  Oh for goodness' sakes, she makes a big deal about whether they are called "proclaimers" or "publishers." She keeps harping on "where's Jesus?" when the article did mention Jesus. I don't see anything wrong with articles reminding Witnesses of keeping their zeal for the work. Any organization would have reminders such as these every now and then.

  Maverick,

  : The Bible is a prop and a tool to promote the WTS and only the WTS!

  And what's wrong with that?

  the jw's don't miss a beat in marketing their cultish religion to the downtrodden of society.

  My good gracious. Talk about nit-picking. It's like you want every study article to contain every last detail of JW theology. I saw a lot of decent instruction. Sometimes I think apostates go way overboard in their critcisms and this is certainly one of those times.

  anyone have any ideas as to why the nwt renders the latter part of the text "with us is god" while just about every other bible has "god with us"?

  Thanks, N. I was thinking about the greek construct lending weight to the NWT rendering, as well as 'El at the end of the name suggesting that God in English occur in the predicate.

  BTW, it's been ages since I posted here but I do read the board and I appreciate everyone's posts very much.

  now that you don't practice the religion, is it safe to say that you reject everything that you were taught??

  1) There is no three-headed god.

  2) When you die, you're really dead.

  3) There is much corruption in the world's political and economic systems.

  Not much more remains after that.
