Kid has Xbox stolen, police buy him a new one
by Simon init's easy to get down and disheartened about depressing world events.. it's important to remember that the good guys outnumber the bad guys, they just don't make the headlines as often.. so here's a nice story:.
on sunday, 11-year-old tontrevion campbell went to church with his mom.. at the same time, police say, burglars entered his home and broke one of the commandments.. as the memphis police department describes it on its facebook page: "the thief or thieves stole several of his mom's items, but they also stole the young man's xbox game system and every single game that this 11-year-old owned.".
there are quite a few adults who'd be upset.

The Ages Of The Biblical Patriarchs
by JW_Rogue inso i've been reading the imitate their faith book (because my wife wants to) and keep coming upon these ridiculous ages for the bible patriarchs.
now i know wt takes everything literally but there has got to be some explanation that makes more sense.
why would the bible writers create these obviously false ages?

Did you know that the ages are completely different in the Septuagint than in the Masoretic text?
If you add up all of the patriarch's ages, in the Septuagint you end up with almost 2000 years extra!!

Spanish defenders of the Watchtower? (Or other languages!)
by slimboyfat inare there any unofficial watchtower defenders publishing in spanish?
i'm doing a survey and i think i've got most of those writing in english covered.
then there's gerard gertoux and a few others in french, furuli from norway, matteo pierro in italian, johannes wrobel and others in german.

As Hilde said, Testigo Humano. I know he visits this site... it's fairly obvious since things that are originally only on this site "somehow" end up on his.
He runs a website called "Replies to Professional Apostasy".
Not really a scholar, just really bad attempts at defending the WT. Very easy to disprove.
Unlike Furulli or Stafford, which, it seems like they actually have a good defense.
I know of no one else really in the Spanish side of things.
As to your question, MOST DEFINITELY, Spanish is THE largest language in the JW world. In fact, Spanish speaking JW's outnumber English speaking ones almost 2 to 1. -

JW.Org new video
by LevelThePlayingField inthis is a new video put out by the borg.
i have nothing to say negative about it actually.
it's only 2:34 minutes long and helps you learn the books of the bible and the basic contents of them and is done very well.

You're kidding right?
I'd rather have my kids memorize actually useful things... instead of the names of "books" of a very disgusting book once you actually read it. That book has led to so many people being killed, manipulated, beaten, etc...

Unfortunately, I made the terrible mistake of not documenting the sources... they were in newspaper archives from my university. -

Corpus Linguistics - Text Analysis of All Watchtower Publications since 1800's
by objectivetruth ini've been working on a side project for a while.
the goal of the project is to create a comprehensive database of all publications throughout history.
with this database i will be able to instantly find trends in text,sentiment of writing, methods used, and scriptures emphasized.. essentially i will be able to put a word like "apostate" into my tool, and instantly receive a report showing every time the word (or similar words) has been used in all publications since 1870.. i will also be able to create reports showing word density used in publications over time.. so i'll be able to see that the word "governing body" has increased in usage 25% year over year since 1975.. or i will be able to analyze the november 2014 wt and run an algorithm that helps to determine, what the tone and motive of the writing is.. the thing that i am most excited about is the ability to instantly find every occurence of a scripture in every publication.. this will be a great tool to find flip flops in doctrine as well as inaccuracies in biblical interpretation.. i will for sure publish all interesting findings here.. .
