Bible Chapter Search Occurrences in Watchtower Library CD-ROM

on jwfacts, there is a quote that points the emphesis that the watchtower places on certain chapters of the bible.

5 chapters are mentioned specifically, with matthew 24 being the dominant occurance.

this chapter focuses on "the last days" as well as the "faithful and discreet slave.

Don'tplace, i would be willing, but i only have the '09 version. Would that be ok? I'm kind of leery trying to find and download the '10 version, because for some reason, getting the other one downloaded was really time consuming and problematic. Maybe i was using the wrong links, don't know what i'm doing, etc. LOL. I'd love to search the chapters of the Gospel of John. What a great idea!

Question about Circuit Assemblies from a Mom Who's Daughter Converted

by AuntBee in

hi guys, i found a link that was posted here a while back, that had recordings of a ca in december, 2010.

(thanks) now, my friend would like to listen to all of it, as her college daughter just attended one here in arizona recently.

our question is - how similar are they to each other?

AuntBee

Wobble: LOL, great suggestions! I just listened to one of the talks from the CA, and i was jarred when the speaker said "the blood of Christ" because it was in the verse he wanted to get some other point from. But he moved on quickly from that, and only expounded on the other part of the verse that seemed to support his point. -- Also it stood out to me the UNBELIEVABLE repetitiveness of the talks. I've been to 2 conventions and listened to some talks online, and as those on here say, they have only a few points they hammer OVER and OVer. And of course, it's all LAW, no GOSPEL.

OK. Thanks, that's what i thought. I just wanted to confirm that for her, so she knows she'll be getting the scoop on what the daughter heard.

I see that it's like conventions, in that all the talks use the same basic outline. So, would it be safe to say that the talks have VERY much the same content from place to place?

thanks, auntbee

WTBTS "uses" heroes of church history only when it suits them to make a point

by AuntBee in

" god raised up bold champions for his word, among whom were luther, zwingli, melanchthon, wycliffe, knox and others.

" (divine plan of the ages) um...hello??

bold champions for his word?

AuntBee

DIng: That would make a good youtube, someone studying the Reformers, because they were bold champions of God's Word. And then maybe they'd be reproved or something.

Wobble: Do you know what year those articles were published, were they in the WT? I do have the cd, maybe i can find it.

AuntBee

" God raised up bold champions for his Word, among whom were Luther, Zwingli, Melanchthon, Wycliffe, Knox and others." (Divine Plan of the Ages) Um...hello?? Bold champions for His Word? I thought they were deluded trinitarians completely out of step with Jehovahs Organization (wherever it was at the time), observing pagan holidays, not politically neutral (Zwingli died on the battlefield) and weighed down with various babylonish practices!!

I also love that chart saying that Luther was one of the seven messengers of the church, along with a few other Trinitarians, and Arius and Russell. ROFLMAO.

I don't know any statistics, but we have a close friend who is a native Hawaiian, and he has commented that there are "a lot." That is his perception, FWIW.
