the wt march 2017, p.11, par.
13 quotes ephesians 4:8 as saying, "the bible refers to them as 'gifts in men.
however, the org's own kingdom interlinear translation (and every other bible translation) gives a truthful translation of the verse: .
Boy do I detest the way they twist the scriptures to serve their own crooked ends. That one is a particular pet hate of mine, they love to puff themselves up and glorify themselves...because it is themselves, and those of their ilk, they refer to with their much vaunted gifts in men. I'd like to give them a gift...right in the backside.
"When he ascended on high,
he took many captives
and gave gifts to his people.” One of many crooked translations.
march study edition says we should show honer to people in general that includes df ones great now i can smile and show honer to them by speaking to them and not shunning them..
Poopie I thought you were trying to say boner !!
Poopie is the long-time staunch anti shunning campaigner no.1. Always a pleasure and brings a smile to my face despite the seriousness of the subject you so rightly rail against.
i told him i communicate with my dog, my dog informed me that the cute little french poodle two doors south is a slut.
my orange tree is not producing fruit this year, so i cursed it and told it i want you out of yard.and then i told him the other day i was at the race track (horses) and while passing the stables old turkey told me he will win his race today.
what do you think my psychiatrist diagnose for me.
I was going to say I think your psychiatrist would diagnose you with messiah complex😣!
Edit: you're definitely not human if you think everyone's evil except your family, it's usually the other way around!!
if in the wts earthly-paradise fantasy, the wolf won't eat no more the lamb and they will be the best friends, will human continue to kill lambs to eat?.
the earthly paradise is vegan?.

just wondering.
Not surprising the Burundi folk who learned to read were adult women, they were probably already Witnesses pressured to read in order to improve their preaching work, since there are so many more female Witnesses than male. I obviously think it's a very good thing that poor women learn to read . I just worry that instead of improving their lives, they will be emotionally blackmailed into wasting their small amount of free time in 'service to Jehovah'.

hi guys.. "brother" jose is quite possibly the most sinister speaker i've ever seen or heard.
and i've seen/head a lot of cults in my time.. he's over the top with his voice tone and gestures.
i see a future governing body member in the making here:.
Ok, I think we have the END truly in site here folks. Brother Jose is definitely the one to lead us to paradise, just like brother Jim Jones did.😱
I now predict the org will go out with a bang, not a whimper. He'll be the one to wack the last few doddering GB members over the back of the head and declare the new light - The Church of Jose's Witnesses!

the key to youth appears to be in the blood plasma – the liquid part of blood.
several studies have found that injecting plasma from young mice into old mice can help rejuvenate the brain and other organs, including the liver, heart, and muscle.. blood has the power to turn back time.
Ooooo, Madame Bartholey, the Hungarian Countess responsible for the deaths of many virgins - she would bathe in their blood to keep herself looking young and beautiful -WAS RIGHT!!
Only thing she had wrong, she didn't inject it. She was apparently walled up alive in her castle as punishment. Wonder if the virginity of your victim makes any difference?!😜; )
during the book study which is basically a book all about the history of "gods organization" ©.
a paragraph that hit me like a ton of the proverbial bricks was this.... 9 first, jehovah’s servants came to have the proper view of the importance of god’s name.
faithful early bible students viewed the ransom arrangement as the bible’s main teaching.
Oh but my poor dear mistaken boy, the Bibles main teaching is the vindication of correction of his bad reputationJehovah's name whoops I mean the declaration of his big bet with Satan universal sovereignty
Jesus? Where have I heard that name before?
