  Are JWs preaching Paul's Gospel or something beyond Paul's Gospel?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  paul's gospel: .

  now, brothers and sisters, i want to remind you of the gospel i preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.

  2 by this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word i preached to you.

  Wrong Religion

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we brainstormed a while back on this forum and pooled our knowledge on how to recognize false religion.

  i think the list is worth reviewing and adding to if possible.

  please feel free to correct and or add insights of your own to this list:.

  Which Bible Translation.....

  by BoogerMan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ....is the best, in your opinion?.

  out of the numerous translations i've had/used, i can honestly state that the 2001 translation is head & shoulders above all the others i've ever consulted, imo.

  the publishers even invite suggestions/corrections to be submitted.

  Will the ministry ever resume?

  by optimisticskeptic in

  2. friends

  going on 2+ years of no public ministry.

  can't imagine anyone is really enjoying letter writing still or that it's remotely effective.

  i'm a little shocked that we haven't resumed yet but i guess that's what happens when the org is run by a bunch of old people (ie high risk for covid) and a bunch of other sheltered germaphobes.

  If some of the hype re/the jabber negatives is true could be a rough couple yrs. ahead - might be limited amount of JWs doing door-to-door ministry. Hope negatives are 100% wrong - I prefer to have JWs well - very stressful!

  I've never received so many JW letters as via the USPS past few yrs -- receiving couple mailings per yr. before Covid. I can't stand buying all the stamps as it is can't imagine - must cut down on the JWs monthly donations.

  ? Is the Heb/Greek Interlinear (w/Concordance) a W/T publication - I assume there are a few to choose from.

  Curious the ratings on the NWT although I was use to it moons ago.

  Ditto Blondie being back onboard. Learned more reading some of her WT study articles -- I need to search for them here and make copies.

  Prediction of how Watchtower going to be in 5 Years.

  by Foolednomore in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i can see it that watchtower will become an online/tv based group with just con-vention hall$.. field service would be letter writing and phone preaching, door to door is done.. watchtower will have pay to view programs and still ask for donations after all that.. zoom meetings are here to stay.

  kingdumb halls will be sold off except for con-vention venues, or need for new ones$.. df'ing will continue.

  the craziness will continue.

  You run four bakeries? WOW - hard work and need conscientious, ethical, employees. What kind of bakery? Hard to find good one here in the desert - best on the strip and one at the Bellagio that has the greatest cake ever. The frosting looks like it's level 5 smooth wall plaster - beautiful decor like the modern-day wedding cakes.

  Oh if I could only make great cakes.⭐️

  Foolednomore - I'd tell these bros you charge a fee to train (like a trade school) -- if they qualify after few mos next phase is the 6 month apprentice program - low wages. They'll continue begging.
