As usual, when you pop the hood and look at the engine, you find out that instead of a Chevy all you got was a toy from Fischer-Price. ~ Sea Breeze
I hope you haven't been talking to my wife!

What is Your Favorite WT Lie?
by Sea Breeze ini would like to start a thread on lies that the watchtower and their reps have told.
surely we all have one or two that truly sticks out in our memories, no matter how much we would like to forget.
my favorite wt lie: the reason they don't want to release the name of the "scholars" who worked on the new world translation is because they do not want to accept "glory and honor" from others.

Thank you Sea Breeze. That is very informative. I have not seen anything that extensive in refuting the claim. I suspect no one else ever bothered to invest the time & effort into the matter.
(Of course, my post was NOT in any way suggesting that the "Rhodes" claim had ANY real merit.)

There are rumours that Samuel Herd is leaving GB and that will be announced soon.
Good odds that announcement could be in the form of an obituary.

You don't think the fact that none on the "translating committee" had any degrees in the original biblical languages had anything to do with it? Only one had a 2 hr. survey course in Koine Greek.
Whoa!
Fred Franz was a Rhodes Scholar!
Or was it Road Scholar?
Does it matter? He was a really smart guy!

To whom should Christians pray to?
by Longlivetherenegades init is funny how christians argue back and forth over the father, jesus christ and make it look as the father and the son are are loggerheads over supremacy.. even who to pray to between the father and jesus are means to create rivalry.
it boils down to this, your essence of being a christian goes beyond those unending argument making jesus a rival of his father.
psalms 65: 2. o hearer of prayer, to you people of all sorts* will come.. john 14: 13 also, whatever you ask in my name , i will do this, so that the father may be glorified in connection with the son.

"Believers" won't watch this as their Cognitive Dissonance would cause them too much mental anguish.

I think it is to be a video production facility. Would be kind of pointless without power ~ Lee
I think you missed the AFTER ARMAGEDDON part.
They claim they need to build these properties even though Armageddon is just around the corner as they will use these new properties even after Armageddon, as though the electricity grid will remain unharmed and power plants, of course, will continue to operate via "miracle".

In our area, at least 5 Congs have been closed/merged and thus the pub count has increased in the remaining nearby Congs so it's really difficult to compare stats from the past.

Surely they are installing solar & wind power generators so they can continue to use it after Armageddon when the traditional power grid will likely be out of service.

Elders are simply affirming the decisions that have already been made in heaven.
