  They still have those cards on file. I stopped preaching on April 1, 2013 and I think I am on the Elder hit list. If they try a shepherding call on me I will most definitely refuse and say have a nice day.

  My interest in this revised NWT

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the biases of the earlier iteration of the nwt have been known and discussed from the appearance of the first appearance in 1950, and i assume the revised edition will be affected by the same prejudicial biases.

  one can cynically subscribe to the view that this is a financial bonanza and possibly a distraction from the imminent centenary of that distant significant date.. my interest will be to see how the impact of this revision evolves, particularly in the area of the wts's support material and on the impact its release will have on witnesses.

  some preliminary thoughts are:.

  I have the new NWT in my hand. I think it will take a Bible Scholar or an expert to decipher this book. When I read Revelation 19:1 it says "After this I heard what seemed to be a loud voice of a great crowd in heaven. Jeremiah 29:10 still has "at Babylon" and some other new wording. There is a new Appendix A ( A1 to A7) and Appendix B (B1 to B14). The Appendix A is loaded with new info to support WTS teachings. I am not set up to scan these pages. Maybe some one on JWN could do that. The book is high quality constructed but not all translated correctly. That is all I have for now.

  This is perfect timing for the GB to self praise. 3.5 hours of boring talks and don't forget the Warwick retirement acreage.

  Passing a resolution a painful experience

  by stillin in

  everybody knows it's going to pass.

  nobody ever asks if possibly that much money for the circuit overseer's whatever isn't a bit too much, or whatever else the congregation is being asked to agree to.

  then the call to raise your hand if in favor of doing the "right thing.

  We had a financial resolution back in February this year and I refused to put up my hand for or against. Well I got a taste of shunning after the meeting. The WT$ makes me sick. It's all about dollars and numbers.

  Are you fading mentally or physically?

  by gingerbread in

  2. friends

  i began my proactive 'fade' a couple of years ago.

  it was due to multiple events: observing (once again) another botched judicial decision, researching the origins of wt beliefs and organizational history & reading the bible by itself.. when the kids were young, i made every effort to get them to the meetings, out in service, study with them, read the bible story book, watch the videos and have plenty of parties with other witness kids.

  being raised in the 'truth', i felt this was the best way to teach them right from wrong.
