lol.
so my parents are studying how to convince one of their bible studies that jws are not a cult.
they just checked two different dictionaries, realized that the definitions given could, indeed, apply to jws.
For N drew I understand your need to defend and protect the bible, but you should not demean ones questions of its shortcomings. You are engaging in what witneses do when their beliefs are challenged and they have no answer.
If anything the fact that someone ' hardly old enough with enough experience' can come to such a conclusion is telling about the bibles authenticity. I have always maintained you cant get out of the book of Genesis without finding serious flaws.

let's say it was revealed via the media and scientific community that a planet wide catastrophe such as a large comet or asteroid impact or even a brush with a large planetary body or black hole was emminant and that it was certain to devistate the planet in say 18 months.
how would you spend the remaining time?
if the event was considered possibly survivable by maybe a few million what action, if any would you take?
hoook up alert!
i am sure that when i gave talks, although the nwt was always the main bible used, other translations could be used to make a point.. the elders recived a letter dated may10th 2011 re:public speakers and it stated under the subheading "reading from scriptures".
scriptures should be read by the speaker rather than requesting a volunteer from the audience.
the new world translation should be used, if available.
i used to use the living bible to give it some flavor
i found this video on youtube, looks like a extremely busy schedule and on top of that meetings, service, etc................. click on link: bethal waiter crew documentry.
Ahh yes lasagne day one of my faves. Bethel waiters were cool people.
just would like to have a place for those who went today to post their experience and the reception of the 7/15 study article on apostates..
One good comment for someone to make at the meeting would be how before 1975 apostacy was hardly mentioned but after 1975 apostacy has been mentioned over 500 in WT literature.

Iquit this was the study article in the Kool-aide edition.
Oracle you hit the nail on the head thats exactly what it was about.
In truth I feel its impact was lost on most there. The die hards ate it up but the common JW just going thru the motion I dont think they cared.
Looking thru this post reminded me of a lot of friends who moved on.
I cant remember the exact reason why Nvr stopped posting but basically he moved on nothing major.
