  shelley smith jones’ memoir, “petting tigers: my life as a witness of jehovah,” is a finalist in the creative nonfiction category of the high plains book awards.

  the title is taken from an appealing vision of paradise that smith jones saw in a jehovah witness book when she was a child.

  Cite one scripture in the N.T. that chargers Christians to be witnesses of / for Jehovah.....Not one.using K.I ./ WTB&TS

  i think the wtb&ts publication titled "the kingdom interlinear of the christian greek scriptures" speaks for itself.. the word for word translation of the greek into english.. that publication does not even contain the name or word jehovah either in hebrew letters or greek letters anywhere in the word for word texts.. their is not one scripture in the n.t.

  where christians ,followers of jesus christ are instructed to be witnesses of jehovah ,however there are something like twenty scriptures that explicitly state followers of jesus christ are to be witnesses of, for, and about jesus...

  Seinfeld! Yes, always liked his program. Thanks for the reminder of that clip.

  Now lets see, better go and get some ice cream to go with the pie. Is that the way you do it johnamos?

  Vanilla ice cream and apple cobbler? I am already getting hungry.

  johnamos:

  Again, just like referring me to JWfacts, I don't see the point in showing me WTS quotes.

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  That is what we do here john! We show Watchtower quotes as proof of Watchtower lies and deceptions. Whether you are a Jehovah's Witness or not, we still make suggestions to folks to visit JWFacts.

  I think you would really enjoy going there and investigating.

  If you don't want to visit JWFacts, that's ok, we still have hot coffee and apple pie on the table. Pull up a chair!

  Watchtower leadership under oath.

  
  

  Back to the point now. A false prophesy was promulgated?

  A. I agree that.

  Q. It had to be accepted by Jehovah's Witnesses?

  A. That is correct.

  Q. If a member of Jehovah's Witnesses took the view himself that that prophesy was wrong and said so he would be disfellowshipped?

  A. Yes, if he said so and kept persisting in creating trouble, because if the whole organisation believes one thing, even though it be erroneous and somebody else starts on his own trying to put his ideas across then there is disunity and trouble, there cannot be harmony, there cannot be marching. When a change comes it should come from the proper source, the head of the organisation, the governing body, not from the bottom upwards, because everybody would have ideas, and the organisation would disintegrate and go in a thousand different directions. Our purpose is to have unity.

  Q. Unity at all costs?

  A. Unity at all costs, because we believe and are sure that Jehovah God is using our organisation, the governing body of our organisation to direct it, even though mistakes are made from time to time.

  Q. And unity based upon an enforced acceptance of false prophecy?

  A. That is conceded to be true.

  How can anyone accept anything Jehovah's Witnesses teach when they admit these facts in court?

  As my old friend Leolaia said once: "This is the "mother" of all quotes"!

  Paradise Lost to Paradise Robots....no that one isn't so great either

  Revenge of Zion's Tower Babes With Big Bazookas....maybe

  The Bible in Living English--Byington Bible--1972

  What are some of the important factors about this Bible published by the Watchtower?

  1. What does this Bible say about the name 'Jehovah'?

  "As to the Old Testament name of God, certainly the spelling and pronunciation "Jehovah" were originally a blunder. But the spelling and the pronunciation are not highly important." (See p. 7 par. 3)
