  NWT Revisions

  by Jeffro in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there is mention on a wikipedia article that there was a 2006 revision of the nwt.

  is this true?

  what differences are there?

  As an example:

  Phil. 1: 9 used to read like this so that the reader would know that the WT inserted the word "other" into the text.

  For this very reason, God exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every [other] name - NWT
  
  In the 2013 revision of the NWT it reads:

  For this very reason, God exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name - NWT

  The brackets were eliminated.

  When I was at the doors and someone would point out this scripture. I would say, "Sure, Jesus has the highest name in the universe other than Jehovah.

  But the scripture clearly says that the name of Jesus is higher than every name.....and that includes the name of Jehovah. Quite a problem for JW theology.

  Still, Ephesians makes it clear that Jesus name is the highest, even higher than Jehovah.

  Eph. 1: 21 far above every government and authority and power and lordship and every name that is named (NWT)

  Jesus said, "come to ME and I will give you rest". So, what do JW's do, they go to Jehovah instead.
  
  JW's have a problem following simple instructions.

  Roe vs Wade Overturned by US Supreme Court!

  i know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.

  it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.

  plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.

  It should be up to each individual woman to decide what she wants to do re abortions, with her own body.

  The USA Constitution has a bias against majority popular vote rule at the federal level

  And that is because we are and have always been a REPUBLIC. A pure democracy results in tyranny of the masses. Greek history 101.

  By contrast, the ancient Romans formed one of the most famous republics in history, which the Founding Fathers of the United States, such as Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, took a great deal of inspiration from.

  The Roman republic was considered a major upgrade to what had existed earlier: monarchy or kings’ rule.

  Roman citizens, rich and poor alike, were involved in how their government worked by voting for representatives, who would rule on their behalf.

  But this abortion issue has nothing to do with our form of government. The Supreme court simply returned power to the states and over turned a morally repugnant position that made murdering babies a constitutional right. Essentially they said that if you want to do it, then go through the legislatures..... the normal way of deciding if something is legal or not. The federal judicial branch is not going to make this a "constitutional right" since there is nothing about this issue in the US Constitution.
  
  And that is the right decision.

  There are flip sides to every coin and one day the will of the majority will prevail.

  @Sloppy Joe.....It just did.

  June 24, 2022 will go down in history as one of the greatest days of liberation ever. The nearly 50 year reign of terror on the unborn has thankfully been dealt a serious blow.

  Texas Attorney General is making it a holiday.

  Attorney General Ken Paxton

  @KenPaxtonTX

  SCOTUS just overruled Roe & Casey, ending one of the most morally & legally corrupt eras in US history. Praise the Lord. Abortion is now illegal in Texas. And today I’m closing my office—and making it an annual holiday—as a memorial to the 70 million lives lost bc of abortion.

  All the idiots saying “all the cute babies saved” should realise the hideousness of the now inevitable back street abortions.

  Freemail,

  So concerned with victims eh? Stop being a victim of propaganda.

  This is a win for the Constitution and especially the 10th amendment.
  
  It states that the federal government has only those powers delegated to it by the Constitution, and that all other powers not forbidden to the states by the Constitution are reserved to each state.

  Democrats have suddenly remembered what a woman is and haven't been this upset since the federal government desegregated public schools.

  Looks like S. Dakota, Arkansas and Kentucky just banned abortions as well. 4 states in just a few hours! Lots of cute little babies are going to be saved.

  Hopefully people will start to view abortion as not just a medical procedure. It is a very serious life-ending procedure that will have life-long consequences and psychological burdens.

  States will now get to choose whether or not to murder their kids. Missouri made it illegal less than an hour after the decision. Texas will automatically make it a felony to perform an abortion in 30 days with a previously passed "trigger" law.

  The bill makes it a crime to perform, induce, or attempt abortion. The law provides exceptions for a life-threatening condition of the mother that could lead to her death or serious bodily injury. A violation of the law is a felony of the second degree. The death of the unborn during the abortion would increase the offense to a felony of the first degree. The person performing the abortion could also be subject to a civil penalty of up to $100,000 for each violation.

  The law does not impose any penalty or fine on the pregnant female, the law states. Rep. Capriglione told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram the penalties also do not apply to a pregnant female who performs a self-induced abortion.

  25 states are expected to make performing an abortion illegal.

  The WT has failed to explain fundamental doctrines

  by Kosonen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sadly the wt failed to teach fundamental biblical doctrines.

  i did never really understand the doctrine about ransom while i was still in the congregation.. i did not either understand what it really means that "god is love" as stated in the bible.

  i did not either understand from the wt what is love.

  I meant for the whole last paragraph to apply to those under Watchtowerism, including the so-called anointed since they are double cursed under the stipulations of Gal. 1: 8-9

  You are referring to Romans 6: 7
  
  Note WT teaching here:
  
  

  Romans 6:7
  has been acquitted: Or “has been released (pardoned).” Lit., “has been justified.” The Greek word di·kai·oʹo used here is often rendered “to declare righteous.” The context shows that Paul was discussing spirit-anointed Christians alive at that time. They had been baptized into Christ Jesus and had received the valid prospect of heavenly life. However, in order to be anointed with holy spirit and accepted as spirit-begotten sons of God, they had to die figuratively to their former course of life as imperfect humans and have their sins forgiven by God. Then they could have human perfection imputed to them.

  So, first they agree that the death in Romans 6: 7 is figurative... which it is. But they they turn around and say the opposite:

  In discussing this with regard to anointed Christians, Paul was drawing on a fundamental truth. He knew that the penalty for Adam’s sin was death. (Ge 2:17) So Paul reasons that one who has died has been acquitted from sin because by means of his death, he has paid the full penalty for sin. At Ro 6:23, Paul says: “The wages sin pays is death.” So when a person has died, his sinful record no longer stands against him. And if it were not for Jesus’ sacrifice and God’s purpose to resurrect the person, he would never live again. Still, he would remain acquitted from sin, since God would not reexamine his case and then sentence him to further punishment.

  So, under WT teaching a person can also die physically, pay for their sins themselves, and still not be resurrected.
  
  All complete horse manure. The WT will never quote Hebrews 9: 27 which states that theere will be a judgement after you die.
