  Something Is Screwy With WT's New Bible!

  by JW GoneBad in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  not sure if this has already been brought up.. it appears that the verses in matthew 21:29 and matthew 21:30 have been transposed from one translation to the other.. the 'old' nwt in vs 29 & 30 states:.

  'in answer this one said, "i will sir, but did not go out"'.

  verse 30 reads: 'approaching the second, he said the same.

  it seems in most congregations there is always the same personality types of brothers and sisters in each congregation.

  self righteous ones.

  holier than thou, exemplary, with dc/ca parts every year family.

  There are the socialites who are always having parties and only inviting "the beautiful people."

  Also there is a fashion monitor that goes around telling other sisters that their neckline is too low, hemline too high,telling the young brothers their hair is too long, they need to shave, etc.

  24 hour field service marathon ??

  by gingerbread in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  field service for up to twenty-four hours non-stop.... it's a bit of a fad in our area with pioneers - the twenty somethings especially.

  we've heard from other family members and a jw friend that it's a thing in their part of the country as well.. it sounds like a group decides on a day and then piles into a van or suv to 'work' the territory - 12, 18 and even 24 hours.. anyone else hearing of this?.

  The young ones in our area would load up in a van and head down the interstate, stoping at truck stops and gas stations. The would turn around after twelve hours and work the other side of the interstate. Everyone in the van counted 24 hours. It was mostly for easy time and socializing.

  There have been articles in the Watchtower and Awake explaining why Jehovahs Witnesses are NOT a cult. BUT if they were NOT a cult, they wouldn't HAVE to have these articles.

  This is so sad what happened to this family. The Watchtower has to be brought down, brick by brick, piece by piece.
