so brohter (not elder or anything but many years active) had to give talk this week.

talk related to how jehovah gives abilities to people thru the spirit.

started off with the mention of how god told moises to build the tent and gave people the abilities to work wood, stone, etc.

They had a site that is for sure, I wouldn't say there were "on" the internet until recently. Especially the way they have wailed on it the last two decades until just recently.

Apparently you could going the website without pornography popping up out of the blue! and social media was the worst. My how things have changed

Revised New World Translation

by FusionTheism in

i just wanted to put it out there that i am actually truly impressed by the revised nwt.

i think it's an awesome bible version.. the only issues i have are that it should only have "jehovah" in the new testament when quoting the old, and the alternate translation of john 1:1 in the footnote should be in the main text..

I like how they took "mental regulating out" probably not because that sounds culty at all

by John Aquila in

I love the way witnesses just make up "facts" all the time. "truth" "facts" these don't have to be really true or based on evidence!... Ive heard so much stupid shit from the stage and comments at the watchtower this is whey they don't want talks recorded and so on.

This is why almost every witness in every hall (in most of Merica') get involved in snake oil, mlm, pyramid scheme nonsense. They both attract the same chumps

Govening Body and JWN

by John Aquila in

do you think any members of the governing body visit this site-jwn regularly?.

how about the heavies in the organization, like the writers, lawyers, and other who work at headquarters?.

for all we know john aquila could be a member of the gb..

freemindfade

I believe they have some kind of intelligence program, what it is, not sure. I highly doubt the GB visit, I think they do their best to stay in fantasy land.

The Truth vs Theories

by freemindfade in

i had a thought today, would so many people sign the witness version of the billion year contract if instead of calling everything (even the religion) "the truth", they were more like science and called it "theories".

it's funny because "the truth" changes all the time, where as really the truth does not.

in science you say something is a theory it can change and become more accurate (new light), .

Maybe the WTBTS wouldn't look so stupid about changing their doctrine if they called it THEORIES, but then, I imagine not as many people would sign on the dotted line with their baptism if it wasn't touted as "THE TRUTH"

THIS IS WHAT WITNESSING HAS BEEN REDUCED TO IN 2015

by steve2 in

threads on the newer jw face of public "witnessing" have shared in common the astonishment that jws safely park themselves behind their literature trolleys and exercise incredibly little contact with passersby.

whether the poster is talking about europe or the united states or australia, descriptions here are the same.. literature stands are protective sheilds behind which jws huddle, talking to each other, sipping on their espressos, whilst the disinterested world passes by.

neither the jws nor the passersby catch each others eyes.
