the watchtower—study edition | march 2020. .
4 jesus taught us the importance of making peace with a brother who has something against us.
(read matthew 5:23, 24.
Actually our congregation could have been called “The Elder (wars) Scrolls”!!
Lots of squabbling elders. Thankfully not too bad with the flock, though. Unless you were foolish enough to take ‘sides’.
Mostly arguments about not paying for car prangs....there were lots of those with a tiny car park and terrible parallel parking out on the road.
oh and one mild fisticuffs over a girl...the boys weren’t baptised (I think...)
hi.
while there are many excellent web sites that explain a few jw nwt bible translation problems, are there any comprehensive lists of nwt scripture errors online please?.
thanks .
It’s a bit more complicated than simply a list as OTWO stated....although that’s a start.
The problem is, for example say Colossians 1:16-17, the infamous place in where Watchtower adds the word “other” (to infer Jesus was created) that in fact the King James has to also add the word “things” in English since there is no term for “things” in Greek.
So in a way many if not all translations into other languages “add” other words...they have to, for it to make sense.
are some of you scared that armageddon may be coming anytime?
lol.
just the thought and the picture in your head that anybody can get killed....>.<.
Funnily enough my reaction wasn’t fear when I thought about our “Armageddon“, I actually shed tears of sadness.
I saw Sir David Attenborough’s “Witness Statement” regarding global warming and the loss of habitat for our fellow creatures, the extinctions of such animals as the white Rhino....all during my own lifetime.
Its very, very sad.
a jp video came up on my youtube feed last week - he was on a panel in front of a huge audience and some poor disturbed guy ran on stage and started crying and wailing to peterson that he needed his help.
it was agonising to watch.. what was even more disturbing was the comments section.
i do not exaggerate when i say that dozens of people were extolling peterson's wisdom as if jesus had come again.
He reminds me MUCH to much of my first husband to even begin to be entirely taken in by this man.
He’s far more vulnerable than he makes out and is a rank hypocrite when it comes to religion. He’s rather egotistical and a true intellect would eat him for breakfast,
Fully agree he goes all around the houses(and back) to say absolutely nothing, not least when he’s asked a direct question about a subject he dare not be honest about for fear of alienating his audience. Also, loves the sound of his own,..etc
*I hope he doesn’t ever read this as it would only make his head even bigger than it is (literally and figuratively).
*the husband that is🤨
the daily wire.
facebook glitch reveals father, activist behind greta thunberg's facebook .... i'm not good at getting links right.
but this is interesting in light of greta supposedly doing things on her own according to dear old dad.
Road to nowhere I am still stockpiling fuel for the coming ice age.
If things get really dire do you all have any recipes for long pig
Hmmm I’ll ask my Polynesian husband....he tells me about the ancestral delights of ”Long Pig”😂😂😂
i appreciate all my friends who stop to read what i write and post.
you help me more than you know simply by being there as a sense of 'family of friends' for me to talk to and 'share' thoughts with.i guess if i didn't have stories left to tell or people to listen, i could pack it in and join elon musk in a colony on mars.january 15, 2020. .
which world is this?_________________when the doctor pulled my screaming body out of mom all those 7 decades ago, i landed in a post-wwii world.it was--compared to today's world--an alien planet.the world i live in today has nothing in common with the world in which i grew up.there were no cell phones back then--there were black telephones with a dial-tone and an operator who placed your call.everywhere you found telephone booths!
Terry you’re one of the most imaginative and compelling writers I have the pleasure to regularly read....and kinda know.
Happy Birthday!!!
PS. We still listen to Delta blues, jazz & classic repertoire in my house. We have long play records and a few shellac Elvis 78s. We purchase art and my son called me “ma’am” the other day, in fact does so on the regular.
We read literature and my sons have a better grasp of historic dates than I ever did😉 we know our neighbors but live in the city so, sadly, don’t have a porch. I also still listen to radio soaps.
so cheer up! It’s not all bad😂
amber gives a superb talk here.
i couldn't help but contrast her delivery - fluent , articulate , without any notes - not even a rostrum or podium to hide behind - with the numerous talks and items i heard when i was a jw.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7wfpaqcqcw.
i am reading her book " leaving the witness " just now - it is superb - i just can't put it down.
Excellent talk, But Dozy she's - gasp - a woman!
jim nelson's short 5 paragraph opinion piece in the helena independent record calls for a change to the law that allows perpetrating jehovahs witnesses to escape prosecution.
and the facilitators (watchtower in this case) to be held accountable.

“Unavailable for legal reasons”
Any chance of a cut and paste?
the co got on his hind legs for the public talk and repeated twice "tolerance promotes division".
then backed it up by saying that if one group march for some right, another group will march for the opposite.. so jws are intolerant and proud of it.
f@@@k me sideways.. may explain that the baptism tally was 0..
Dropofyourkeylee tolerance promotes division, then it follows that intolerance promotes unity. Maybe that’s true, but it’s not a world I want to live in.
Absolutely bloody Perfect👌
we had to go off grid for a time, time and half a time as we thought we had been outed.
fortunately it was a false alarm, but it was a stressful time.
i asked for my original diary thread to be deleted in case there could be anything on there to identlfy mrs smith and i. i am always very careful when posting, and am sure there was nothing on there, but felt it best to have it removed in order to be as cautious as a dove.
Wow! What a mega thread!
Waaaaaay way way Back in Time Machine❤
Hi there! I've been here about 4 years. Woke up with the ARC fully. I'm a bit scared to read all the replies in case I see some old friends no longer with us, and I get all emotional😥
Edit: just to say I'm so glad you got Mrs. Smith out, too.
