a normal person, upon hearing that a new (or revised) bible translation has been released, would have 2 questions spring to mind almost immediately:.
1) who did the work, and what are their credentials?.
2) what manuscripts is the work based on?.
They did it because in their filthy littl sex-infested minds, they actually believe that people reading that Jesus rode into jerusalem on an ass are giggling behind their hands.
As we all know jesus rode into jerusalem on a DONKEY not an anal sphincter. If they make this change in other languages where "ASS in not a synonym for "arsehole," they will make ASSES of themselves, if not Donkeys and ARSEHOLES.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

the (american) witless justified replacing the correct translation of ass with donkey, claiming we would never describe a happy brother as "gay".
an ass is a different animal from a donkey, making the nwt an inaccurate translation here.. are jdubs sooo filthy minded they think below the waist even in the context of christ riding into jerusalem?.
how do they translate numbers 31: 34: " 61 thousand asses" remember it is not 61 000 anuses.. .

this is my first post.
however, i have been reading this board for some time (call it stalking or trolling...lol).
so, hello to all.. i have had time to reflect on the agm since yesterday and my thoughts are that indeed the nwt needed much revision.
YET THEY HAD THE NERVE TO SAY THAT OTHER WRITINGS "HAVE BECOME ""PART" OF THE BIBLE "--meaning Witchtower LITTERATURE.
Are we to belive that the crap they have printed over 140 years are to be viewed as part of the bible, yet things the early Christians remembered about Jesus are "spurious"?
If the inconsistency of a few verses gets them wiped out, what about all the other inconsistencies in the Gospels?
If the Gibbering Buddies continue like this there will be no Gospels left...
can anyone save me the stress of listening to the self-appointed faithful & discreet slave for 3 hours, and give a clue as to roughly at what point in the proceedings was the derogatory term 'bum witnesses used, and by whom?
i'd really love to extract that comment and send it to a weakening witness, to highlight the judgmental arrogance and name-calling being displayed.. many thanks in advance folks!.
I am with Tenyearsafter on the 1975 stuff.
I lived through those days. My Sister remembers the book study conductor saying "it's only so many years / months till the end in 1975.
What about the "Stay alive until 75" talks? The COs hammering it at A$$emblies.
A Kingdumb Misery actually gave a sample presentation, telling the publisher to "HIGHLIGHT 1975 AS A CRUCIAL YEAR."
Other suggested presentations gave answers we should feed to elderly people we spoke to in reply to "not in my lifetime" - how right they were!!
1975 deniars are LIARS!

Didn't they change Jesus riding into Jerusalem on an ASS because that means a bottom/ arsehole/ bum.
Never mind that a DONKEY and an ASS are different animals: At least we can now prove the NWT is NOT the best translation in the world.
WHO in god's name would think that jesus rode into Jerusalem on an anal sphinctre, other than the gibbering buddies??
brazil.
necessarily in a catholic and priest-ridden country,.
wherein the greater part of the population possess a. small degree of intelligence, the giving of the witness is.
"Ability to associate ideas" - if this is a sign of intelligence, then most witlesses are exactly that.
i know there are some here that are going through some tough times.
some of you do not believe in god.
some are not sure.. i was told recently by a friend to pray to god for help and he would comfort me.. my first impulse is to pray.
If I dont believe in WHICH "god" do you mean?
Look at all the different civilisations in history and alll the gods they prayed to?
So it seems like the more you belive in the particular '''IMAGINARY FRIEND" your culture believes in the more strength you have to cope - even if Zeus or Ashtoreth is just a lie created by gangsta priests to sucker you - Like the Witchtower Babble and Trash Suckerciety does now.
Millions of people lived and live happy lives in the far east, without the so called comforts of monotheistic religions, which seem to cause more trouble and bloodshed than any others - but then they worship a homicidal sadistic sociopath.
We really get our strength to cope from within...

i have recently joined the site.
i was just appointed an elder this summer.
i started discovering the ttatt (the truth about the truth) last year after putting a few things together myself concerning the leadership and then doing some research online.. i really enjoyed jwfacts.com, jwsurvey, and others.
I know that "SICK FEELING IN THE PIT OF THE STOMACH!
I got it first at the 1993 A$$embly when they changed the "When you see these tHings", which made me suspect they would dump the Generation of 1914.
When the Witchtower came out changing the generation teaching, I felt sick. Getting up for work in the morning felt like torture - I neede to lie down and come to terms with the fact that we had all been hoodwinked. Over the next few years I began to DRINK whilst attending the kingdumb hell. It was the only way I thought I could stay sane: drink enough so you dont think too hard.
Then i got the Encyclopedia Brittanica CD. looked up JWs, and started the journey away.
i have met dr. gentry personally and found his reasearch on readio-halos fascinating.
it has been unanswered in published scientific journals, though lots of unscientific "just so" theories abound on the internet.
this video is a nice overview of several processes that are in much conflict with the worldview of materialists.

latest news from a source (missionary in foreign land):.
no more missionary homes anywhere in the world.. all missionaries presently in missionary homes must vacate.
must get housing on your own / from the locals.. circuit and district overseers have moved into many of these former missionary homes.. reasons: liability, cost savings, real estate to be sold or used for other purposes.. needless to say, many of these longtime servants are very unsettled.
