  by John Aquila in

  2. beliefs

  how many times have elders read their bible in its entirety?

  these are the leaders that give counsel to married couples, to teenagers, to single girls and single boys on everything from marriage, education, sex, association, dress, and recreation..

  how well do they know their bible?

  "Make a list of people you want to meet in the New System!" (New September Watchtower)

  by FusionTheism in

  2. bible

  watchtower september 2015 study edition, "stand firm in the faith," paragraphs 16 and 17:.

  following jesus example, we must read the bible daily, study it, and meditate on what we learn.

  along with general bible study, dig into topics about which you may have questions.. you can imitate jesus by meditating on the wonderful promises jehovah has made to you.

  By “evolution,” we mean “macroevolution”—apes turning into humans, for example.

  august 2015 awake .

  quote in title taken from article footnote.. anyone have information on who gene hwang and yan-der hsuuw in the article are?.

  why do they repeatedly state that apes turned to humans when that's not what evolutionists teach at all?.

  Revised New World Translation

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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..

  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.

  Why did the org "forgive" KH mortgages?

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i know this has been discussed, but i think it's good that topics like this get brought back up from time to time for the sake of newbies and lurkers, plus, i have a question (related at end of post).. the org brags about "forgiving" kh mortgages as if it's so loving and giving.

  i put the word in quotation marks because most of us realize it wasn't forgiving anything.

  the new arrangement should actually bring it far more money.. for example, suppose there are twenty congregations total.

  With this new arrangement, I have seen 2 cases happening:
  

  Case 1:

  Credit card company: "Hello John Doe, we will cancel your $50.00 payments that you pay every month!"

  John Doe: "Great! Thanks! Such a wonderful company. What should I do to get this going?"

  Credit card company: "Nothing. We cancelled your $50.00 payment. The only thing you have to do is send us $15.00 instead for the rest of your life. Ain't it a deal?"

  John Doe: "Oh..."

  Case 2:

  John Doe: "Great! I just finished paying my credit card! I have a zero balance!"
  

  Credit card company: "Ah, nope! Actually, you gotta pay us $15.00 for the rest of your life."

  John Doe: ":-("

  In both cases, our friend John Doe loses. In both cases, the congregation loses.

  A Whole New Watchtower Society (Governing Body 3.0 / Simplified Society)

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a whole new watchtower society (governing body 3.0 / simplified society).

  i'm not here to attack the governing body, watchtower society, or the jehovah's witnesses (jw) organization.

  the bible says there is just "one hope" for christians (ephesians 4:4).

  1. Type and Antitype Interpretations should be done away with unless taught directly in the Bible.

  Sure! Oh! if only other religions will do away with their type and anti types like the WT had done for decades!..oh, wait...

  How did brother Lett ever get tapped to be a member of the GB?

  Of all of the questions on this page, this is the most enigmatic of all.
