  They still don't warn the R&F in halls about pedophiles/criminals or did the cult come clean re/children -- very doubtful.

  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...

  SBF/Vander - is this where/why 'Trinity' comes into play? Wonderment mentioned previously and I never understood but not in the mainstream arena since teen. Don't want to derail the topic - so interesting and I've learned so much albeit slowly. Even missed couple pages but again thanks to Earnest for patience.

  Googling Blondie's reference - hope there are comments.

  Earnest - thank you for taking the time to 'splain and type out scriptures. Obviously, one can't be a 'quick' study on this and, yes, confusion. I recall (elementary school age) from the Baptist Church "LORD" was referring to GOD and "Lord," was Jesus (I think in the NT) and when it's "Lord" here you're referring to YHWH but I get it.

  Vander -- first century Christians didn't call on "Lord," YHWH, Jehovah, in Jesus name -- just strictly addressed Jesus? Thx

  I hope the victims are awarded monies -- the WT should have to pay.

  1975 and 1981?

  by Steel in

  is it true that in 1975 the watchtower falsely predicted the end of the world and a great number of the membership quit and just a few years later they turned disassociation into disfellowshipping?

  Beautiful name, Anastasia (Annie). Your beloved mommy was brilliant so you come by it honestly. Interesting info about your family and Grandfather. I love the University of NV at Reno - old, beautiful, campus. It's received awards and is now one of the leading medical universities in the country - great area and has the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains.

  Take care of yourself and come back soon.

  I've heard that also about child abusers/pedophiles in prison yrs. ago -- it's sad the WT takes a criminal position against children and the weak, innocent, victims. They are despicable and corrupt -- I don't know what it would take for the cult drugged/indoctrinated members to wake up.

  The WT cult will always fight on -- free legal up to point of calling in A-Team professional firms and free money that provides all their dreams come true. Too bad the base feeds their money boxes.

  Earnest - that makes sense re/the pictures/links posted but I'm confused w/all the scriptures quoted re/witnesses of Jesus. Were these scriptures edited from the Hebrew Tetragrammaton?
