Changing verses in the new RNWT to suit an agenda

by freddo in

it's increasingly obvious to me that part of the reason for the "new" rnwt of 2013 is to increase the authority of the organisation and the gb.

yes, the old one was becoming dated but they have taken opportunities (liberties?

) with translation to increase their control.. an obvious one is micah 6 v 8 where "to cherish loyalty" has replaced "and to love kindness".

Nice find FedUpJW - (Exodus 20:5) - that footnote is neither in the 2013rnwt or the 2013rnwt study edition on line,

New Member Of The Governing Body 24 Jan 2018

by pale.emperor in

just seen this announced on reddit:.

ken cook was announced today at morning worship as the new member of the governing body.

i dont recall him from the broadcasts, but he was formally a helper on the writing committee as per https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/governing-body/.

Over on JWTalk someone called "Doug" wrote ...

"A funny thing happened while typing this . . . My autocorrect changed Bro. Cook to Bro. Cool. How cool is that !?!"

Well I suppose it could have changed "Cook" to "Cock" or "Gook" or "Coon" but that might not be viewed as "Cool", hmmmmm?

I've Disassociated. It's getting announced tomorrow.

friends

this is my first post to this site, im pale.emperor's brother:).

first of all, i've left being a jw in june.

since then my family have tried to convince me it's "the truth" and force me to go back even though it's my own decision.

freddo

Welcome Dan! I'm so glad you and your brother have each other. You will feel up and down and wretched at times but small steps will get you where you need to be.

So your "carer" is threatening to sue you? Just shows how much he really "cared" for you. He has no chance. Don't worry about it.

I am no medical man but so many on here and other forums say how their illnesses, anxieties and depressions have improved immeasurably by being away from JW's and their twisted mantra.

Best of luck to you!

Greetings Mr. 50% Yellowfruit,

I am a Nigerian Princess whose father was cruelly murdered before he could escape cruel tyranny with our family savings of $10,000,000,000,000 (Ten Trillion USD).

Would you please send me just $1,000,000 (One million USD) so I can get the paperwork in order to release it quickly through very costly court cases.

I am a true Christian girl and very beautiful and hope to find an honest Christian man (looks not important) to love me tenderly.

Please wire the dough err ... please expedite funds through Western Union to P.O. Box Mboto Gorge, West Africa.

Thank you my loved one.

I wonder if his wife "became anointed" at the same time?

Conclusion - "loyalty" is highlighted to increase loyalty to "them".
... ... ... ... ...

Another is Acts 15 v 19 which is part of the circumcision decision. WT maintains this was by the "1st Century Governing Body". It wasn't - it was James.

Acts 15 v 13 - 19 says that James made the decision after listening to others including Peter, Paul and Barnabas. But look how that has been "watered down."

nwt Acts 15 v 13 "After they quit speaking, James answered, saying: “Men, brothers, hear me. ..."

Acts 15 v 19 "Hence my decision is ..."

revisednwt Acts 15 v 13 "After they finished speaking, James replied: “Men, brothers, hear me."

Acts 15 v 19 "Hence my decision* is ..." (note the asterisk now added for a footnote where none existed before which reads: Or "opinion.")

And the "Interlinear" ...

Acts 15 v 13 "I am judging ..."

James made the final decision so it not the "first century governing body" was it?

Have you got any other examples to add to this thread please?

"Wondrous expansion is now taking place!"

by stuckinarut2 in

so we have all heard the worldwide reports about khalls being sold off and congregations being amalgamated etc.... of course, jws are being told that these actions are a sign of "just how much the work is progressing, and how jehovah is blessing the increase and expansion!".

i can share the following from my part of the world too!.

in perth, western australia the following has occurred.. three "new" congregations have been formed!

A few days ago a poster (sorry can't remember who) wrote: "If they told them from the platform that Jesus was Satan - they'd bob their heads and agree with it."

That is the mentality you're dealing with in Clowntown Jdubland.
