years ago when studying for meetings, i used several different translations so i could make a comparison.
i could never find anything to support that one verse.
does anyone have any information on how they arrived at that?
They do teach at the KH. They have their parts to do as women. Besides, it is written that single women are very important to God. It is also part of the theocratic government to have Jehovah as head of all he has created, Jesus who gave his life is next in line, and then man then woman.

so jehovah and satan are in vegas and decide to place "a bet" that loyal servant job would still be faithful if he lost his money, family, wife's respect and health....and yes, he still praises jehovah!
is this logical?
if god arranged for your family to be killed and destroyed your health and finances would you say:"thank you sir can i have another!
His wife and friends tryed to get him to forget God and die already. He didn't allow any of that to bother him and actually stayed beside God with blind faith. He continued to say sorry and to forgive his sins. Many of you have him as an example but are just to proud for your own good.

i will start with a definition: this comes from wikipedia.
- conscience is a hypothesised ability or faculty that distinguishes whether our actions are right or wrong.
it leads to feelings of remorse when we do things that go against our moral values, and to feelings of rectitude or integrity when our actions conform to our moral values.
Well they carry more truth than say... cathlics, protestants, bautists, jews, etc. Yea, they may have made some mistakes, but because of love we let it go as we recieve the truth at its own time. So Jehovah God created an angel that rebeled against him, he will straiten that right up. He will show us all pretty soon who is with the truth and who has separated away from the truth.

wt have always been very discreet about their finances.
in the annual totals the sum spent had great increases every year.
however is the evidence is quite clear about the recent fall of contributions - the result was the cut in watchtower and awake.
It also recives from the funds collected in every congragation, aroud the whole world. But this is still the way they are able to finance for new kingdom halls and assembly halls. They are organized and well taken care of, thanks to Jehovah God.

in his book four strange books of the bible: jonah, daniel, kohelet, esther (shocken books, new york 1967), elias j. bickerman, commenting on daniel 4:15, states that representations of the "sacred tree" with bandings similar to those described in that verse have been found on mesopotamian monuments.. i'm reading a translation of the book that lack notes and therefore i'm not able to trace the information's source.
does anyone here know about this iconography and its possible meaning?.

do any of you have elderly jw parents?
my mom is 89, good health and very active jw.
her world is the local congergation and 5meeting per week.she has her sunday outfits, tues, school dress, and thurs afternoon more casual styles.
I suppose it has to do with the financial situation of each congragation. Our congragation there are people who in their own time they put money and time for the elderly.

Revelations spoke of people in their caves, and how Jehovah destroys them. I can see many of you in their own caves like JCanon, well he was just parinoid, or dressing like a woman again.

rutherford--bible scholar--by request!
request from researcher: hey atlantis!
can you scan a page in the back of "vindication 1" that says that rutherford was a scholar?
People, the truth have been always out there. I have seen that the truth comes from God not from Rutheford. He was also a sinner and another man searching for the truth. He was closer to the truth than, say, Catholics!
