  just curious about Hebrew verb tense in Isaiah...

  by lost_sheep in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was comparing the nwt & the niv the other day & noticed there's a discrepancy at isaiah 48:18 & 19... the niv reads: .

  18 if only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

  19 your descendants would have been like the sand, your children like its numberless grains; their name would never be cut off nor destroyed from before me.

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  dr. shadduck 1928 edition.

  i retyped out a couple of pages that were weak, however, if you still need a page or section retyped, then just send me a pm.

  any copyrights on this booklet would have been discontinued many years ago.

  What songs got you through good or tough times?

  by jojochan in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've been in an upbeat mood lately.

  i don't know if it's all the exercise that i'm doing or what but i've not been moody all 3 weeks.one thing that i've noticed, is that i've listened to certain songs that made me forget about "her" and move on with bigger and better things.

  when i was depressed i listened to some songs from tool, some from the cure, barbra manning, the old babyface songs,some from sade, sweetback, and maxwell and everything but the girl.

  old light on mediating...

  by lost_sheep in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  blow the dust off your ancient watchtower tomes & delve into the annals (or should that be anals?

  ) of the wts's past... i'm trying to find out if they have ever taught that christ is the mediator for all people.

  recently finding out (after being raised a witness) that they teach that christ is not the mediator for everyone was disturbing to say the least.

  Holidays

  by I-follow-the-narrow-path in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jw's don't celebrate holidays, because they are pagan and would offend jehovah god to partake in them.

  what about the memorial though?

  i mean, why is it okay to celebrate that?

  Is the WT currently associated with the UN?

  by lost_sheep in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i know this topic has been beaten to death, i apologize for flogging the proverbial horse again... but someone mentioned a few days ago (can't find that comment now) that the wt still has ties to the un.

  what evidence do we have for this?

  if one of its corporations is still affiliated with the un, seems like that would be quite the scandal.

  greetings from another newbie

  by lost_sheep in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well... i've finally worked up the courage to get an account & start posting on this site.

  i've been lurking for a couple of months now, voraciously reading all the, mmm, "delightful words of truth" i've found here.

  i'm currently deep in dubdom, so i have to be pretty ambiguous about some personal details, (i'm really paranoid, hopefully that will pass :-/) but my story in a nutshell is: i was born into this religion, baptised in my mid teens, happily married to a wonderful (& thankfully, somewhat open-minded) jw lady, & now, several years later, i'm starting to seriously question some of what i believe.
