NWT 2013

by truthlover in

the old nwt contained a byline that indicated westcott and hort was used in the translation of this bible.

(they are not mentioned in the 2013 release) but you and i both know that their wordings in scripture remain in the new release.. if you check their background, you will find some serious issues with these translators which the society used.

has anyone googled wh for their spiritual qualifications to include them in the nwt??

Thanks Bobcat, took a look at the information...

Lee:

I did not say WH was a translation, I said it was used in the translation by the society ... but I wondered if there was any history of WH being inspired, etc. to be used by them to put out that translation ... there has never been anyone listed as being used as translators, knowing Greek, Hebrew, etc. There have been rumors but never any fact out of the society.

Wilmington Delaware Media report in another Topic

by truthlover in

sexual abuse by a female member of a 14 year old in the congregation and elders being sued by the county --- now that co's are liable for the elders only - does that mean the elders will lose everything if fines are levelled against them, since the society has washed their hands and separated themselves by setting the co in place??

This pot of stew is getting thicker and thicker, thanks for all insights

Thanks tim

I thought that since the CO was the decision maker re the choosing of an elder now based on congregation elders appointing new elders, that the society had removed themselves from the equation and left the CO out to hang if such cases were to occur.....setting the congregation elders up for loss of home, etc.

along with the congregation and the hall

Somewhat along Contis settlement since the congregations, the elders and the society was listed as defendants

Umbertoecho:

When you are young are trained to respect the "older men" - never to question what they do - keep humble - brother this and brother that- low education - low self esteem -- then the field is ripe to be abused... that is not your fault!

Everything that has happened was not your fault - every day you will get stronger, you will stand tall, you can overcome... the despair will make way for some happiness, not always, but there are going to be times when you feel as if you have conquered those fears.

The distrust you feel will probably always be with you but that can be a protection as well... many things happen throughout our lives and we can learn and grow from that. Many wishes to you and your will to challenge those who have controlled and manipulated your life. You are now free from that grip and willing to so something about it. That takes guts!! All the best.

State lawsuit against Jehovah's Witnesses

by Coded Logic in

the first of many lawsuits?.

(edited).

november 09, 2015. wilmington, delaware the attorney general's office is suing elders of the sussex county congregation for not reporting an unlawful sexual relationship between a woman and a 14-year-old boy, both of whom were congregation members.. state law requires any person, agency, organization or entity who knows or in good faith suspects that a child is being abused or neglected to call a 24-hour hotline.

truthlover

Now back up --- the WTBTS is no longer on the book for this are they?? That is why the CO's are now over the elders and the congregations... so is this the case that the ELDERS will have to pay if fines are levelled against their action -- taking their homes, etc???

Anyone have insight into this?

Thanks

Are single sisters happier?

by Esmeralda001 in

this question is for the ladies out there, but if you are a man and you'd like to share your thoughts on the following topic you are welcomed to do so.

given the wt society's view on women, did any of you ladies gave up on the idea of getting married "in the truth".

in such case, did you sometimes feel that you were missing out?

truthlover

NON witness parents, that should be

Your non wine--tness parents would be allowed at your wedding,th e more witness they can give to a worldly person. wow! and here they are in the hall- they cant leave so have to sit through the ceremony - the jw you would marry could have association with those parents-- just attended a memorial for a young gal who was living with a guy, a non witness, yet her mom had studied, and the talk was given by an elder to a packed crowd of worldlies - about 200.... they received a sermon about 20 minutes in length....

so wherever you are living, some things have changed depending on the elders

and yes, I am single and loving it - keep busy otherwise
