interact with the public . So it’s not like a newspaper publishing the views of the owners. The social media sites publish the views of the general public tos or not, that’s the purpose of the service they provide, public views on things, and what the US government is saying is that social media has to be fair, they can’t discriminate when people wish to speak freely about things.

1914 is only written in the minds of Jehovah's Witnesses
Given JW 7x interpretation is incorrect —as you see it. But based on 1914, (whether you or anybody believes in 1914 or not) the “generation” not passing away scripture applies to 1914. JW 7x interpretation makes a lot of sense..

1914 is written in stone. The application of the Olivette to 1914 is written in stone. Therefore, the “this generation” scripture that applies to 1914 must be fulfilled, so that depends on the meaning of generation. It doesn’t matter that everyone alive in 1914 is dead.

Part of the fight is the question are these outlets platforms or publishers
That’s a very good point. The tension is that websites such as youtube are cyber places where the public goes to publish their content. It is not like a privately owned store where the public goes with the purpose to purchase and the property owner has authority restrict 1A on his property or a private meeting place such as church where the public is invited and 1A is also restricted, or a newspaper that publishes whatever content it likes. A newspaper is not open to the public although it could choose to publish any content submitted by someone that is not an employee. However, websites such as youtube is where members of the public go to publish views and content and that is why it might be legally classified as both a platform and a publisher. That’s just the nature of it. The website is liable for what it publishes but since it can also be viewed as a public place -that is to say a platform because members of the public go there with the purpose of disseminating speech, in the US, the law may require the site (although privately owned ) not to discriminate or deny service based on 1A standards. The principle is that since all members of the public can go to the site (it’s open to the public) with the purpose to publish their views, the owners of the site may not be legally allowed to discriminate some people because they don’t like them but need to have legal reasons not private ones.

can i ask please especially for all who are pomo?.
we've taken a decision similar to revelation 18:4 to get out of the watchtower and not share in its sins.. how many of you still believe that god will one day terminate the world's many systems by means of an armageddon?.
Yes. Reasoning from the Bible. Armageddon will come from God one day.
Based on the premise that God doesn’t exist and that the universe just exists on its own, the earth or humanity will come to an end someday caused by anything possible. Could be hit by an asteroid or something else can happen.
