  Jeremiah 29:10

  by TheOldHippie in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the new danish and swedish revisions of the nwt have "lifted up" the nwt-with references footnote alternative rendering of jeremiah 29:10 into being the preferred one, so that it no longer says "in babylon" but "for babylon".

  has there been any change or revision in the english issue?

  How would a WTS 'operative' behave?

  by Simon in

  1. jw

  i'm sure several here have posted and tried to be a thorn in the flesh of some of the jw-loyal forums on the net.. what was most effective?

  if someone announced "i am an apostate and i think you jws are all wrong and i will prove why" do you think they would last very long?

  to be able to do any damage so to speak, a careful masquarade would need to be maintained of being a loyal jw while stying to stir things up.. now, think of how anyone opposed to us 'opposers' would behave here .... would they announce that they are jws and they they were going to "set us all straight" ... or would they pretend to be an apostate ... pretend to 'help with the cause' but try and do more harm than good?.

  Favorite food at Assemblies

  i hated growing up as a witness.

  i hated the boring ass meetings where you could hear a pin drop on the floor, i hated going door to door and i hated not being normal like the other kids.. but the one thing i liked was going to the assemlies at the oakland coliseum.

  i would wander around and find other kids to goof around with.

  What do you think will happen when all the FDS die

  by termite 35 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm not planning anything..... but when they all pop off, what are the rest going to do?they think the ns will come before they all die, so how the heck will they cope with it ,scriptually speaking/ surely cause a few to 'desert'?

  there was a thread a few days ago about elders being up graded to fds status by some out of context crappily applied scripture;do you think they'll explain the absence of god's action with' the fds is still here!.

  or will they work everyone up into a horribly humiliating fever pitch of protelisizing ,the like of which we have yet to see?

  Baptism..Confused WTS Doctrine April 1, 2002 WT

  by ISP in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  check out the 1 april, 2002 wt, page 11.. christian baptism is not for everyone, jesus ordered his followers: 'go....and make disciples of people of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things i have commanded you.

  ' (matthew 28:19, 20)before being baptized, people must be 'taught to observe all things jesus commanded his disciples.

  ' hence, forced baptisms of those lacking faith based on accurate knowledge of god's word are valueless and contrary to the commission jesus gave his true followers.-hebrews 11:6.. so far as baptism is concerned, the matt 28 scripture as quoted by the article is a key text for dubs.
