Warning - Independent thinking alert - shut down all systems
by donny ini have a jw in my employ and he is overall a good person, but i am frequently reminded how controlled a jw mind is when it comes to reason.
i was in my office with my jw associate when another co-worker (cw) came in and they got into a discussion of bible versions.
it went like this.. cw - well i use the king james version most of the time.

Oops! I did it. I really did it. I expressed my opinion as a newbie on JWN.
Not only that but I put into question a dimwitted comment by a forum elite.
What will happen now?
Will I be snuffed like so many newbies, thrown to the firy despondency of
the breast of Moloch never to be heard from again?
Where all my fellow newbies have gone to grit their teeth!
Where the sun doesn't shine and the cold of silent thoughts chills one to the bones.
Where one isn't even allowed 10 posts a day and 1 new topic?
Ah, doggone it now I've made this a "long post as well".

OUTLAW the tranlitteration of God's name as Jehovah is just one version of how to represent the name in English.
Whether you use Jehovah or Yahweh, or Yehowah, or even Yahowah or Yahwah, like some Messianic Christians, they are all made up forms just like Jesus and Jeremiah, Josiah and Jehu etc. etc.
Ancient Hebrew didn't use vowels in their alphabet. At most they'd use some of the consonants to hint at a vowel sound like using Y for I and E, and H for A and E or W for O and U.
The pronunciation of Hebrew also changed over time and there are signs in the Hebrew Scriptures that there were dialectal pronunciation differences among the Israelite tribes even before the Royal period.
So to use IEHOVAH and IESUS in Latin is perfectly ok linguistically speaking since these are just representations of a foreign word into another language with a different alphabet. They are at best aproximations of the sounds and not supposed to be exactly as pronounced.
So I wouldn't go around calling the poor Spanish monk a dimwit, you dimwit.

Elder says that there're apostates who are organized in Spain
by cattails inan elder said that there are apostates organized in spain to make the sale of the spanish branch money go to the congregations that provided the funds.
he has photos of the place from an email and had heard this from a circuit overseer who just visited there.
has anyone heard confirmation of this?.

Thanks for your replies ML and Coco.
I'll try to get more info, by asking so what came out of that thing that was happening in Spain... but I have to play it cool and not seem too interested if you know what I mean. I'd figured someone here would probably know something too maybe.

Is it wrong to change your religion flyer
by boyzone ini typed a flyer on this subject the other day but not sure how to get it to the relevant people.
i could post it to elders but i know it'll be thrown as soon as opened.
i could pin it to the kh door but the hall servant will be the first to see it and throw it before anyone else gets there.

AGB you have a very imaginative mind. Sick and twisted perhaps, but very imaginative.
