  Why I will NEVER be an elder again

  by stillajwexelder in

  so the po confirmed what many on this board already know.

  at latest round of co to elders meeting, the co quoted from the society outline.

  any elder or ms who encourages college for his kids or others or who allows his children to go to college will no longer qualify.. he then asked if i was going to take the cos encouragement and reach out again to be an elder and get my hours on the ministry up.. i replied "i will never be an elder again - i strongly approve of further education and college and have been through college myself.

  Should the Name Jehovah Appear in the New Testament?

  by hamilcarr in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is the title of an article from the august 1st issue of the watchtower (public edition).. it can be downloaded from http://www.jw.org/index.xjp?option=qryqzrqvnznt but is not yet available in print.. the absence of the divine name in nt manuscripts is vaguely described so as not to confuse the average jw reader.

  the opening paragraph even gives the uninformed reader the impression that some of those nasty non-jw translators deliberately chose to omit the divine name.

  bible scholars acknowledge that god's personal name appears in the old testament or hebrew scriptures.

  Bible scholars acknowledge that God's personal name appears in the Old Testament or Hebrew Scriptures. However, many feel that it did not appear in the original Greek manuscripts of the so-called New Testament. What happens then if a writer of the New Testament quotes passages from the Old Testament in which the Tetragrammaton appears? In these instances they use the word Lord rather than God's personal name. The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures doesn't follow that common practice. It uses the name Jehovah 237 times in the Christian Greek Scriptures or New Testament.

  Hmm they didn't do this at hebrew 1:10-12 which is a quote of Ps 102:25-27 and bears the Divine name in Psalms

  Do we need to research the customers to be associated with this new holiday called "Apostate Appreciation Day"? We wouldn't want to have anything rooted in paganism or that perhaps the Bible sheds a negative light on.
