Another problem for JW apologists

by Jeffro in

the 2013 edition of the new world translation renders 2 kings 17:1 as:.

in the 12th year of king ahaz of judah, hoshea the son of elah became king over israel in samaria; he ruled for nine years.. this is in fact a better rendering than the previous nwt, which stated:.

in the twelfth year of ahaz the king of judah, hoshea the son of elah became king in samaria over israel for nine years.. despite their improved rendering, the watch tower society still claims that hoshea's reign 'really' began in 758 bce, but that it was 'established' in the 12th year of ahaz.

Kingdom Ministry Feb 2014 has a couple interesting statements

by RayPublisher in

i thought the kingdom ministry feb 2014 had a couple interesting things in it:.

1. a short talk encouraging the jw sales force to publicize the jw.org website at every opportunity.. 2. do not put out bibles on your table displays keep them hidden underneath.

i thought they were so p-p-p-p-proud of their new nwt??.

A story about Reggie and Reginald... and why it makes me cringe... more vomiting

by confusedandalone in

so i grew up in new jersey in a very urban part of the state.

i literally only saw white folks if they were in a police car or if i went to the assembly.

the funny thing is at the assembly there was still a level of segregation as well although it was self-imposed.

We are different people at 40 compared to a teenager.. comparing the two is pointless really.

When I was 18 I had a car fail the MOT on a cracked front subframe, MOT man offered to weld it up, so I agreed and took it off and stripped it down and took it to him for him to weld up.

He welded it, I put it all back together and took the car back in for reMOT test. He failed it again as the suspension was still out of position slightly just as it was before he welded it up. I had to go buy a replacement subframe from a breakers yard and refit that on and re MOT it again.

I was annoyed but paid up and said very little about it.

If that happened now (which it wouldnt as I have learnt the lesson) I would just tell him to GTFO and not pay him for the retest.

Damn that is sad and pathetic, but they probably got it from their parents or others. No excuse, and yes I too would have regretted not saying anything at the time.

If you WANT to believe in these things you will. No amount of critical thinking or reason will overcome your bias.

So you think he saw a witch? Is that because you think you saw a magician too? Cool.

How about the simpler explanation of "I was wrong, I was mistaken"? Isnt that easier than the very real problem of supporting the supernatural claims with evidence and testable explanations.

Dont let pride get in the way of evidence and reason.
