June JW Broadcast - Jehovah's & Jesus' names Are Interchangeable!

by The Searcher in

mr. geoffrey jackson hosts this month's propaganda-fest, and uses a favourite catchphrase of the org - "by extension" - to get out of the dead-end which the scriptwriters had put him in.

he quotes matthew 10:22 - "and you will be objects of hatred by all people on account of my [jesus'] name; but he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved.".

mr. jackson knows only too well that probably no j.w.

Searcher I think it's GB Sanderson who is hosting June's broadcast.

IT IS Mr. Geoffrey Jackson.

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

by FusionTheism in

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.

by FadingTruth in

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?.

"It cannot make accurate predictions."

Are they talking about themselves???

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..

pixel

How did you feel about the previous version?

That's old light _Morpheus. Get on with the times!

WT started using the internet in 1997, brother said

by StarTrekAngel in

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.

This is how it used to look February 6, 1997...

Why did the org "forgive" KH mortgages?

by Magnum in

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.
