Do you ever wonder if the society changes the older issues of the WT to say what they want it to say on those DVDs? Like the 2012 version might say something different than the 2015 version in the 1975 WT?

It certainly seems like the sort of thing they might do, but the only case I'm aware of is the one shown by previous posters in this thread from the 1989 WT, where "in our 20th century" was changed to "in our day." In that case, the text was changed in the printed bound volume from what appeared in the original magazine, and the bound volumes are what are supposedly collected onto the CD-ROM (indeed, there were no Watchtower CD-ROMs in 1989 when that change was made). I'd be very interested if anyone could cite examples of any other such changes between the original printed magazines (or other publications), the bound volumes and the WTLib CD.

me-you allow pedophiles to go d2d and into peoples houses even when they have children.. j.w-no we don't.. me-the one that interfered with a relative of mine does and another i know who raped his sister does in fact he's an elder.. j.w-we cant stop them going d2d.. me- so now your saying they do go d2d you can't stop them,no you don't want to!.

j.w-it happens in all religions.. me- so that justifies sending pedo's into strangers houses.how would you like it if a pedo came to your place and you didn't know.. j.w- it happened to my mother and if he came to my place it knock him out.. me - but you have no problem with anyone from your church going to peoples houses even if they are a pedo.. we argued around in circles with him saying the elders may not know and me saying well i told them and so did the victim and he admitted to it ,then i told him about the r.c in australia and he said that could be anyone claiming to be a j.w could be on the stand ( by this time he was getting desperate)the i said like jeffery jackson?.

i told them to look it up on you tube.. i gave then the names and congro's the 2 pedo's are in and said i'd come back next week and see if they had checked it out.the lady's body language said she knew the elder that raped his sister as they are a well know family they were in the year book a few years ago.. stand by for next week.. karter.

"That happens in all religions."

"So you're admitting that your religion isn't any better than all the others then?"

Nativity Scene in JW Literature

by Wild_Thing in

jw
friends

does anyone know if the jws have very printed a picture of, what might be considered, a nativity scene in any of their literature?

i think it would funny to create a christmas card using their own artwork!

haha!

NeonMadman

There is a nativity scene on pages 8 and 9 of the book from the 2015 conventions, called Jesus - The Way, the Truth, the Life (which seems to be a replacement for the Greatest Man book). It's available at jw.org under Publications-->Featured Items, then scroll down to "Convention Releases." I only have a pdf copy and the picture is split between the two pages, so I'm not in a position to post a scan; maybe someone more adept with graphics can do so.

Here's a direct link to the Convention Release section: http://www.jw.org/en/publications/jw-convention-releases-2015/

1984 New World Translation-Large Print-With References-PDF!

by Atlantis in

this bible appears on the watchtower website but not for download.

well, atlantis has taken care of that problem.

(large brown bible, 1,602 pages, with references).

NeonMadman

The green download button is greyed out and says "Locked." Unlocking it appears to require a code. Have the WT's lawyers gotten involved so quickly?

Can you prove that WT policy of shunning is unscriptual? Will soon be discussing with somebody, give me all your ammo!

by EndofMysteries in

will soon be discussing w/ somebody still in about that.

i want to make sure i am not missing anything good.

so any scriptures, articles whether wt articles or secular about effects of shunning, etc, or your arguments against how wt interprets their scriptures, etc.

NeonMadman

Here's an article I wrote some time ago offering a more biblically sound understanding of the Bible texts most used by the JWs to support their shunning doctrine:
