  All hail the Governing Body and God's Corporation

  by mindnumbed in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  an annual meeting is a legal requirement for a corporation.. the watchtower annual meeting (agm) is a legal event that has become the biggest spiritual event of the year, overshadowing what is supposed to be the most important event, the memorial of christ's death.. praise be to the governing buddies who sit on the throne of christ..

  Best thing non-JWs and ex-JWs could do for JWs is to not look the other way, not ignore the WT, not go off and start their own cult.

  But the best thing would be to help JWs see the WT for what it really is. A real-estate holdings and publishing corporation operating under the umbrella of being a non-profit religious organization that uses mind control techniques to provide itself with free volunteer workers labor for its own ends.

  To walk away from exposing the truth about The Truth(R) is to allow it to harm others as we were harmed.

  If we can do anything to help stop the WT from doing more harm then the right and moral thing is to step up and do so in whatever fashion we are able.

  Adam: OMG, WTF Eve?!!

  by laverite in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the new [revised] nwt (n-nwt) apparently has simplified, contemporary language that can be understood by the people of today (with 13% less clutter, and fewer references to kidneys) who are now contemporaries of the 1914 generation.

  i can only imagine some of the newly revised passages (starting with a conversation between adam and eve after the big oopsie).i know the pdf version will be online soon.

  i do wonder about the full searchable version on jw.org and when that will go live.

  Other than confirming the Grey NWT rumors the whole AGM is a complete disappointment and a step further into cultish worship of the GB "sooper-stars".

  My JC was a week ago. I didn't go. But I know that a JC isn't guided by H.S.

  If the scriptures say stop judging or else you may be judged, how is it they persist on judging?

  AuntConnnie's posts are Con's...

  Mostly trollish rants by a presumed super-Dub whose pharisaic statements are meant to get a rise out of JWN/JWD readers.

  JW New Bible

  by JW GoneBad in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there's a lot of rumble in the grapevine of jws that there difinitely is a new bible that 'mother' is releasing at the upcoming agm.. it would be awesome if we could get a sneak peek at some of the changes.

  sure would be nice if some of the lurkers on this forum who work at bethel in the writing, shipping or printing department could help us out.

  this would really irritate 'mom'!.

  I would like to see both the old and new versions put into a word processor to identify every change.

  To do this is would be good to get the text from JW.org and put it into a txt file.

  Then when the new Bible is released go back to the site and download the update.

  Change this to a txt and then filter both files to compare.

  GOD I hope they lose...

  I second that! If it does continue I hope the WTS falls flat on their nasty big brother face and has to shelve out the big bucks.

  When they finally lose I hope some major TV network news program does an indepth expose' and puts the WTS dirty laundry on the air.

  If this encourages further lawsuits against the WTS so much the better!

  Good Friend of mine gets a response to his letter about Russell...

  by confusedandalone in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so a good friend of mine who had an issue with the fact that charles taze russell was given the understanding of 2520 and 1914 etc.. and was not of the faithful slave.

  he asked how could it be possible that jah would bless someone who was not part of his organization to have such understanding after reading the july 15 wt.

  he read me the letter as a way to help me understand and accept the watchtower.

  I've seen others reframe issues and stay on message but the Witnesses seem to excel at it.

  Yup! I agree, just like the Pharisees of old they are the masters of hypocrisy and double-talk.

  How do you know the WTS is reframing issues and twisting the Bible to suit their agenda?

  When they publish anything. Bunch of vipers in the writing dept. to start with!

  Send them a chapter of CoC with a link to get the eBook from Amazon.

  Choose a chapter that really helped you open your eyes to TTATT.

  For me it was the chapter on Mexico vs. Malawi and the un-Christian double standards that "mother" Watchtower's hierarchy has which ruin peoples' lives.

  there wouldn't have been any good way to hear the news i suppose.

  it's just so strange to recall the conversation yesterday.

  my "still in" parents are with me and my inactive sister having a pleasant conversation.

  NEW BIBLE RELEASE

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  had a brief chat with an elder from a distant congregation today: long story short - he has spoken to "someone" at london branch regarding the 'famine' of bibles within the org, and was told by this "someone" to just wait until nearer the end of this year.. he said it sounds like we're going to get an announcement via the annual meeting!!.

  i said that it was strange that two world wars, the spanish 'flu, the wall street crash & the great depression couldn't stop the society producing bibles, so something major must be causing it now.. does anyone have any more info on the new york court action against the wtbts and the nwt writing committee?.

  Here's GB member Pierce with a new edition NWT copy on hand.

  This is the prototype that some DOs and COs and others of the Bethel Priviligentsia got to try out.

  I had a chance to thumb through it and the only content change I noticed was the addition of appendices that had only previously appeared in Reference Bible and KIT editions.

  The cover was of soft grey leather and the edges were gilt in silver.
