Was Judas Worthy to Partake?
by Tower Man inthe wt, 2-1-02 says on p. 15, that only after judas was gone did jesus institute the memorial of his death.
after researching all 4 gospel accounts, this is simply not true.
luke 22:21 makes it very clear that judas was, in fact, present and active in partaking of the bread and wine.

"You Know" invited to The Last Supper
by Atreyu insorry for late response.
this is a commentary to a reply from you know, regarding the meaning of the last supper.
by using covenant in both verses, the nwt is thereby giving the impression that the covenant of the blood (v20) is the same thing as the appointment of the kingdom to the disciples (v29).. the greek word for covenant in v20 is diatheke.

Online Bibles
by JosephAlward ini believe there are many on this forum who are not aware of the many online bibles from which they could almost effortless copy verses to paste into their arguments.
when one refers to a particular verse in a particular book, few readers have the patience to go seach through the whole book.. the online source i use is called "bible gateway.
" it provides several different versions of the bible, and offers word search, which is an indispensible tool for those who take their bible research seriously.. bible gateway is at http://bible.gospelcom.net/.

What do you think will happen when all the FDS die
by termite 35 ini'm not planning anything..... but when they all pop off, what are the rest going to do?they think the ns will come before they all die, so how the heck will they cope with it ,scriptually speaking/ surely cause a few to 'desert'?
there was a thread a few days ago about elders being up graded to fds status by some out of context crappily applied scripture;do you think they'll explain the absence of god's action with' the fds is still here!.
or will they work everyone up into a horribly humiliating fever pitch of protelisizing ,the like of which we have yet to see?

Response to RWC's Atheist Questions
by Liberty inhi rwc,.
i'm sure you're a very nice person and i don't want to get into an argument but rather a civil debate.
i just wanted to point out that as ex-jws many of us are a little obsessed with truth (not to be confused with "the truth" tm) and that after being burned by the watchtower society and hating ourselves for being so stupid to have fallen for its bs we have now become highly skeptical of the bible as well.

New WTS Ministry Textbook
by artful ingreetings.. since this is my first post to this board, i would like to submit some interesting information from a new watchtower society (wts) ministry textbook.
this new publication is to replace the existing "school guidebook" and is to be used by all jws starting in 2003. .
please excuse me if this information has already been posted elsewhere on the board but i think that an interesting discussion is to be had here.
