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

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

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

Worldwide headline from the Org!!!!!!!!!

by BoogerMan in

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.

From the photos, it looks to be one of the most dismal places on the planet.

Suspected Washington Kingdom Halls arsonist arrested

by Corney in

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

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:.
