What happened to the mammoths?
i was bored at the bookstudy the other night, and the book being studied is of course "live with jehovah's day in mind".
this book is (ostensibly) based entirely off ot writings, specifically the minor prophets.
however, you'd expect to see the odd mention of jesus here and there, seeing as they do claim to be christians and all?.

Recall that last weeks Watchtower accused all non-Witnesses of "never really wanting to be footstep followers of Christ".
Now, I looked through the publication of these so-called "footstep followers of Christ" and lo and behold, Jesus is not even mentioned by name until page 180 out of a 192 page book. 94% of the book passes by before Jesus is even given a cursory nod! In fact, several pages earlier the ransom is lauded as a "loving provision of Jehovah" with no mention of Christ... uh, yeah, last time I checked, it was in fact Jesus who fulfilled the ransom.
I may be atheist, but it still pisses me off that these slimebags load their book up with qualifier phrases like "true Christians" and "Christian servants of Jehovah" but then act like Christ never even existed.
this is what i've been told by my j.w.
sister-in-law.. my question.....are there any verses that have been changed in their bible from one revision/edition to the next?
if so, which verses?
Colossians 1:16-17 was recently changed. It used to have the word "other" inserted 4 times, always appearing in square brackets, so as to support their anti-Trinitarian dogma. However, the most recent editions of the NWT have the word "other", in the same 4 places, but without the square brackets. This one is the most striking becuase she probably has a NWT 3 or 4 years old which she can compare herself to a new one from the KH.
Older version:
16 because by means of him all [other] things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All [other] things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all [other] things and by means of him all [other] things were made to exist,
Most recent:

No, but if you meet one, let me know.
what publication/source does the watchtower claim that jesus approved the organization in 1918?
More importantly, WHY did he pick them? According to their current standards, they were apostates, liars, spiritual fornicators, cannibals, and people of filthy, unacceptable habits. What's more, some of them even had BEARDS! Why would Jesus pick a bunch of bearded spiritually fornicating tobacco-smoking cannibals as his faithful earthly representatives?
*** km 3/06 p. 1 par.
(mark 4:26-29) let us now consider three more of jesus' illustrations-the mustard grain, the leaven, and the dragnet.
when the wts says "god's people" do they mean anyone other than jws?.
Thank you Blondie! Excellent work as usual.
Billy: LOL. Thank you for bringing the correct understanding of this important scriptural teaching to my attention. In line with Jesus' words, I will henceforth multiply all values on my field service report by the divine number of 7.
Just to recap the oldlight/nulite difference:
Mustard Plant:
Old: Mustard plant is Babylon the Great (insert at least 2 pages of filthy, hateful vitriol against the all other religions).
Nu: Mustard plant is Hojovahs Witlesses. Lord be Praised!
Dragnet:
Old: Dragnet is "Christendom" over the centuries (even though they just finished calling "Christendom" all kinds of filthy names for being Babble-On the Grape).
Nu: Dragnet is Hojovahs Witlesses. Lord be Praised!
Leaven:
Old: Leaven is bad.
Nu: Leaven is Hojovahs Witlesses. Lord be Praised!
Starting to notice a pattern?

Witnesses don't "demonstrate". This doesn't add up.

The Sunday meeting of Oct. 19 or 26 would work
I like the idea about the 95 Theses. It wouldnt' be too hard to come up with 95 Theses against the WT. Someone should start a thread on that.
