  The 1950s NWT (1984)

  2. bible

  i did a video on this subject once but feel this is a noteworthy topic.

  to be honest the old nwt has come under sonsiderable attack from fundie morons attacking it's nt which was translated with a few revisals in 1950.the truth is john 1:1 and 8:58 and other texts, though despite being odd, are within the translation rules as are the inclusion of the word {other} since this was stated in the forward as an interpolation.

  jehovah in the nt is odd but certianly lacking as other translations have added more yhwh.. so the ot?

  But I do not excuse his scholarly dishonesty to prove a doctrinal point. A good example is Jer. 29:10 in order to prove the 1914 date

  That's because Fred Franz was never a scholar. A talented amateur for sure, but no scholar else he would have taken his scholarship more seriously.

  This is an interesting piece from Biblical scholar Dr. Robert M. Price (love him!) about Jehovahs Witnesses translation of the Bible and whether the Arc Angel Micheal could really be Jesus. See timestamp 39:16

  (Also v funny if you go a little earlier his favourite comedic bits of the Bible)

  BBC are saying it happened “NEAR” a church. I can’t believe how they are willing to lie...my father worked for the beeb for years and I used to trust it so much. When David Attenborough dies that’s it for my license fee!!!!

  stude 138 this week is about jesus ruling; seen standing in heaven, sitting at the right hand, standing up for his people, sitting down again for judgement, riding ---but the portion, what he is actually biblical doing right now, col. 1:13 was never read or discussed.

  even the whole section of the book's article was not read!.

  next month jws are covering the land with their kingdom of 1914 and soon panda paradise saga, but will deaden into silence the ~ 2000 year old real possible kingdom of --- love.. was the whole chapter 138 read in your zoom room?

  What's the Latest re How JW's are Associating and Preaching?

  i've been out of the loop for a while so some things have passed me by.

  so i'm curious how jw's are affected by the covid virus.

  are they still preaching or having meetings etc?.

  Are they actively pushing Covid as a sign that the End is Near ( again ) ?

  Jan

  Yes Jan. I've heard on this board of uninterested non believing mates suddenly going to meetings and studying for baptism! A GB member has done morning worship on the subject, claiming they're not surprised and have been predicting this for years...indeed it's a good time because the pandemic proves the GT is close! So yes, they are using COViD to claim Armageddon is close.

  But then Watchtower does that with any & everything.

  • The travel/dressing time is reduced. And it is far easier to get a drink and snack or browse something

    Road to nowhere I'd put a tv next to my browser (out of sight)&and just watch something else...all the time looking like I'm watching the zoom meeting😜

  Just to say if you still have faith Borean pickets have their own zoom meetings.

  I agree you need to speak with your Dad and get his permission to stay. He is under no obligation to shun you as he isn't baptised. Maybe show him JWfacts and get him thinking. Tell him he needs to do his research before he gets baptised.

  Tell him what kind of man Rutherford was. Would Jesus have chosen him to lead his one true org in 1919?

  I recommend buying him Crises of Conscience and asking him to read it. I promise he will never get baptised once he's read that book.

  If all else fails....@Cookiemaster sounds promising !!!

  wt organizationthimk (last week's study)

  by waton in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for those who want to see how bad it really is, 2 thoughts: .

  1) the article says "jehovah" gave gifts in men, but the bible in gal: 6 clearly mentions the one who ascended into heaven as the one, jesus, their reigning king, that does provides these " the captives.. of course when wt writers say jehovah they really mean the wt society.

  and local elders, ms, really are wt appointees, now done by the co, a man with no assets.

  More Watchtower twisting scriptures to control people, brag and glorify themselves.

  Prime Minister of Australia announces intention to revoke Jehovah’s Witnesses charity status

  by jwleaks in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  today, marking the second anniversary of the australian national apology to victims and survivors of institutional child sexual abuse, the prime minister of australia has announce in federal parliament the intention to place sanctions against the jehovah’s witnesses in relation to child sexual abuse.. quote from prime minister:.

  the royal commission [into institutional response to child sexual abuse], the [national] apology [to victims and survivors of institutional child sexual abuse] and these yearly reports are about accountability: bringing the truth into the light ... we still have, reprehensibly, four institutions that have been named publicly and that have blatantly refused to join the redress scheme.

  they are jehovah's witnesses ... it's not acceptable.

  400When it comes to money they will find a way around it. Move Aussie operations to NZ maybe and donations to the US. Who knows?

  Yup. They'll find some way. They'll get JWs to donate directly to the US fund online or some such.

  As to the reasons for not joining its nothing to do with finances.

  It's the whole "interfaith" thing, for one. Not admitting publicly they have a problem and not wamting the faithful to know their donations are going to pay off paedophile cases.

  But the absolute priority for Watchtower is to protect their reputation among rank and file Jehovah's Witnesses.

  They must maintain the pretense that they are special and different to other religions, or bang goes their claim that they are Jehovahs organization.

  Without that illusion they are, and have, nothing.
