"Just like if I want information about a car I'm considering whether or not to purchase, I'll check out the manufacturer's website and promotional literature."

Shit! I actually did just buy a brand new car, and I never once looked at the manufacturer's website or promotional literature.

I read some reviews online (which were all pretty positive.)

Oh well.

PS: truecar.com is helpful for finding a good price as well.

by lambsbottom in

mormon.org/discoverfollow the prophetwe follow the prophet because the prophet follows god.

listening to what the prophets teach will bring us peace and guide us to heaven.. .

have you ever heard one person tell one side of a story, then heard another person tell the opposite side, and both versions sound true?

Mark Sanderson - Why Is the Newest GB Member Suddenly So Prominent?

by Oubliette in

i've noticed something that is very odd even by wt/gb standards.

why is mark sanderson suddenly so prominent in all things wt/jw?.

others have commented on the obvious narcissism of the gb pushing themselves to the fore recently, in particular after their huge doctrinal change at proclaiming themselves and only themselves as the faithful and discreet slave.. this is clearly true as evidenced at the agm, not only throughout the agm, but also in the video that was featured as part of that meeting.

"Have you ever seen what happens when an elder or ministerial servant gets appointed? They usually get slammed with privileges. Accounts, sound, literature, territory, assisting older friends, moving people, parts, etc.."

I know you don't want to hear this, but I think STFU got this one right: this is the new kid on the block and they want to "use" him for as many "privileges" as possible. I think that's what the visibility is all about.

I have heard Sanderson speak on multiple occasions and he's never struck me as any more or less smug/jerk-offish than the others - which isn't saying much.

Pretty sure recording/photographing/videoing or otherwise "spying on" coworkers at work without their knowledge is a "no-no" at many workplaces. Get in pretty big trouble doing that where I work.

So how exactly did this "new translation" come to be?

by sir82 in

jw
friends

a normal person, upon hearing that a new (or revised) bible translation has been released, would have 2 questions spring to mind almost immediately:.

1) who did the work, and what are their credentials?.

2) what manuscripts is the work based on?.

breakfast of champions

What was claimed at the AM (and maybe someone else could back me on ths) was that the NWT was the Best Bible EVAHHHHHH because it was translated by ANNOINTED BROTHERS AT HEADQUARTERS ( i.e. THE FAITHFUL AND DISCREET SLAVE.) Yeah, Tyndale and King James and all those other bastards were fine, but only this translation was produced by the FDS.

Cherish Your Doubts

by TotallyADD in

reopened mind and i came across this reading today and i would like to share it with all of you.

for me it was really eye opening and i hope this will help many here to understand why we take this stand against the wt.. cherish your doubts.

cherish your doubts, for doubt is the attendant of truth.. doubt is the key to the door of knowledge; it is the servant of discovery.. a belief which may not be questioned binds us to error, for there is incompleteness and imperfection in every belief.. doubt is the touchstone of truth; it is an acid which eats away the false.. let no one fear for the truth, that doubt may consume it; for doubt is a testing of belief.. the truth stands boldly and unafraid; it is not shaken by the testing.. for truth, if it be truth, arises from each testing stronger, more secure.. those that would silence doubt are filled with fear; their houses are built on shifting sands.. but those who fear not doubt, and know its use, are founded on rock.. they shall walk in the light of growing knowledge; the work of their hands shall endure.. therefore let us not fear doubt, but let us rejoice in its help.. it is to the wise as a staff to the blind; doubt is the attendant of truth.. robert t. weston.

jesus (apparently) in Old NWT rode into Jerusalem on an anal sphincter

by hamsterbait in

the (american) witless justified replacing the correct translation of ass with donkey, claiming we would never describe a happy brother as "gay".

an ass is a different animal from a donkey, making the nwt an inaccurate translation here.. are jdubs sooo filthy minded they think below the waist even in the context of christ riding into jerusalem?.

how do they translate numbers 31: 34: " 61 thousand asses" remember it is not 61 000 anuses.. .

breakfast of champions

Yess. . . . . . Was thinking this myself as I sat there yesterday. I do recall that a donkey and an ass are two different creatures entirely. . But not sure from where. . . .
