a short time ago i sought information regarding a quotation in the watchtower of april 1, 2010, which did not identify the exact source of the quotation from professor oskar skarsaune.
my interest was heightened because words had been omitted from the source.. the wts provided a copy of the original 29-page article, which is in norwegian.. here is my very unofficial personal translation of the passage from professor skarsaune's article that the watchtower is quoting.
firstly i provide the text as it appears in the watchtower magazine, highlighting where the text has been omitted.

In reality - the same people who decided in the TRINITY decided the Cannon.
The Catholic church is responsible for both those, as well as spreading the good news of the kingdom and Jesus to the world. Sorry JWs - the Catholic are the ones who made it known to the ends of the earth, not JWs.
JWs only have any success (very small in reality) in countries where the CC already brought christianity.
the reality is that there is no evidence whatsoever that the jews were ever enslaved in egypt.
yes, there's the story contained within the bible itself, but that's not a remotely historically admissible source.
i'm talking about real proof; archeological evidence, state records and primary sources.
freemindfade - how crazy is that.
How intellectually dishonest is it. How conditioned were we all to just accept what ever crap was told us without question.
We had people from our hall do the tour. I think they could have walked out side the museum and shown them a old dog crap and said - "see this is from the jewish Exodus, this crap is from moses." and they would take pictures to show everyone back home.
As for Rocks Crying Out.
If JW really loved the people in the world, and wanted them saved, they would all STOP preaching - and let the Rocks Cry Out! People would then become JWs without question.
Having a Rock talk to you is much more convincing than an uneducated cult follower with a flyer.

This is SOP for the WT. I don't understand how the people writing the articles can do this?
This is one I picked up as soon as I read it. Sounded fishy. http://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/watchtower-again-misquotes-scientist-to-argue-against-evolution-and-this-time-its-personal
Anytime you read something that deals with science in a WT it will be BS.

Its funny. No group is more interested in finding evidence than the Jews themselves. Jewish archaeologist have been searching for the smallest shred of evidence for many decades, with NO results. You can't find evidence of something that didn't happen.
Anyway - you don't need to look for jewish footprints in the sand actually.
I have mentioned this before. What happened that lead to their leaving?
1. The world superpower (egypt) just lost all of it's first borns.
2. Then millions of its slaves (the ones responsible for all food production, building, all work really) just up and left.
3. Then the ENTIRE Egyptian army is killed at once.
4. The Pharaoh is also killed.
All of this happens, and somehow the surrounding nations decide to cut Egypt some slack and don't go in and take it over, or at least steal all their gold and women? Really?
Not one nation mentions this grand catastrophe in their history?
The next Pharaoh doesn't talk about how he restored the country to greatness? (by the way history does not show any lull during that time.
How long would it take for Egypt to overcome the loss of all their 1st borns (what knowledge skills and breading power would they lose with that).
How long would it take to recover from losing your ENTIRE Army and ALL your war implements?
Looking for Jewish footprints from the exodus is a trivial thing compared to the missing mountain of evidence about the fall of Egypt.
the society says that ancient biblical characters (and their faith) are worthy of imitation right?.

q10..they forgot one question.. would you let a 30 year old man in diapers inspect your ward robe?.
see opening picture..
I think the picture of the guy on the right is funny.
So Notice he has a MacBook Pro, and iPhone, and an iPad. (iphone and iPad are in horrible covers.)
I guess when you need to watch cult videos and read cult publications - you want an OS and Hardware that won't ever let you down.
