NWT released in modern Hebrew
by Wonderment inon february 21, 2020, the wt society made the announcement in their website of the release of the new world translation in modern hebrew (hebrew scriptures - "tanakh") in haifa, israel.
now, the complete nwt is available in modern hebrew.. some time ago, a poster here said that releasing (in theory, i.e.
) the hebrew bible in a modern version, such as the nwt, would be irrational.

Thanks, Wonderment for the post.
Two reasons why a modern Heb. NWT makes sense:
1. Modern Hebrew ≠ ancient Hebrew. Languages are always changing, and not just with additional vocabulary. Look at how different KJV English or Shakespearean English is from modern English. That's only 400 years ago. Go back to Chaucer in the 14th century and then Boewulf before him, and the English is almost unrecognizable.
With biblical Hebrew we're talking 2000-3000+ years. I've spoken with modern Greeks and they tell me that they cannot understand the NT when it is read in modern Greek Orthodox services. It has changed that much in 2000 years.
2. It is much easier to control the R&F if you've got one translation issued by the authority of the organization they are all obedient to and trust.
We all know how the WTS is obsessed with control.

SBF,
"Was the printery removed and reinstated, or what did I miss?"
No, it never should have been removed, so its removal was rescinded!

2019 Annual Meeting: more F.O.G.
by neat blue dog inafter the new construction project is announced, anthony morris the turd gives a talk where he arrogantly tells the audience to 'get over it' and get to work.
he says relaxing is fine and 'im not trying to put a guilt trip on you' but you all need to get busy.
no graciousness at all for the endless volunteer labor they demand for whatever new projects they dream up.

NBD,
I don't have the time right now to watch the vid that HWT linked, but one question:
Is this "David Sanderson gives an impassioned talk..." David Splane or Mark Sanderson?
Thx for the post.

Must read Dutch newspaper article about jw culture related to abuse
by Gorbatchov inmust read news paper article about jw culture.. jehovahs: "you do not bring a brother to justice" a parallel community with deviating values and norms, which conceals abuse cases as quickly as possible and where women are subordinate to men.
that picture emerges from a report on the jehovah's witnesses published on thursday.
bas soetenhorst january 23, 2020, 5:16 pm a gathering of tens of thousands of jehovah's witnesses in the rai in 1979. image anp with the jehovah's witnesses, the biblical principle is that you should not bring your brother to justice.

Gorby,
Thanks for all these posts that keep us current on this matter. I have a question since the background of all this a bit fuzzy for me and I cannot remember the details. Is this the same university research that the org greenlighted active Witnesses to respond to? If I remember correctly (and I may not!), didn't those insiders who did respond have to get the okay from their BOEs first?
