may 24, 2016 to all bodies of elders re: release of english revised new world translation in braille
I think its kinda of funny that - you "qualify" to get the bible only after you are buying in to the JW philosophy. You know - because its an expensive book in braille.
Once the individual has made sufficient progress, such as by attending meetings regularly, then he may request the revised New World Translation.)
Didn't jesus mention something like "i will teach you but only after you prommis to believe what I say"
may 21, 2016 to all congregations re: annual items for 2017.
i have drawn the conclusion that when god speaks, he is using the language and the concepts of the time.
he is not revealing a new scientific understanding when he speaks.
that would be distracting from the point being made.
To bad when dog spoke - he at no time revealed any information that could be conclusively proven to have been from - i don't know - the creator of the universe?
Maybe talk about the Carbon Cycle and not the water cycle that is as obvious anything.
Maybe talk about the atom, or about gravity?
Say something about magnetism, continental drift, that there are other PLANETS going around our sun.
Maybe that there are galaxies?
Or maybe he could have said that "at the time of the end, men will discover Dark Matter and Dark energy.
Dude the bible is a bad story with less value than Aesops Fables.
i was reading in another forum, that a letter to the elders instructed them to speak to anybody who persists in wearing tight pants.
if changes don't happen then the instructions are to disqualify him from being a publisher but it won't be announced to the congregation.
i am am curious to see if this letter will surface.
And Jesus wore a beard.....a very HIPSTER thing to do!
Oh and, just a thought re beards: if they are so wrong, then why did God make men naturally grow them?
Dude - you got it so wrong - Beards were made perfect - but Satan Perverted them - so now people wear them to promote themselves as being more important than god.
Evidently the are used in satanic sex rites as well.
have you all noticed the obsession witnesses have of putting jw.org on all their social media sites like facebook, twitter, instagram etc?.
so many put it in their bio section...like some sort of loud proclamation to other witnesses that they are righteous and spreading the message.. it's also very lazy.
now with no personal effort at all, they can just say jw.org and be "witnessing".

Maybe the should stop creating videos and artwork with Jesus wearing a dress?
He is sending a gender blurring image to our young people that is dangerous!

you can't unring a bell once rung.. you can't unknow nor can you forget being deceived, tricked, lied to and misled.. the truly awful aftershock of waking up to the 'truth about the truth' is the death of wonder,.
belief, and absolute certainty that you know what life is all about.
in fact, for most of us the path is the same.we begin investigating our foundational belief system.
Well.... at least there are people more gullible than JWs.
for me, i have only purchased just one powerball ticket in my life, that was few years ago and i am thinking about buying some more in the near future.
maybe i should push my luck even more this time.
i am going to buy 10 tickets.
redvip200021 hours agoMy office has a pool when prizes get over $150 million.
So is $140 million just not worth the bother?
who do jw's believe are the pharisees????
do you know of any religious organization that.
put such a heavy burden on it's members.
notsurewheretogo4 hours ago JW's no longer really believe in "anti-typicals" anymore...they gave up on that a few years ago...
maybe it's time for a less serious thread .
i have just finished watching dirty dancing ( again ) .
what is your feel good movie , the one that makes you smile and cry happy tears ?
