  Need help in identifying a Bible translation

  by Caminante in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm working on transcribing the full 3 hour recording of ray franz's visit in romania of over five years ago and i realize he quotes from a pretty unfamiliar bible translation.

  well, it's unfamiliar to me--it might not be for you though--and i don't seem to find it anywhere online.

  as a clue, i have the verses from 1 peter 4:8-10. they read as follows: "above all, let your love for one another be constant, for love covers a multitude of sins.

  The same wording of 1Peter 4:8-10 is quoted in this pdf, the very last scripture cited.

  http://www.cdom.org/stewardship/documents/Ministry%20Brochure.pdf

  I don't see any note of the translation used, but the home page appearss to be a Catholic site.

  www.cdom.org

  Hope you get it figured it out.

  Despite it's horrible turn over rate, Watchtower will always find fault with other religions that have much less of a problem.

  In this example it points to the Catholic Church,

  (Awake Nov, 2011 p29, Watching The World)
  “Slightly more than 10% of American adults (10.1 percent) have left the Catholic Church after having been raised Catholic. -National Catholic Reporter, U.S.A."

  Another glaring, hypocritical double standard on Watchtower's part.

  during the last three to four months, i have spent a great deal of time sinking my teeth into various critical biblical commentaries and lexicons.

  naturally, after beginning to research "the truth about the truth" one of the most commonplace yet controversial arguments revolve around the "gentile times" doctrine (i.e.

  the application of the seven times of daniel 4 from 607 b.c.e.

  UnapologeticLWT said,

  I have no interest in having discussions with any of you. Please save your questions for someone who cares.

  The question I asked was very simple and doesn't require a discussion at all, just a Yes or No.

  Have you been on this site under another name?

  Blood transfusion: Letter of Understanding

  blood transfusion: letter of understanding .

  today i added a new article to my blog that to the best of my knowledge is the first publication of a document put together for jehovahs witnesses by medical ethicists in cooperation with watchtower appointed hospital liaison committee members.

  this document is very helpful in medical terms yet very explosive in theological terms for jehovahs witnesses whove been taught to resist blood transfusion as rape.

  @ Marvin Shilmer,

  Thank you for the explanation to my question!

  I like your summary of why this is happening the Society is softening on the blood issue,

  1) Watchtower is losing the fight

  If a physican gave a JW child a transfusion, would the parents know about it, or are the parents agreeing to 'look the other way' while the Dr does what he needs to do to save a child?

  If the latter, Watchtower is agreeing to a 'do what you need to do, just don't tell me about it' approach.

  FaceTheFacts,

  FaceTheFacts is a terrible person...

  - Actually, no one said that about you.

  is also Ethos/Thirdwitness/Recovery/Djeggnog...

  - Because you have had several identities here before, and you are rehashing material that you've already posted under at least one of them.

  ...probably scholar as well.

  - Certainly no one accused you of that.

  FaceTheFacts is a terrible person

  - Again, you exaggerate, no one said that.

  Lets talk about a million other subjects instead.

  - People are simply trying to keep you honest on this topic.

  Your remarks seem to be nothing more than an attempt at side-stepping issues, to draw attention away from the real meat of 607 BCE. As someone mentioned, you like to use many words to make it appear as if you have solid arguments. I am new to the topic of 607 and was hoping to hear sound arguments on both sides if the issue, but you haven't offered much except your lame attemtps at misdirection.

  I wonder if onlookers are laughing as hard as I am?

  - You're not laughing, you're pretending.

  i've been thinking of this, and as i am from sweden i use my own country as an example.. to notice is that sweden is high penetrated of internet.

  the young ones here is often really good in english.. and i suppose that hardly one third of the jw kids finaly get baptised.. at most positive.. .

  Honeybucket,

  Any discussion about the bible that is progressing, is a bible study

  Yes! I remember a C.O. explaining that a Bible study can take place standing on a doorstep, and may only last a few minutes - it can be counted as a study if it's regular.

  I believe that all of Watchtower's numbers are being stretched a bit.

  Edit: I believe the C.O. said that if you have done it 3 times and made arrangements for the 4th, you can start counting it as a study.
