  An interesting Observation of some Bibles

  by Blotty in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  first of all, hi, i go by blotty on this website :) i am someone who has a passion for the bible and like to get a as balanced view as i can from the trinitarian and the jw (or unitarian) side - even though i come off as leaning towards one or the other at times, in my opinion they both have merits in certain cases..if this is in the wrong section i apologise - this is just something i found interesting.iv seen online a lot that say the watchtower and tract society "invented" the link between proverbs 8:22 - 30 and jesus (the word).

  yet interestingly some "mainstream" "trinitarian- aimed" translations are cross referencing the following:source:https://www.biblegateway.comprov 8:22 cr rev 3:14niv, gnt,esv, nasb, nasb1995, nasbre, cevprov 8:30 cr john 1:1,2 esv nasbprov 8:30 cr john 1:3esvnasb1995nasb(this list is by no means complete)if this is simply wisdom, why is it referenced with jesus (or the word)?.

  I concur with Earnest here. The Wisdom/Christ identity predates Russell and the JWs by many centuries.

  Resolution in Korean assembly in 1971

  by pokertopia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to jehovah's witnesses.

  we express our position on [jehovah's witnesses] under the [watchew tower bible and booklet association] as follows.. .

  1. jehovah's witnesses claimed that jesus christ was brought back in the fall of 1874 rather than 1914 and planned people to come out of the established church, so this organization is regarded as a false prophet.

  A curious document, assuming the translation is accurate. I wonder who or what breakaway group authored it.

  Kudos to Kevin, and thanks for taking the time to make these videos. I've done a bit of video editing, and I know the time it takes to write, create the screenshots, and edit these videos is not trivial.

  Review of Wallace's Grammar

  by Wonderment in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  review of daniel b. wallace’s greek grammar.

  daniel b[aird] wallace is professor of new testament, and author of greek grammar beyond the basics, a work first published by zondervan corporation in 1996. his work has since become a standard work in the intermediate koine greek field and has been translated into half a dozen languages.

  it is said two-thirds of bible colleges today that teach the subject use the textbook.

  Wonderment, is the review something you have written yourself, or is it published somewhere else? If the latter, what is the source and author?

  Thanks

  unbelievable news: they've actually built a kingdom hall, and it was thanks to jehovah!!!!.

  https://www.jw.org/en/news/jw/region/canada/kingdom-hall-completed-in-canadas-place-of-many-fish/.

  “from the logistics of getting the construction materials to the far north, to navigating how to solve unexpected supply problems, nothing could stand in jehovah’s way.

  Suspected Washington Kingdom Halls arsonist arrested

  by Corney in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as many probably remember, in 2018-2020, multiple kingdom and assembly halls were set on fire in the state of washington, so fbi, atf, local sheriff and arson alarm foundation offered $61,000 in rewards for information leading to arrest of the arsonist.

  the attacks (seven arsons and one shooting) included:.

  march 19, 2018: two arson attacks - one at a tumwater kingdom hall and the second at a kingdom hall on cain road in olympia.

  Thankfully no one was physically injured.

  Amen to that.

  It is a sad time in the world when almost every week we hear about a mass shooting by some deranged person, sometimes with an agenda and sometimes with no known reason. At least this person just damaged some property and no one was caught in harm's way.

  and early judicial committee with Rutherford

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  while disfellowshipping was doubled down on and reinforced during the time of raymond franz, it definitely existed before that when needed and fits right in with rutherford's personality.

  here's an account of norman woodworth who left for dawn bible students, and his proto-judicial committee.

  all the modern hallmarks of apostasy trials are there, from the witch-hunt nature to the big all-important gotcha question at the end:.

  The faithful steward mystery - solved at last!

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  w13 7/15 p. 20 “who really is the faithful and discreet slave?” revealed it was a bunch of guys in new york, back in 1919.. the apostle paul must have been un-inspired when he wrote this back in the 1st century:.

  (1 corinthians 4:1, 2) “a man should regard us [all christians/paul, apollos & peter?

  ] as attendants of christ and stewards of god’s sacred secrets.

  3.1415926535807932384626433i used to be able to go to a hundred from memory.

  my son and daughter can do so.age 75 has cheated me a bit in this regard.what sort of things have you memorized (whether useful or useless)?i can recite the entire rime of the ancient mariner to this day, btw.there are many so-called tricks for remembering things that can be easily learned and i've read all or most of those books.the amusing thing about such memory is this: nobody cares!

  "why do you need to memorize when you can just use your iphone?sigh...i memorized the periodic table of elements one day at work.

  In my teens I read The Memory Book, by Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucas. I spent a lot of time working on it and got to where I could amaze the school teachers by memorizing population of states, and pointless stuff like that. I found it to be a LOT of work and mental energy. Ultimately not really necessary. However, to this day I still use the technique of assigning letters to numbers, converting the number to a word, and remembering the number as a word. It helps in recalling an address, SS number, things like that.
