  From the Watchtower of February 1, 1989 pp. 27-30

  "In the third century B.C.E., Jewish scholars in Alexandria, Egypt, produced the Greek Septuagint version the Hebrew

  Scriptures, which came to be use by Greek-speaking Jews all over the world. In time the Jews stopped using it, but it became

  the Bible of the early Christian congregation. When Christian Bible writes quoted from the sacred Hebrew Scripotures, they used

  the Septuagint. The Chester Beatty papyri of the Hebrew Scripotures include 13 pages of the book of Daniel in the Septuagint.

  How long do JWs visit before giving up?

  by skeeter1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's like, how many people does it take to screw in a lightbulb...... so, i dropped by someone's house last weekend this person was raised in the watchtower cult, and has been around it for several decades.

  nice person, but not active in the meetings, never in service, and never baptised, etc.

  rarely goes to the meetings - perhaps once every 2 months.

  I'mjust waiting to see when or if I get a visit told several of them 2 MS for sure that i wont be going back to their hall for a variety of reasons one being the total lack of support we have gotten. No visits no calls nada, zip zero zilch. Told them we wont go to their hall anymore and wont visit another one for some time.

  Eff my JW (former) family and freinds... Eff em all

  by AZheat in

  2. friends

  i am sitting here writing this posting as a way of venting for all the frustration that i have been building up over the years of slavery to this beast called the wbts... i was a born in, and was denied all the normal things in life, i always felt left out as a kid, and even as a young adult.

  i was the only jw for most if not all of my school years, i was harrased, mocked, teased, and even pushed around, because i was taught to stand up for what i beleive in.

  th problem was, i didnt beleive it, i always felt there was something not right about the org.

  Those in the org are very conditinal friends, no dtd no friends, no kotowing to the mindless babble from brooklyn no friends, lose a spouse in death and to them you are as dead too. The idea of true love just doesn't exist in their cultic universe.

  Anyone wanna place a bet on what will happen to me when I have to go to the Kingdom Hall this Saturday??

  by Coffee House Girl in

  2. friends

  well since there is no "betting" (as it reeks of gambling) in jdub land, lets place a friendly wager on what will happen to me when i go to my father's "memorial" service at the kingdome hall this saturday..... to give you newbies background info: i am neither df'd or da'd- i left 2 years ago with no explanation.

  i have been hounded by elders in my cong because they have suspicions that i am living with a man, but they have no proof (well, no proof in jdub land- you know...two witness rule).

  after many attempts to get me to meet with them- i finally sent the elders a "cease & desist" letter after one of them spied in my miniblinds to see me eating breakfast with someone (they couldn't identify who).

  "B" they will try and love bomb you even though they don't give a s**t about you unless of course it is to try and get you back in their prison.

  What DO I think about Glenn Beck?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think of myself as 'moderate libertarian' if i must attach a lapel card.

  and i'm not sure that is entirely the correct one.. i endorse fiscal conservative thinking, believe in limited government, and a strong domestic defense policy.

  in these areas, i could find myself in agreement with the talk show host.

  Analysis: Did God Condone the Slave Trade

  by corpusdei in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is an analysis of an article published by the watchtower bible and tract society, entitled "did god condone the slave trade".

  of necessity (and partly because of my tendency to ramble) i do go beyond the article itself into a wider exploration of the subject matter in places.

  the article itself can be found on the wtbts website, here, and a pdf version can be found here.

  BONTR if god is with us now, then just like in anciet biblical times, there is genocide, rape, murder etal. he was supposedly with his chosen people then ande he is with them now (not). You can discern preceive his presence in and throughout the history of man. War still exists, etal.

  the rise and fall of an immense image & the ten toe dilemma?

  as Nathan pointed out about the toes, one also needs to ponder the important question of just which particular type/flavor of toe jelly resides between the toes, or does it not exist?
