  I never considered the book having the opposite effect. I hope that it may work that way on my father.

  "New Light" on "New Light" creates a dilemma (July 15, 2010 WT)

  by pirata in

  2. beliefs

  for the majority of my years in the truth, the "new light" did not bother me at all.. i reasoned this way: "the faithful slave is imperfect, right?

  logically they're going to make mistakes.

  the main thing is that they're trying to do god's will they best they can and stick as close to the bible as they understand it.

  Pirata,

  I love the way that you broke down the various errors by the WTBTS.

  If a scholar called into question the reliability of the NWT (or any other JW publication or teaching) would your father read that or dismiss it?

  HAHA. He would dismiss that in a heartbeat.

  If you are not familiar with this book you have not been a JW in the past year or two(or living under a rock). The book touts the NWT to be the most accurate translation, so it has become immensely popular with the Dubs. My father even had one out when I went to see him last weekend, and made mention several times that most secularscholars think that the NWT is the most accurate. He said that Truth in Translation proves the validity of the NWT.....sigh

  Well, at the least I can now look at the book. Here is the download, btw it is in DjVu format. http://revelation-v2.blogspot.com/2008/04/truth-in-translation-accuracy-and-bias_09.html

  Getting into Arguments with JW's...

  by ForbiddenFruit in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm trying to fade away, but i sometimes find myself in discussions or arguments with jw family/friends/white haired virgin elders.

  now, i usually have them beat on things but i'm not very experienced, so i was thinking if you guys could help me put together a list of completely unanswerable questions to pose to my jw friends/family/elders so they can stop bugging me.

  if i keep asking them questions they simply cannot answer, then they might leave them alone.

  Most-Ignored Scriptures by JWs

  by Mad Sweeney in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower has been known for over 130 years as a great scriptural cherry-picker.

  they pick out disparate unrelated verses and combine them to support the wackiest of wacky doctrines.. on the other hand there are many scriptures they almost never address, whether because they contradict wt doctrine or because they simply don't have a clue what they mean or how to spin them to the wt advantage.. one of these is revelation 19:1 that mentions a "great crowd" "in heaven.

  " the only time it is ever brought up it is dismissed.

  If the heavenly hope was not for the "Ancients" then how do JW's explain .....

  by restrangled in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hebrews 11:13-16. particularly verse 16: nwt version,.

  but now they are reaching out for a better (place), that is, one belonging to heaven.

  hence god is not ashamed of them, to be called upon as their god, for he has made a city ready for them.. niv version.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the only person that i have ever known of is gregg stafford, whom is no longer associated with the jw's.

  i remember a poster on here that talked about several jw apologist (not posters) that were more respected in the jw community than stafford was.

  this particular poster gave a list of names, and i cannot find that post for anything.. does anyone here know names of any jw apologist (not posters)?
