PSacramento: Spike,
Augmenting the BACKGROUND of the NT with the OT is just fine, REPLACING the meanings on the New Covenant with the meaning of the Old one is not.
Spike Tassel: what proof do you have of THAT, Paul?
my jw elder friend said to me that the nwt is the best translation of the bible and that scholars have said as much.
is this true and is it the best?
are there scholars who disagree?.

bluecanary asks [with emphasis mine]:.
in the past when god's chosen leader acted without his blessing, god corrected the individual/group in an obvious and miraculous way.

The Reasoning book has the correct answer under the topic FALSE PROPHETS, the subheading which is relevant [Have not Jehovah's Witnesses made errors in their teachings?] is on pages 136-137 of the 1989 copyrighted edition.
"unless they know and love jehovah first.

The Topic is the title, I suggest.

My question was for Paul, Isaac.
alltimejeff: the thread/topic is about how the gb legislates love, and a quote that was used in the drama at this years convention was very striking.
if there are any comments concerning how the gb both legislates who you can love and talk to, and how they legislate who can and cannot love you, that would be most welcome.. spike tassel: okay, here's the topic, properly titled.
it's all yours, atj..
the title speaks for itself

sorry
Just because Isaac or I may call something a "false prophecy", that doesn't mean that Jehovah considers it that way.
