the tetragrammaton ,does not appear anywhere in the christian greek scriptures see the new world kingdom interlinear translation.
the tetragrammaton translated in english is yhwh ( not jhvh) their is no j in hebrew.. the first edition of the book " aid to bible understanding" admits that the proper pronunciation of gods name is not known.. that they have used the name jehovah because it is the more popular name used in christendoms religions.
and they say christendoms religions are apostates / anti christs /babylon the great , can they have it both ways ?.
Just think when they get to heaven and say but we preached about you Jehovah!
God looks a them and says huh who's Jehovah?
I think that might have been one of the things in the back of my mind that always kind of bothered me.
Even the dubs admit that Jehovah may not be the exact translation but they use it anyway. Now if I were the jealous God that Jehovah is made out to be I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be happy about being called by the wrong name for all those years.
a recent review by misiek piskorski, ( associate professor of business administration, at harvard business school) of internet use in china, makes some interesting points, in harvard business review.
the most striking feature is the sheer volume internet use in china.
close to 600 million users in 2013, and rising.

I wouldn't bet on it. Whatever you say about Americans we seem to be inventors and inovators of stuff people want.
Just check out Bella15's post
Although China does appear to be buying a lot of the companies we don't seem to want anymore.

3d Printer
Sorry I couln't resist a few of our less notable inventions.
Although the 3d printer looks to be quite life changing. I saw a article on how it could even be used to build a house.
i was just wondering.
say you were baptised and stopped going to the meetings, when the elders and people ask why can you just say you don't want to be a jw anymore without giving a reason?
i mean it's not like they can force it out of you and you aren't necessarily spreading lies or whatever they say apostates do.. if anything they'll have to keep talking to you to find an actual reason to df you so if you're literally as vague as possible then what basis do they have?
If they were already suspicious of you and your motives it might work. But since they are all about love they rightfully should try to do something to get you to stay. If you suprised them with the request I think most would be honestly concerned for you. But when their half assed help didn't work they would quickly change their tune.
original nwt reads: "if any man teaches other doctrine and does not assent to healthful words, those of our lord jesus christ, nor to the teaching that accords with godly devotion, he is puffed up [with pride], not understanding anything, but being mentally diseased over questionings and debates about words.
from these things spring envy, strife, abusive speeches, wicked suspicions...".
2013 revision reads: "if any man teaches another doctrine and does not agree with the wholesome instruction, which is from our lord jesus christ, nor with the teaching that is in harmony with godly devotion,he is puffed up with pride and does not understand anything.
Interesting. I wonder if that might actualy be worse. If you are mentally diseased then it isn't your fault and the dubs might feel bad for you. If you are just obsessed then it is kind of your own doing. Seems almost like a softer term that allows for a wider net to be cast on who an apostate is.
Although being obsessed is really a specific form of a mental disease isn't it?
Stop worrying about dating and concentrate on just meeting new people. Once you get good at that you will start to meet women you like and then you can ask them out.
If you want to practice, go places where you know you won't ever see the people again and practice approaching women. Start with just saying hi to people as they walk by, or maybe even holding eye contact for a little longer than you feel comfortable. Then work your way up to a short conversation. Make it about having a small conversation not about asking someone out. Half the problem when you approach a women is you're already thinking about how she is going to turn you down or worse yet become a chain around your neck.
Practice confidence, good posture, eye contact and minimizing nervous gestures and such.
Remember dating in the real world doesn't automatically equal a permanent relationship. As long as you are honest about what you want up front then you should be fine. Don’t expect a woman to change what she says either. If she says she wants something casual believe her. Thinking she will change her mind once she gets to know you is a great way to get hurt.
Do expect to be hurt now and then.
Don't waste one second or one penny on "dating doctors". You know those guys that train you how to pick up women by being mean. Thats all BS.
The most balanced advice I heard on sex was to only sleep with women you have some affection for. And of course you need to respect her boundries in that area as well. Again honesty is key here.

Very surreal! When I first saw it, I was wondering if I was getting some sort of spam because of visting this site.
im sure this has been discussed before but i was wondering if anyone has any links to pdf or online versions of some of these so called discredited and banned books of the bible...?
