no, we havent.
on the contrary, when we have discovered that our beliefs were not completely in line with the bible, we have changed our beliefs.. is this correct?.
gods name in greek scriptures?
Yes -
Hebrews 1 is an example: The psalm paul quotes says "Your throne oh God is forever" (YHWH talking to Christ) Freddie changed this to "God is your throne to time indefinite" and then changed the psalm to say the same thing.
Grammatically the verse is talking about "your throne" not God.
There is a good pamphlet on the NWT, concentrating on Colossians showing the grammatical errors and deliberate changes to the text.
newspaper now publicly names one of the local elders that covered up child abuse.
it is same elder that wt glorified before because of his work at nasa.. .

BLONDIE -
I agree with you on the difference between those who are pedos and those who cover for them.
Pedophiles are sick and need to be locked away and helped - often they are victims themselves. Those who cover for them are evil, because they are ensuring that the pervert will be given further opportunity, sometimes even enabling the necessary cicumstances.
The way that victims were persecuted by the BORG into silence and the many cases of how "elduhs" who had molested were permitted to move on and continue their trail of perversion shows the sheer mendacious drattedness of the "Chosen organisation".

yesterday, i saw a picture of a family signing kingdom melodies together.
it made me realize a fact that i am somewhat ashamed to admit:.
for over a decade, i have been aware of the false prophecies, the deceptive statements, the lack of scriptural support for many core practices and other issues with the witnesses.
How many professionally trained musicians on here can even stand the constant consecutive fifths and octaves, the dreadful parallel 7ths, false relations, crossing of parts and other abominations.
Did an amateur write those piano accompaniments, or a very clever satirist?
Give me arch catholic composer Palestrina any day. His settings of the psalms and other scriptures beat anything these clowns churn out. I get more of a spiritual KICK from his Missa Papae Marcelli (the Kyrie Eleison) than any amount of droning kingdumb songs at a$$emblies.

i have a non jw friend that knows about jws only bc i related toher my experience leaving this abusive cult.
anyhoo, she went to starbucks yesterday and there was an older man on his laptop.

I hope her reply was only two words, a verb and a preposition.
saw three "public preachers" standing in a triangle facing people as they approach.
they all looked so depressed, that i almost went up to them to ask:.
"where is your kingdumb smile - i thought jws are the happiest people in the world.".

Anybody else notice the miserable faces nowadays. If they dont know you they dont even look at you as they pass...
the pilots and crew of the missing plane, was something wrong with all of them?.
sylvia.
Military tracking technology means the plane cannot have vanished from the screens. They are constantly on the alert for missiles etc. Try flying a small aircraft with no radio or electronics into foreign airspace - the planes will be scrambled. Only civiian tracking will have lost sight of it.
Twenty of the passengers were experts from a firm in Texas- in military tracking and cloaking technology.
I dont believe it crashed - those experts have been kidnapped. Unfortunately the other insignificant passengers have already been shot.
i have been suffering from fatigue, burning in my stomach, and i have always had canker sore issues as long as i can remember.
whether it's from stress or not, i can't say, but i might be getting an ulcer.
the burning in my stomach and intestinal puffiness is getting to be be chronic.
GO TO A DOCTOR. your symptoms are too extreme to waste time on any fancy diet. If your symptoms are of something more sinister GO BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
why did russian president vladimir putin ask the russian parliament to approve using military forces to keep the peace in the crimea, instead of asking the un?
why did the russian parliment pass a law approving military force instead of asking for the un to send peace keeping forces to the crimea (http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/01/world/europe/ukraine-politics/index.html?hpt=hp_t1)?.
is russia spiralling into a totalitarian dictatorship like germany in the 1930's and the soviet union from 1920's - 1990's with information control and coercive tactics?
The government in ukraine has asked Russia to come in, unlike the governments in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Venezuela,Ecuador, Panama, Grenada.
As for information control and loss of human rights....
This is all pots and kettles.
It is basically a EUROPEAN problem - those in the W. of Ukraine want closer ties with the EU, Those in the East with Russia. America can butt out, and let them sort it out themselves.

In the sphere of Education "SPECIAL" now is used to refer to those with special needs, where they were formerly called retards imbeciles and cretins.
The Witchtower Babble and Trash Society is becoming more special by the hour.
these are things that were said or insinuated, i start with the first 15.

1. working for a corporation in the city makes you fall out of the truth.. 2. if you become inactive or leave jehovah you will make your whole family sad and ruin everything.. 3. all worldly people cheat.. 4. all worldly people curse.. 5.
I loved this video!! Cried in all the right places, smiled at the cliches, nodded head at the wise counsel.
I used to LOVE "da troof" - The Truth at the time. My heart was aching for the illusory happiness i knew as a kid...
I loved the meetings, the cameraderie, (fake) the delusional joy.
Once it ended, like any other tear jerker movie that plays to our prejudices and feelings, I woke up, and saw that the life the prodigal was returning to was all lies, except for the standards of decency all societies have.
Crying is not enough to move me to go back to what I know is a false way of life.
