  Why our Bible is the best!

  by nvrgnbk in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  here is an interesting prologue i recently found while perusing bibles at my local christian bookstore.... as the holy scriptures that were meticulously transmitted to our ancient brethren form the basis of our undying faith in the sovereign lord almighty, the importance of their accurate translation is of utmost concern to all of the consecrated.

  tragically, the enemy of our salvation, satan, and his earthly agents have spared no effort in their attempts to adulterate the purest thoughts of the most high.

  the means used were often so subtly insidious that it's only after the passage of centuries that contradictions in renderings and spurious verses have become apparent to the faithful.

  Is this a joke? If not, what in the world was the title of the translation?

  JW Books at yardsale

  by tfjw in

  1. watchtower

  a friend of my wife just called her and said she was now ready to part with her deceased husband's personal property and was going to be having a big yard sale sometime this summer.

  her husband, not her, was a third gen. jw elder and she's setting aside his theocratic library for my wife and i to take a look at before she sells anything in the yard sale.

  i told her that whatever she did don't put them in the yard sale because some unsuspecting mind could become disturbed if read unsupervised.

  30 years a Watchtower Slave not recommended Elder reading meterial.
  
  True. I knew this elder for a while. He remained in the org because of his other family members. He always said that God blessed him and his wife not to be able to have children because otherwise they would have grown up in the org.

  Violations of privacy re: postal mail by JWs

  2. friends

  i have been sending out orders of books to jws, ex-jws and others for over 25 years.

  sometimes plain wrap to keep the family's noses out of it.

  over the years i have seen the same constant pattern: whenever the questioning jw lives with or near family members who are currently jws, they want to break open the mail to see what others are ordering!!
