Someone posted that these Bibles won't be available until the end of next year. This means that those Slaves that were invited to the Meeting are even more privelaged having received a copy of this illustrated book. They'll be able to flash it around in front of the under privelaged slaves. A bit like the Kings guests being served Kobe Beef whilst the servants eat sausages.

No doubt, the Bethelite Slaves were ordered to keep silent about this as they were slaving day after producing it.

One of those photos shows images and is even headed as images. As I mentioned on another post, it is no different to having these images in their most holiest books than having pictures or carved objects displayed inside a Church. I think whoever decided to call these bible pictures 'images' is having a good laugh.

In that image that is being shown in the photo, I wonder why they have a young boy dangling a fish in front of him.

But what is interesting is the amount of cost the Watchtower is willing to go to, not to do their most important work of baptising people/recruiting them but for those that are already captive in the organization.

They've put images in their new study bible.

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?

by nowwhat? in

just wondering hate to give the devil his due.

Listener

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)😳
