the second half of psalm 51:4 now reads "therefore, you are righteous when you speak, you are right in your judgment" in the online version where the printed version reads "so that you might prove righteous when you speak, and be right in your judgment".. fairly unimportant in itself, but i wonder what else has been changed without telling anyone..

Unless of course it is in basements hiding from police...(as in the 2016 drama videos!)

Too true Stuck!

Musicians Who Died in the Last Year - or Through the Years- Who Do you Miss Most ?

by flipper in

i think for me in the last year the death of david bowie got to me the most.

not only in the way he handled his demise so classy by even making a song about it and a you tube about dying and sharing it with fans, but just his whole persona i always thought was pretty cool.

plus i enjoyed a good many of his songs.

flipper mentioned Janis Joplin. I think she would have soared to amazing heights.

Gone to soon unfortunately.

Expanding number of DC/RC's

by DwainBowman in

according to my elder in law, by next year the number of dc/rc's will increase by 143. the size of conventions will get smaller.

the elder in law says the goal is to make them all have around 2,000 or so at each.

they are going to make more manuals detailing each job and it's responsibilities.

Yes, if they make the big summer assembly seem like the old circuit assemblies then where is the excitement?

Besides, isnt this one of the ways to marry off their young people? Let them see each other at the "big" assembly?

I remember the young people used to do the promenade round and round in those big ole coliseums!

If they are going to add 143, then how many are there now?

I wouldnt have thought there were more than a hundred or so already?

Yes Blondie, its such a problem with the men in the Org that the new guidelines are not to handle it judicially unless its "hard" porn.

So they finally had to make a judgement call on the severity of different types of porn!

Change(s?) to revised nwt

by Saltheart Foamfollower in

i don't think this has been picked up anywhere yet.

the revised nwt released in 2013 is already out of date.

the second half of psalm 51:4 now reads "therefore, you are righteous when you speak, you are right in your judgment" in the online version where the printed version reads "so that you might prove righteous when you speak, and be right in your judgment".. fairly unimportant in itself, but i wonder what else has been changed without telling anyone..

I dont know what it says in the online version but the new gray Bible took out two of the cross references listed with Hebrews 10:25. The most important one now gone was Matthew 18:20.

Hebrews says "Do not forsake the gathering of yourselves together..."

Matt 18:20 says "Where two or more are gathered in my name there my spirit will be also."

There were 4 cross references listed at Hebrews in the red Bible. Now there are only 2. That important one at Matthew 18 is gone. Why?

Could it be the Org doesnt want people to think they can gather in small groups?

My Issue With the Kingdom Melodies

the organization really has some talented people in it.

seriously talented.

artists, musicians, animators, and any other creative venue you can think of.

I feel the same way as TImeBandit.

When I think about "White Christmas or "Silent Night" or "Deck the Halls" I know its Christmas time and the music is very mood inducing.

Can you imagine if some power were to take away all the dearly loved Christmas songs and make new ones that didnt have all the memories that are attached to them?

People wouldnt stand for it.

I think the Org is making a mistake in getting rid of some of the memory stirring and emotion rousing through song. They really need all the inspiring tactics they can muster, rather than getting rid of some.

Who is your favorite thinker pt 2.

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

once upon a time i started a thread who is your favorite thinker and got many responses.

however revisiting that thread i noted we were to modest to name ourselves or fellow posters.

i therefore think we are either complete idiots, or modesty aside we should now name names, and restrict our answers to posters on the board.. so who on this board is your favorite thinker and why?.

Thank you Rebel

CoCo, thank you for giving more detail on Leolaia. She seems rather legendary!
