as many may remember, the yorww congregation recommends that we, as teachers and "public instructors" of god's word, god's name people, should all read the bible from cover-to-cover annually, yes, once each year.
to that end, we have constructed a daily bible reading program, that helps an individual systematically cover the entire bible, in one year.
Crazyblondeb,
Thanks for the greeting!
As far as the YORWW being like the kingdom hall...lol...we are NOT...thank God! Our message is nothing like what is found at the kingdom hall, since we point to the complete and utter destruction of the Watchtower Society and all members of Jehovah's witnesses that follow them to the end.
Here is a link that gives more details on this:

HI Watson,
The name Y.O.R.W.W. means "YAH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS WORLD WIDE" and is taken from the prophetic bible text of Jeremiah 33:16 & Psalms 68:4.
Hope that helps,

New Online JW BIBLE COMMENTARY AVAILABLE!
As many may remember, the YORWW Congregation recommends that we, as teachers and "Public Instructors" of God's Word, God's Name People, should all READ THE BIBLE FROM COVER-TO-COVER annually, yes, once each year. To that end, we have constructed a daily bible reading program, that helps an individual systematically cover the entire bible, in one year. Happily, we recently completed a full yearly cycle itself, to make for a complete reading of the bible for the YORWW Congregation , as some of you may have already noted. However, this year, we have added a new feature to the LWF Discussion Board , to help us in our bible reading itself, and make it even more interesting to us, as we read the bible daily. -- See Joshua 1:8 ; Psalms 1:2, 3 .
To that end it has been observed, one of the things that has been missing from the library of ardent students of scripture, from among the international family of Jehovah's witnesses, is a good bible commentary -- A chapter-by-chapter scholarly consideration of the entire bible itself. True, Jehovah's witnesses have many tools provided them by the Watchtower Society over the years. They have a bible dictionary ( Insight on the Scriptures ), an interlinear translation of the bible ( New World Translation Kingdom Interlinear ) and they have been provided a large print cross-reference bible ( New World Translation Reference Bible ), in which we refer to often on the LWF Discussion Board and in the "Report" Document itself.
However as you know, we have noted that many nominal religions of our time, actually use bible commentaries also, to purposely enhance their understanding of the Holy Scriptures. In the past, Jehovah's witnesses, thru the Watchtower and Awake! Journals and other publications, only had spotted coverage of bible verses, as well as topical discussions covering certain bible passages. In other words, the Watchtower Society, to this day, still has not made specific comments on the true meaning of certain verses and key bible passages. Again, the publications over the years, have only given spotted coverage of the bible itself. And sadly this remains true, even up to the writing of this particular article.
For example, if you check in the Watchtower Society Publication Indexes , you will notice many, many bible verses have not received adequate attention or received even a simple comment by the Watchtower Society at all. And this becomes a startling and glaring inconsistency when we consider such important prophetic books as say, the book of Ezekiel thus, have not been given sufficient coverage to round-out the bible students scope and knowledge of important events ahead for us, as teachers and "Public Instructors" of God's Word to the nations or masses of people around us. (See The Nations Shall Know That I Am Jehovah publication, where chapters 12-20, 25-32, and 40-46 have been given no coverage to speak of. See The Nations Shall Know That I Am Jehovah , published by the Watchtower Society 1971; See Matthew 13:51, 52; Matthew 24:14.)
Therefore, it is with great pleasure, the YORWW Congregation announces, the release of a Full Bible Commentary uniquely from a Jehovah's witness perspective, yes covering the entire bible itself -- chapter by chapter, being made available on the LWF Discussion Board! Praise Jah!
As you may have already noticed, we have been working on this project since the spring of the year 2005. In putting this bible commentary together, the YORWW Congregation carefully strives to follow the counsel of James 1:25 where it states:
"But he who peers into the perfect law that belongs to freedom and who persists in it, this man [or woman], because he has become, not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, will be happy in his doing it." -- James 1:25
The Greek word used in this verse for "peers" [Greek: parakupto ] in James 1:25 , as shown in the footnote of the New World Translation Large Print Ref. Bible shows it to mean:
"having stooped beside."
This means, the ardent student of scripture must "peer" closely or "stoop beside" or "bend forward" [ Vines Expository of New Testament Words ] to observe something up close. Therefore the bible reader and investigator of scripture then, must better position themselves as if "stooping beside" down at the ground when they would spot something on the ground to get a much better view of it. Yes, the investigator of scripture must be alert and even astutely use some other helpful devices, something like a magnifying glass (tools like bible concordances, bible dictionaries, bible commentaries, etc.), to enlarge upon the verse in question or word, so that they can actually see the item ever so closely, so that they can fully understand actually what the item is...or shall we say, what the verse in question is really saying -- A mark of a true priest before God in itself. (Malachi 2:5-7; Acts 17:11)
So, we know a lot of hard work will have to go into the making of a complete Hebrew and Greek Bible Commentary for God's Name People. We estimate, it will take approximately one year for this project to be completed, under the direction of the Modern Day "Servant" and "Chieftain" of the Temple. Therefore, we expect it to become completed in its initial stage, around the Spring of 2006 . After that date, if any new research should become manifest or revealed to the YORWW Congregation , these particular insights could be very easily interjected into the Bible Commentary, as we progress in knowledge and understanding of God's Word throughout the years ahead. -- Isaiah 49:1-7; Ezekiel 44:3; Colossians 1:9, 10
To be sure, we feel this particular bible project, the chapter-by-chapter commentary of the bible itself, thus will prove to be an absolute must for all members of the YORWW Congregation, right up to the coming of the 200 Million Gentiles for God's Name, in whom this particular project, will quickly and greatly enhance their bible understanding giving them a genuine panoramic overview of the bible, at a glance, using the internet...the superhighway of information for our modern world today. (Acts 15:14, 17; Revelation 9:16-19) Remember, this commentary, will be made available for all who wish to learn from it, offered completely FREE to those who are seeking, yes yearning for Divine Bible Truth worldwide ... Praise Jah!

Hi Proplog:
No problem...we can discuss things here if you like.
I was wondering particularly about the connection between Isaiah 60th chapter and the verses shown in Revelation 21:24-26.
I see a connection with Isaiah 60:11 being quoted within these verses of Rev. 21st chapter. Do you see the same connection with Isaiah's prophecy?
Also, would you agree, the "kings of the earth" prophesied about in Isaiah 60, are quite different from the "Kings of the earth" mentioned in Revelation 21:24-26?
Your thoughts please...

will you react with prejudice when faced with "absolute truth?
sometimes, an irrefutable "truth" can be spoken.
and yet, this statement or fact of "truth" can be glossed over or dismissed or not recognized by the community at large, because of preconceived ideas taught us and engrained in us, from our previous upbringing or training.
Will You React With Prejudice When Faced With "Absolute Truth?"
Sometimes, an irrefutable "truth" can be spoken. And yet, this statement or fact of "truth" can be glossed over or dismissed or not recognized by the community at large, because of preconceived ideas taught us and engrained in us, from our previous upbringing or training. In other words, we dismiss these "facts" and show ourselves to be prejudiced against genuine truth, prejudiced againse even Absolute Truth from God. In many ways, this was the reaction that Jesus faced, when he brought Godly Truth to the Jewish Nation of his time. He faced prejudice, against Absolute Truth.
Sometimes, when we first encounter an Absolute, irrefutable fact or "truth" (which incidentally always finds its source in God Almighty) that contradicts our former way of life or previously held "iron-clad" predilections and beliefs, we immediately experience what more and more internet savvy Jehovah's witnesses are beginning to experience today -- "Cognitive dissonance." Actually, the term Cognitive dissonance has been described as being anxiety that results from simultaneously holding contradictory or incompatible attitudes, beliefs, or the like, as when one likes a person but disapproves of one of his or her habits." -- Random House Webster's College Dictionary 1991 Edition
In others words, cognitive dissonance is a state wherein a person holds 2 proven or factual viewpoints or ideas that amazingly seem to be at variance or total opposition to one another producing great confusion and internal conflict within the person. In such a state, the person lacks clear understanding of the situation, and cannot map out a clear, definitive course of action for himself. Such is the case for 6 million Jehovah's witnesses today, as more and more of them find out the very people in whom they felt they could trust most, yes those individuals who they perceive actually taught them genuine Godly "Truth" about the bible itself and introduced them to the God we know as "Jehovah," have now all of a sudden been caught and exposed to be involved in outright wickedness (like the October 2001 United Nations NGO Debacle of the Governing Body or the hidden Child Abuse epidemic among so many congregations, etc.) exactly in the fashion Jesus predicted the brazenly wicked would be exposed. (Luke 8:17; 2 Corinthians 4:2)
Indeed...what a dilemma to find oneself, in these "last days" of our time! However, this is only the beginning for Jehovah's witnesses and even all the rest of the "christian" world. You see, what lies ahead for all believers in God Holy Word is another great shock and dilemma...a revelation of even grander proportions than what's mentioned above. It will be the revealing of an Absolute Truth, that will literally shock the world and produce a genuine Paradigm Shift of such a magnitude that in later time, it will be compared with the epiphany of mankind finding out the earth was round instead of being flat...yes, a revelation of that magnitude.
BUT YOU MAY BE SAYING: WHAT TYPE OF ABSOLUTE TRUTH COULD PRODUCE A PARADIGM SHIFT THAT BIG?
To set the stage for the introduction of such earth-shaking information. We have to go back in time. Actually, if we could trace the whole scenario back to how such a situation could develop for mankind, we have to go back to the beginning, when sin was first introduced to mankind, in the Garden of Eden, we would be able to see exactly where the first big mistake in interpretation of bible prophecy took place, which has produced so much "cognitive dissonance" among God's Name People today. Let's examine that special prophetic statement again.
At Genesis 3:15 speaking to the newfound "rebel" Satan, Jehovah Himself uttered the first prophetic statement or promise of Holy Scripture. He stated, for the benefit of all wayward descendants of Adam and Eve who was to be shortly cast out of the Garden or God's First Kingdom Government Arrangement upon earth, the following:
"And I shall put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He will bruise you in the head and you will bruise him in the heel."
First off we notice, Jehovah sets great "enmity" between Satan and the "woman," as well as putting tremendous "enmity" between the 2 "seeds" produced from both (a) Satan and (b) the "woman" herself. Now this seems like such a simple statement, doesn't it? But, ohhhh...it is NOT so easy to understand itself...yes even for the last 6,000 years in fact. It became an amazing mystery of God!
However, the hidden truth or mysterious aspect of this prophetic drama, that has eluded so many for so many years, is the following:
The "woman" referred to is in fact "Eve" herself. And the "seed" of the "woman" referred to in this prophetic drama, is in fact a FLESHLY DESCENDANT OF THE "WOMAN" [EVE] ... correct? Were you aware of this?
Obviously, the Watchtower Society is not aware of this fact. No, they do not understand this Grand Sacred Secret itself. No, but we remember ever so clearly they teach the actual "seed" of the "woman," is Jesus Christ, with the "woman" being God's Heavenly Organization. Isn't that true? (See Watchtower November 1, 1983 page 3.) Of course, the problem with that explanation is this: If that were true, wouldn't that make Jesus a "descendant" of God's Heavenly "Woman" Organization made up of myriads and myriads of heavenly angels, is that not true? Which means Jesus Christ would have been produced in some fashion or form, by God's Heavenly Organization of angels...a supposition that quite frankly directly contradicts the facts themselves, as the bible makes quite clear, yes Jesus PRODUCED or brought forth the angelic creation themselves. So then, the opposite would be true. Jesus produced the heavenly angelic creation, not the other way around. Think about it. -- See Colossians 1:15-17 .
However, a "voice" today, if for the first time pointing forward to a more logical conclusion on this matter, by saying God's Own Word reveals the hitherfore irrefutable, profound "absolute truth" that Jesus Christ himself is actually, NOT...not the "seed" of the "woman" referred in the Garden of Eden, nor is he a direct descendant of this "woman" in question either, the "woman" Eve -- the "woman" Jehovah was originally referring to. And indeed, yes that is where the whole problem begins...at this very point. This is an irrefutable, shocking truth.
Here is a simple illustration that can reveal the problem in a "nutshell."
Most "christian" bible students will admit the following...2 major points:
