Coptic John 1:1 makes it into the Watchtower.
by slimboyfat inwt november 1st has a two page article on how the early sahidic coptic version of the new testament translated god with an indefinite article in john 1:1 and argues this supports the new world translation's rendering "and the word was a god".
online witness apologists have been using this piece of evidence in support of the nwt for a few years now.
in particular solomon landers promoted the coptic version of john 1:1 in discussions with evangelicals and other who oppose witness theology.

Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 09-28-08 WT Study (SUCCESS)
by blondie in*** 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?.

i now study the bible with various groups.by viewing this watchtower i can see the r and f are not spiritually fed but are led to do what the wts society wants them to do.the only people who join up are ones with no bible knowledge.how many serious bible students ever made them their choice?

thanks for your comments.it finally hit me.what a mind controlling instrument the watchtower study is.read the paragraph -answer the question from the paragraph.i could sense the relief in the audience when it was finaly over.i also got a kick out of how some would interject there own rigid views into their comments.now that i am progressing in rel bible truth-i can see right through their format of the lesson.gods wrath is waiting for you if you do not do what they are bringing out.salvation depends on obedience to the wts.

607bce or 586/587 bce ? which is it?
by Number1Anarchist inok this is very difficult for me because i just started studing this question.
what i would like to know is what have you decided from your studies and does anyone know the statistics on how many beleive in the 607 dat and how many beleive in the 586/587 date.. the watchtower likes to say they agree with the 607 because that number is based on the bible when the 586/587 is based on secular history.. from what ive read so far the mojority thinks it to be 586/587 because most searches ive done give me that date.. what have you come up with in your research?
i feel like you almost need to be a scholar to figure this out.

pastor russell counted backwards from 1914-607 to come up with that date -2520 years of the gentiles.

New Light - July 15, 2008 SE of the WT - Sower and Seed - another angle
by independent_tre ini've seen the topic where they try to explain invisible growth, but something else about this wt magazine stands out.
if this isn't adulterating the word of god, i don't know what is.
the wts has done it again and managed to usurp jesus' position and interject themselves into his place.

Parents with JW Adult Children Shunning Them - How Are You Coping ?
by flipper ini do understand your plight - as i have 2 adult jw daughters shunning me aged 21 and almost 20. they married witness boys 2 years ago and it's been 1 year since i've spoke with my younger daughter, 5 months since i went to coffee with my older daughter.
i call them, but they won't return my calls.
i tell them i love them, but it's as if i don't exist.

i think if you keep strong and steadfast -in time the wts will crumble and they will have someone to run to..

pioneers on paper are quite common as are hefty donations to the society.. .

Google, Apple & how Next Gen INTERNET will DECIMATE the Watchtower Society
by jwfacts inthink the early 80's.
one of the most important events in watchtower history was the release of crisis of conscience by former governing body member f. franz.
slow distribution of this "apostate" book lead to a minor loss of members.

when i was doing the reinstatement process-i took a peek at the apostate sites.i obtained the crisis of conscience book and have learned the truth about the wts.if there was not an intranet i would be back at the kh.

Faking it or Making it..SCREWED by the Watchtower Society in 75'
by Terry inin 1975 the watchtower society woke up and they weren't in paradise.. they turned over and pulled the sheets down to see what lay beside them in that cheap motel room called the day after.. they had said all the right words.
they made all the right moves.
they had made their bed and now they were lying in it.
