  Thank's for that Ozzie. I heard some of it but got distracted.

  I don't think I could be quite that forgiving.

  We'll probably hear a lot more about it in the next few days.

  How can I get the New World (english) Translation?

  by TioPato in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'd like to know if it were possible to find the new world (english) translation on the web?

  i'm french and i only possess the french translation, both editions 1987 & 1995 (actually the french translation is not very good...).

  i heard that some copies formatted for e-sword were available somewhere on the web.

  Try writing to the WBTS, they may send you one, or get someone to bring it around for you, when they offer a bible study just say "no thanks" and shut the door.

  You should have very loudly said: "How many times do I have to tell you, I am not gay and no I will not be your gay lover!"

  I wanna go shopping with elsewhere and follow all the JDUBS around. LOL

  My response would have been "and", and then just left it up to them.

  Elder arrested for beating daughter

  by ezekiel3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  elder david nesler was arrested in jackson california for striking his teen-age daughter (also a jw) in front of a high school.

  he is currently released and an active jw member who is allowed to participate in meetings, although his status as an elder is unknown.. this was not alleged to be sexual abuse, but it does certainly call into question the discretion of this elder.

  if this is what he does in public...?.

  Poor kid, imagine how humiliated she would have felt, her dad hitting her in front of all her friends at school.

  does anyone know how to microwave eggs?.

  i tried looking it up on the internet but without luck.

  i've been told you can pierce a hole in the shell so they don't explode, but even so, i wouldn't know how long to cook them for.

  Instructions on how to cook an egg in the microwave:

  Pierce hole in top and bottom of egg, make sure you pierce to membrane.

  Place egg in a microwave proof dish.

  Cook on high for 3 minutes.

  Stand and watch egg turn on turntable.

  Wait for it to explode.

  Open mocrowave door, clean up mess.

  Get saucepan out of cupboard...............

  I've never been able to do it, i find it just a easy to do it in a saucepan, I just boil the water in the jug/kettle first to make it faster.

  what is the difference between the Watch Tower and the Awake magazines? If I were to get my hand on the CD I hear people refer to, does that contain all of the JW publications where I could research things from home?

  The watchtower deals mostly with biblical stuff and prophecies, it also contains study articles that are studied at JW meetings. The awake deals with more current events and human interest stories.

  As far as the CD goes, you would need to be reall friendly with some one who still goes to the meetings to get you one, and witnesses are told not to give them to non witnesses. They contain all witness material publishes after a certain date. The CD is usually updated every few years to accomodate mew publucations.

  lost and alone

  by black ghost in

  2. friends

  i was raised a j.w.

  for 20+ years and slid out of the back door in 1998(no-one noticed me slide) and when i went out into the big bad world i found i was completely naive and clueless as i had lived in a tiny shell all my life, for example i had never met a gay person and i believed every non member was evil and out to get me.. has anyone any similar experiences?how did you get the past out of your mind and move on?

  do you still feel disadvantaged or do you think you benefited in any way?.
