  i've been here forever.... this site still gives us some of the most up to date info about jws .

  sometimes it is the place to be and i think that's especially true for newbies.

  My little sister

  by Nika Bee in

  2. experiences

  my little sister is 14 years younger than me.

  she was always special to me, i took care of her, when my mother was working, i carried her around, i comforted her.

  we are very similar in our interests for music and literature.. she is in secondary school, an unbaptised publisher.. since i study in the us, we only see each other about once a year.

  She is in secondary school so that means she is a teenager now. She may be is influenced by her JW friends and may be getting baptised and feels she needs to do this. More questions than answers at this point.

  1) the signs of the times are qualified:.

  luke 21:.

  then he said to them: nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

  The Bible also says when Jesus returns that every eye would see him. The dubs say they were the only ones who noted Jesus second coming.

  How can both be correct? They cannot.

  i could go on and on about my personal journey over the last 2 years or so, but i don't need to.

  everything i needed to hear to finally lay my doubts to rest happened on one meeting night.

  it could only be divine providence.

  So let me get this straight...Jehovah God put the idea of a translating software system into the minds of the men who worked for The Watchtower Society so they could preach lies in even more languages throughout the inhabited earth? Why would he do that?

  Hubby went out in service today.

  i can't believe hubby and sis in law actually went out in service today.

  when he left this morrning i reminded him to inform those who didn't slam their doors on them that if they join your cult that this will be the last christmas, holiday and birthday they will be allowed to celebrate.

  i thought it very inapproiate going out today to knock on doors trying to get converts..

  I think it would indeed save the witnesses a great deal of time if they taught about the disfellowshipping, the shunning, the wardrobe/grooming police, the pedophilia and blood issue right on the first visit. That way they wouldn't be wasting time studying with anyone.

  Need scan of a Greber related letter

  2. scandals

  i keep finding references to the wts replying in a letter the following (a letter dated march 15, 1983) anyone know where i can get an actual scan of this?:.

  no doubt you have had opportunity to read the comments in our letter dated december 31, 1982, to brother jack gottfried, secretary of your congregation.

  in our letter we addressed the issue of the propriety of the society in quoting johannes greber's translation as an example of another translation that agreed with the new world translation.

  Where the need is greater: TTATT in Spanish

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems most of the us growth is in spanish-speaking territory, and of course, there is growth in the nations where spanish is the predominant language.

  most sites oriented around ttatt, are english-speaking.

  there seems then to be a great need for translators...for instance, imagine if there was a spanish version of www.jwfacts.com.. unfortunately, i dont speak this language.

  You know Crisis of Conscience is also available in Spanish. Be sure to link that to jwfacts English and Spanish. It could save thousands of peoples lives.
