What's with my Mom and the NWT?
by Ingenuous in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
before i left the org, i decided to start doing my personal bible reading in a translation other than the nwt.

my mother seemed bothered by this, wanting to know why i didn't want to use the nwt, describing why she greatly preferred it to other translations, and generally adopting a worried look whenever i mentioned the topic.

i talked to her this morning and she turned the conversation into a q&a session on a bible i was looking for in a local bookstore.

Newspaper Article on JWs today - Write the paper - PLEASE!!

today's sunday, claremont, nh eagle times has an interesting article on jws - inspired in part by a quick build kingdom hall going up this weekend in rockingham, vt.. here's the link: eagle times article october 23, 2005. i thought the article was good, but may have gone a bit easy on the witnesses.

no mention of witness shunning, the dateline expose, silentlambs, the blood issue, witness beliefs, etc.

also a bit confusing is the assertion of the tremendous growth rate at the same time that the article states that baptisms have dropped off 33% in the us since the mid-90s (holy shit!

#1 do you love jehovah?......she answered, "of course i love jehovah".

#2 do you feel the same about the faithful & discreet slave?....she answered, "why wouldn't i ?

they taught me everything i know".-----to give you some background, the elders paid a shepherding call on this ill former regular pioneer that they deleted for going to an "unequaled yoking" of a wedding of my inactive daughter and her "worldly" husband.
