That was so funny!

Chad says to Jess, "Oh, we're both going to JW jail if we get caught".

Jess says to Chad, "Good job on mics". Chad says, "Thanks. It's harder than it looks".

The Tony's Cart song - Bottlegate episode was so funny. This was probably why Anthony Morris III was kicked out of the GB club. I loved how they had a lego angel stationed above the liquor store contacting heaven with a walkie-talkie.

This video describes what it's like to be at a convention in Lego form. He will focus on the attendants, the speaker and one family with a bunch of teenagers griping about the assembly, particularly two boys and two girls. It is quite hilarious.

It looks like he put a great deal of time and energy to create this work. Some claymation studios should hire him or he should open his own business.

J.W org and Noah's Flood

by Phizzy in

i remember when i was "in" the org.

had a ridiculous public talk outline defending the genesis flood myth.. do they have a current one doing that ?.

Acluetofindtheuser

I doubt they have a new outline for the flood story. Many years ago when Samuel Herd was a CO he gave a talk about the flood and his intro was based on the info from the Angels and Women book from 1924. He never mentioned the book by name but he said his source material was from a novel in the Bethel library at the time.

Should a person die for their religious BELIEFS?

by Fisherman in

in ancient israel many of the prophets were killed as a result of their religious assignments —from god.

even soldiers were sent out to fight against idolatrous “uncircumcised” and logically some died for example jonathan, the son of king saul.

these soldiers were said to be fighting the wars of jehovah and there was no miraculous salvation for everybody all of the time.

I remember a talk given by an elder a long time ago that said no christian should expect divine protection by God in this world unless that person is directly related to his outworking purpose. For example God made sure people like Moses and Elijah stayed alive because they make or break his plan.

Here's a post on Reddit from 3 years ago confirming Guy Pierce was raised a Mormon and became a witness as a young adult.

Thanks for sharing that link Zilgee on the Family Home Evening. Now they need another former Mormon to join the JW GB ranks and suggest University is a good thing. It brings money into God's house.

The JW's stole the Family Worship day from the Mormons. The implementation came from deceased GB member Guy Pierce. He used to be a Mormon and he brought it into the JW religion.

Anyone know what this sculpture is of the "torture stake?"

by charity7 in

hey guys!

i'm new on this site and am a non jw here married to a jw.

my husband's family are active members and they daily post articles on facebook from jw.org which i know is meant for me to see and read.

I understand why they wanted to get rid of the word cross. Too many people were venerating it as a way of salvation but Deuteronomy 21:22-23 was as an eye opener for me on whether it was a cross or a stake.

The NWT(Revised) reads:

"If a man commits a sin deserving the sentence of death and he has been put to death and you have hung him on a stake. his dead body should not remain all night on the stake..."

The older NWT version reads about the same but you have to get out the old 1984 Reference Bible to see the footnote of where the work "stake" is present. The footnote reads, Lit., "tree"; or, "wood".

If you look at the original Hebrew word used it is "eyts" which is nothing other than a tree. The exact same Hebrew word is used for the tree(s) in the middle of the garden of eden.

https://www.ancient-hebrew.org/definition/tree.htm

It was more likely a tree instead of some cut up wood in the above passages. A living tree has limbs which makes it easy to mount the deceased criminal for public display. A tree has limbs to hold out arms and so does a cross. The majority of the translations I looked up on Biblehub use the "tree" rendering.

At this point they were still wandering in the wilderness when Deuteronomy was being penned by Moses and so there was an abundance of trees all around the camp of Israel to use as warning sign posts. There was no need to cut some trees up as lumber (wood) and later use them as execution posts.

Careful what you wish for! Regarding Jehovah in the New Testament

by pizzahut2023 in

ok i'll bite.. let's say for a moment that jehovah's witnesses are right, and that the nt autographs (the originals) contained the tetragrammaton.let's say that the nt writers always wrote "jehovah" in greek (iexoba, as the witnesses spell it currently) when they quoted the hebrew scriptures, whether they quoted from the hebrew version or the septuagint, and jehovah's name appeared on the quote.

let's say that the original septuagint always had iexoba whenever they were referring to jehovah.then we have that the original septuagint said in psalms 101:26-28 the following:"at the beginning it was you, o jehovah, who founded the earth, and the heavens are works of your hands.

they will perish, but you will endure, and they will all become old like a garment.

I noticed one instance where the NWT showed someone in the NT quoting the OT and the difference was in the identity of the divine being. The OT said the source came from the spirit but the NT said the source was Jehovah. I can't remember the scripture.
