  Will recent dress-code changes affect the WTS negatively?

  by Wonderment in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in a span of a few months time, we have had many unexpected changes announced by the jw organization.

  some here have expressed the belief that a great number of witnesses will leave the religion.

  in fact, there is a great probability the opposite will be true.. yeah, ancient hardliners will have a hard time assimilating these changes, but the younger generation will likely welcome these changes.

  have you ever wondered why john 1.1 reads somewhat differently in koine and modern greek?

  i will briefly address this question for the curious ones.

  below you will find three greek readings, one from the nt greek text, followed by two modern greek versions: the nwt-2017 edition, and the other by spyros filos (wikipedia: a revision of the vamvas translation of the bible into the modern vernacular (demotic greek) by spyros (spiros) filos (σπύρος φίλος) was first published in 1994. this translation is used in the greek evangelical church and is also recognized by the orthodox church.

  One criticism of the NWT

  by Wonderment in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's no secret that forum members on this site are well aware that i tend to defend the nwt as a product in more than a few places.

  i, unlike some others here, do not view the version as unprofessional.

  i feel the translation is quite good.

  Philippians 2:5-9

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  he tells them to have the same attitude as christ.

  man was made in the image of god.

  these verses do not mean that because we are the image of god that we are god.

  My favorite Cooking Pot

  by Wonderment in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  although cooking pots are not directly "religious" subject, perhaps not many will deny that a happy belly can lead to wholesome religious thoughts and peaceful spiritual discussions.. that said, through the years i have tried most major brands of cooking pots - all the way from all-clad to cast-iron skilets - including some with the most extraordinary claims in between.. however, the one we have used the most in our kitchen is one brand from denmark, specifically, the 5 quart pot called "scanpan.

  " it is now approaching 40 years of daily use, and it has held-up surprisingly well.

  the handles are as tight as day one when we bought it.
