  i don't know if i have shared this with everyone, but there seems to be a new theocratic term, at least in my circuit.. the term is "final push.

  " wtf does it mean?

  well, an eldub said that the gb are "all in" with warwick and they might spend all their money on the project.

  Doc, I think many elders will seem friendly one-on-one. But when they are together (on a JC e.g.) then a different personality is activated. It's also easy to disagree with other elders in private conversation, as it can be denied easily; "she understood me wrong" or whatever.

  As the calling woman tells, this is actually a pattern I have also seen: when one is disfellowshipped, the whole family is effectively disfellowshipped from the congregation. Everyone avoids this family because they don't know how to invite a single member, or go to them etc and just ignore them completely. It's the easiest. Not really a sign of John 13:35 being applied though! Even though WT/JWs like to brag about that.

  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..

  Indeed sir82, and wow! This verse is new to me. Quite a shock.... on the other hand, as far as I know, there is no Mosaic law punishing sex before marriage. It "just" means you're married from that point.
  

  Fusion, I have got a list of over 100 verses which are mistranslated in the NWT, and most likely on purpose... the mistranslation nicely supports WT doctrine, while the original conflicts with it. But when reading the NWT yourself it's very hard to notice them, I also just found them on the internet and saw the fraud after checking them myself.

  See for example: http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/worship-jesus.php

  Fornicate and keep quiet, is it possible for a Governing Body member?

  by John Aquila in

  2. scandals

  do you think any of the members of the governing body have at one time in their lives committed an immoral sex act but never confessed?

  remember leo greenlees.

  fornication, adultery or something else?

  If I may ask, why do you care? It's not like there isn't enough hypocrisy in this organization to need some scandal like this... Stephen Lett lying on tv.jw.org in at least two separate videos for example already makes me so angry and cry.

  Hopefully the Supreme Court will review the case and determine that it is not a too big a burden for churches to warn other parents, and therefore restore the full penalty and force them to change policies for the better! *here is hoping*

  Blood Transfusions -- Simplified Suggestion

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you look at the context of acts 15, the commands given, are given to gentiles because jews with weak consciences would be stumbled if they saw gentiles doing these things.. these were not eternal, absolute moral commands from the almighty.

  they were temporary, cultural, ethnic instructions to help the jews and gentiles get along together when they were brought into the same congregation.. for example, one of the commands given is that gentiles must not eat any meat sacrificed to idols.

  yet, the apostle paul wrote many times telling christians that it is "up to your conscience" whether to eat such meat or not.

  Funny conversation with my kids today

  so my 11 year old kid comes up today during breakfast and tells me.... my friends at school are playing this new game.

  they balance a pencil over something else and then they put a paper under the pencil with the words "yes" and "no".

  they then ask "charlie, charlie, are you in the room?".
