hi, i'm a long-time lurker who is still in due to family.
i'm hoping someone here can help me.. is there anywhere online that i can find a critique of the new bible revision?
one of the things that really got me was when i researched about the new world translation and found how there was no basis for adding jehovah's name in the new testament, and then other areas where they translated to accommodate their interpretation.
I just finished praying this morning that Jesus is the Way and to please guide me, and you reminded me of your favourite passage, what a coincidence.
Connie, only the extremely stupid and the extremely wise never change their ways. Life is beautiful just live it!
draw close to jehovah.
chapter 22 - is the wisdom from above at work in your life?.
paragraph 18 - not making partial distinctions, not hypocritical"godly wisdom rises above racial prejudice and national pride.
Copernicus:Those youngsters who are graduates are also made to be negatively distinct from others. The leadership of the WTBTS has such a lot to answer for!
It's an "angle of incidence equals angle of reflectance" kind of thing eh. Copernicus.? LOL
the us elections suck up all the attention (and it's not even at the candidate selection stage!
) but canada actually has a national election today.. first results are starting to come in and so far it's all liberal party.. i think it's time harper and the conservatives got the boot.
last premiere from the bush era.

I listen to scientists because generally speaking, they learn from their mistakes.
people have varied and strong feelings about politics and wars, but you can't deny the courage a sacrifice of our veterans.
too often they do not get the honor they deserve.
in this country once they come home their sacrifice and heroism is too quickly forgotten.

it was the week when circuit overseer comes and my relatives wanted to offer the food.
i had got my school friend, a muslim girl, going into the meetings and she actually progressed and went to the field service, but never got baptized and one day she just disappeared.well anyway, this overseer comes for the free lunch and then when we are sitting in the table with his wife and my relatives, the muslim girl comes as the subject.
overseer throws out this absurd asshole joke that because their family doesn't like witnesses his father will come with a truck and drives it through the kingdom hall wall and then it explodes.
an announcement to all congregation in italy :.
the project of a new bethel in italy was allocated .
the number of temporary special pioneers will be reduced significantly.
It's not surprising really. How could a NY based business empire like the wtbts expect to be immune from their actions? Even with tax free status!
Thanks to the internet we can see information about whats really going on. For a good review, see this video it's long but well worth watching.
i am not sure if it's true but i heard from a good source that wt has given instructions to elders to postponed disfellowshipping members from wrong doing/gross sin until further instructions given by headquarters.
i heard some jws were just reproved either privately or publically.
has anyone else heard anything like this recently?
i haven't yet won the state lottery but i purchased a lottery ticket last night.
if i win the lottery, it's $150 million.. if i win, my name is publicly announced and of course my picture gets into the news.
i will probably get df'ed.. however, will the wtbts accept a hefty "donation' from my 'lucky' winnings?
If I won a big lottery like 20 million or so I would relish the television interview almost as much as the money. When interviewed about what I am going to do with all the money? I would look the Camera's straight in the eye and say something like "I have been screwed around by a lot of people in my life and now I have the money to get even with them and they all know who they are!!" Then I would hire a bunch of private detectives to observe the fall out of some of the more likely suspects as well as good security staff to deal with the non thought of collateral damage LOL.
