i always figured jehovah was the father, jesus was the son, and we don't know what to call the holy spirit.
is this the orthodox view?.
but if god is triune in nature and all that, is jehovah the name for all 3 dudes lumped together, or is it just the name for the father?.

we hear a lot on this board how the society likes to misquote scientists, encyclopedias, and so forth.
.
what are your favorite and most offensive misquotes from the society when you went to do some fact-checking?
Actually I always thought a Misquotes site would be a really good sister site to Quotes.
The setup is key though, otherwise the dub will read the quote thinking it means what the wt is trying to say it means, then when they read the actual quote they will fool themselves into believing that the wt didn't actually say that.
I thought a neat little interactive would be key. Show a quote, offer a multiple choice list of what you actually think the quote means... then show the actual quote and ask what it really means.
There really are a ton of these. The trinity brochure, the blood brochure, the ante-nicene fathers....

i spoke with a well placed, highly responsible brother some weeks ago, who didn't care for my opinions about corruption "from the.
bottom all the way to the top" in the organization.
he defended the society against every accusation i made but was stopped short by one.
Now flame on, suckers.
No flames, just condolences.
You are a young guy who probably could be accomplishing a great deal had you not allowed some delusional, self-aggrandizing old men limit your thinking and choices.

a rumor alert indeed, but it could be related to the distribution of kingdom news no.37, "false religions end is near.".
the following is posted from e-watchman's forum.. make of it what you will, but in light of all the rhetoric about "deliverance at hand" and "independent thinking", nothing would surprise me anymore.. http://e-jehovahs-witnesses.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1502&st=0 we posted about an announcement it was only local to our cong.
however we have found out that there is going to be an announcement sometime in september and it is supposed to be shocking.
Check your premises, THAT was funny.ou're just mad you didn't think of it first.
No I was genuinely apologizing for not giving you your props. I actually laughed out loud, not a lame LOL. I was on my way to shower you with glory, but then as I am apt, I became distracted.
I don't care who says the funnies, as long as they get out there! If I wasn't able to laugh about all this I would be piloting a fertilizer truck somewhere in Brooklyn Heights right about now.

What is it? I have no clue. They didn't even pump things up this much for the 1995 generation change.
Listener,
I would never claim to be a better Brooklynologist (as in Kremlinologist) than you given that you were a member of the org while I never was.
But respectfully I would point out that there is a major difference between the 1995 generation change and ANY doctrinal change made today, and that is that ANYTHING they do or say is coming under further scrutiny and is seen more in the light of day. Any change has to be primed FAR more than it ever was in the past... no matter how minor.
I think announcing 1995 today would kill the org.
You are probably right about most not even thinking about 1935. On the other hand they do need to do something about all these annointed that just never seem to die off. Did you notice that when you were in the org? It is one of those tick-tock tick-tock doctrines like the generation that would not pass away.
I personally am having loads of fun forcing a couple of jw's I know to explain to me in excruciating detail just how we know that the NT was written exclusively to the annointed. They are almost in pain when I force them to say it out loud.

Um....didn't you read my full post?
Sorry.
But seriously.... I think we all sense that there is some new light in the works... They seem to be priming the sheep to accept some new light. If I had to venture a guess, it would be related to the annointed being closed off in 1935. First of all it has absolutely NO basis in scripture. And obviously there can't be an unlimited number of the 144000 who fell away, unless the ones that replace the ones who fell away then themselves fall away... unless you just get to like ten unfillable slots where these rotten bastards just keep falling away and so do their replacements...
That one has got to go!
Maybe a good Armageddon scare is a good way to get the drones a little more committed before they tell them some "teaching" they have been yammering about for about a century was completely off.... we wouldn't want that to imply that they don't have Jah's direction.
