so i noticed this change in the text of the new silver nwt compared to the older nwt at matthew 5:32. old nwt:.
"however, i say to you that everyone divorcing his wife , except on the grounds of fornication makes her a subject for adultery...etc" .
new nwt:.
Errrrm....aren’t these texts the word of god, Jesus and whoever else proclaimed themselves higher than us mere mortals?....
sorry if I’m being a bit thick... but bit how can it change? Surely what was written all those years ago is gospel (pardon the pun)
don’t the rank and file wonder how/why it could change?
makes me laugh 😂
Stillin- Haha. Yep 🤣🙄
As far as I’m aware it’s a live broadcast......ooooooh, am so excited to hear all about it! 🤢
a witness can’t celebrate and give gifts on a birthday except on the day they are born.
giving a baby shower is ok as well as gift giving—- but only once!
soooo dumb!.
It’s stupid that JWs won’t recognise birthdays yet if a baby is born they will give gifts!
Yes it is.
i remember an elder questioning a woman who had admitted to giving and receiving oral sex from her unbelieving mate.
he asked her the most intimate questions which clearly flustered her.
interestingly, she “confessed “ to the elders because her conscience bothered her.
StephaneLaliberte - what a shocking, callous thing to say. Do they lack compassion because they lack the social skills every child develops through into adulthood if given the freedom to decide themselves what is wrong or right?
I was told that after Armageddon he would greet my parents (both deceased), shake my Dad’s hand and tell them he had known their daughter.........
I mean, what the feck?! Is it blackmail or lack of understanding grief? Talk about below the belt! Had to say, Whoa! Stop right there, how dare you say that to me?

After a lengthy ‘discussion’ about Armageddon, resurrection and living in paradise, I said, “...by your own admission, you might not make it at the time of the great tribulation. I won’t make it. But, if you or I died before then we would be resurrected?...so, what you are telling me is that the only way to guarantee getting into paradise earth is to die before Armageddon?” ...... the answer?.......”errrm...*scratching head*, well, yes, errrm no, but it’s more complicated than that”
Really? Is it?
i wish i could change my user name.
.
i am no longer confused..
I am still most definitely worldly.....and female.
did anyone see the trevor macdonald programme in the u.k. last night?

close to the end mr macdonald was walking through an underpass, at the exit, graffitied on the wall in massive black letters was ‘jwfacts.com’ it was plain to see........
Yes, jwfacts, that’s it. It is surreal, definitely was last night when I saw it.
It was a real ‘...did I really just see that?’ Moment

....it came around the point in the program where they were discussing one of the Murderers,who has been jailed for child abuse for a second time since his release for killing James, should have thrown away the key the first time.....
so it did make me wonder if it was a vey strategic shot by some director, producer etc who knows about the JW scandals? ... or was it just coincidence?
