It is my understanding that accreditation merely means that you teach what you say you teach and that placement is in the field of study. I came across this definition a while back when there was an article in a local newspaper that a college that taught palm reading or its ilk was credit in SW USA because their courses matched their published program and students were finding jobs as 'psychics.' My two cents worth.

Does Gilead have any accreditation?
by journey-on inwhen a witness talks about someone who has "graduated" from gilead, they always make it sound like such an accomplishment as if they graduated from harvard or somethin...lol.
i know it's called the watchtower bible school of gilead and is located at the watchtower educational center in patterson, ny (sounds impressive, uh?)..
it used to be known as the watchtower bible college of gilead in south lansing, ny.. does this school have any accreditation that you know of or is it just glorified classroom training for jw "missionaries"?

Another interesting NWT corruption of extant scripture.

22:18,19 is a good idea.
god said leave it alone.

Side note: The NWT is not the only Bible that uses brackets. For one, The Holman Christian Standard Bible. That being said, the HCSB doesn't insert [Other] in the scriptures being discussed. I've always tried to read and ignore what's in the brackets to see how, if, the meaning is changed. TC

when did "new light" teaching start. What goof was covered?What a CYA idea!
by oompa ini am so sick of jw's thinking all past errors (false teaching) are no big deal cause we have "new "light " on the matter now.
recently even my elder/dad said he wonded at times if some of our past teachings that did not pan out could be considered "false teaching!!!
" i got excited and instead of saying "duhhh", just said it seemed like it could be, and that is how/why we examine the pasts of other religions as well.

I found this article of interest. I DON'T agree with their reasoning ('adjustments' HAVE been made to previous points of view), but here it is for your enjoyment. WT 1981; Dec 1, pp 26-31 "The Path of the Righteous Does Keep Getting Brighter" /quote At times explanations given by Jehovah’s visible organization have shown adjustments, seemingly to previous points of view. But this has not actually been the case. This might be compared to what is known in navigational circles as “tacking.” By maneuvering the sails the sailors can cause a ship to go from right to left, back and forth, but all the time making progress toward their destination in spite of contrary winds /*quote The Bible says the light gets brighter, it's not a lighthouse that blinks!!

Doesn't Excel (tm) have those functions? If you use the formula bar it will ask for the parameters, then kick out the results. I haven't looked myself, but I think I remember seeing them in the list. TC

Any Supporting Scriptures for the Trinity in the OLD Testament?
by eclipse ini did not want to hijack this great thread that booker-t started:.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/142032/1.ashxon the trinity.. i know the supporting scriptures for the trinity in the new testament.... i was wondering, are there any ones that support the trinity, or even a dual-god in the old testament?.
thank you in advance for all of your comments and scriptures.. .

I used think that "Let US create" was similar to Queen Victoria saying "WE are not amused." - A form of emphasis. I now think it is a type of conversation between Jehovah and Jesus Christ. Another thought is, while I can see where some can get a Jehovah/Jesus duality, how did the "Holy Spirit" become part of it to make a trinity? TC

Since it appears that it was suppose to be an asterisk, I'd be more apt to blame a bad character mapping, rather than a deliberate insert of that icon. Do asterisks appear in other articles?

Why don't Witnesses indentify themselves at the door when in service?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmy 17 year old daughter told me 2 men were at the door saturday looking for adults that lived in the house.my wife and i were out of town for 2 days.they had suits on and carrying book bags.
they asked if she was over 18. she replied that she wasn't.
they left without indentifiying themselves.
