  They've put images in their new study bible.

  https://i.redd.it/xtvid3q0cwq31.jpg

  They used to have a go at the Catholics for having images all around their Church, they are doing no different themselves by putting it in their Bible.

  I just checked on JW org under their 'JW news' and there is no mention of the annual meeting, including their 'new light', building for 1,000 JWs and their study bible. No doubt it is to make those who were invited to attend feel special. But also, it is a boost to their ego as they flash around their new bible and 'leak' information from the meeting.

  It speaks volumes of what the Watchtower is.

  I enjoyed your comments Newshhep.

  I didn't know that Sanderson claimed he was anointed as a teenager although I'm not at all surprised. I imagine he craves the attention.

  The Great Tribulation must be at least 3 years away

  by BourneIdentity in

  since they’ve announced the dates for the next 3 memorials, no talk about this “may be our last one!”.

  since they’ve announced the patterson construction project will take 3 years to complete.

  let’s also not forget when they designed warwick, they spent money on expensive energy saving technology to save millions in the long run, years and decades in the future.

  Notsurewheretogo It makes me wonder how they managed to get it so wrong 30 years ago that they already need an extreme makeover.

  I went to a thrift shop in an old Church the other day. It would have been about 80 years old and built from timber, even the old benches within the main hall. It was very simple yet extremely durable to last so many years and many more with little upkeep at a minimal cost. It is obvious that the Watchtower uses its buildings for ulterior motives.

  I like how you call it an "extreme makeover" as it reminds me of what is needed of their whole doctrinal beliefs. It's incredible that they will call in thousands of people and request millions of dollars for this project but can't do the same to revamp their teachings to be more in accordance with the Bible. Obviously it's not their priority.

  We've got a central vac system and I've never used it, the hose is really long and seems cumbersome. We've got two stories as well. I never thought of buying another hose for upstairs.

  I just use an extension cord on the vacuum we've got. I'll have to give the central vac a go.

  Now I'm getting Dyson ads popping up.

  A couple of years ago I bought a cheaper clean air filter vacuum. It's great but I couldn't believe the amount of air filters that need cleaning once I closely inspected it. Most of them aren't listed in the instructions. It's no wonder they stop working or the suction goes a lot of the time.

  I watched a YouTube on cleaning the inside if a sewing machine, again there are places to clean that I had no idea about.

  It's well worth looking after stuff if you know how.

  Did Russell come up with the no hell fire and no Trinity doctrine or did steal that belief from another religion as well?

  It is reasonable to believe that Russell stole the idea of no hell fire and no trinity from other religions. Whether these are bible truths or not does not negate this being the case.

  It is reasonable to conclude this due to the doctrines he taught in other matters that did come from other people/religions. That includes the calculations used for his doctrine of 1874 and 1914.

  Long haired Girl, a cast iron frypan is fantastic as long as it is kept seasoned (oiled) but it is heavy. We went backed to using a strong stainless steel frypan. The trick is to heat it up before cooking and it's great but it does use a bit more oil.

  My husband uses the frypan mostly, for bacon and eggs. When we had the non stick pans he still used oil because he said the pan lasts longer and he was right (as usual)😳

  Rubadub- Dishes that don't need to be washed.

  Lol, I'll have a dozen of those. On second thoughts, they'll probably turn out to be paper plates.

  I love to see these gadgets turn up at the thrift stores, if they manage to last that long in the first place. If I'm intrigued, I'll get it.

  hi there i am not a jw but i am having bible study.

  i came to christianity a few months before and i was searching for the right path.

  one of the things god spoke to me about and directed me in was to do away with all the vanity that was in me and now i wear the head covering and the modest dresses.

  Loverifgod, if you feel wearing a headcovering is important in your worship of God then who is man to tell you that it is wrong? Beware of serving men rather than serving God.
