  hubby is now giving 5 days a week to the cult.

  they see more of him while he is awake than i do.

  when he is home he is either sleeping or in his office on his computer.

  If I said to my wife lets take off away from home for a few days on vacation, then perhaps she would avoid meetings. It's the only time to unwind and relax.

  I am trying to get my wife out. She attends all meetings, CA's, DA's and when she gets a day off her work she's in field circus. She's tired all the time and running for the cult just adds to the stress.

  OMG! They Really Have Run Out Of Ideas!

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yes, i know that the watchtower ran out of ideas a long time ago but things have really gotten bad.. take a good look a the january wt and awake.

  the watchtower is a rehash of the new tract (about death) and the awake is about their jw.org website.. good grief!

  when do they finally declare these rags doa and give them a decent burial?.

  To keep this Generation doctrine moving is like beating a dead horse. The WT$ should scrap it. I mean how many ways can the GB twist it.

  I wish the congregation would announce all Co's will be eliminated. We will be having only one day CA's and two day DA's. lol

  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.
