the emphasized bible (rotherham) is now included in the wt library under "other bibles.".
therefore it joins kit, kjv, asv, & the bible in living english in such group.. any thoughts?.
Mantey was not the most honest of persons, laying claim to H. E. Dana's work as his own. Mantey's contributions to the revision of Dana's A Manual Grammar of the Greek New Testament were minor. In his letter complaining that Watchtower misused a quotation from it, he said the paragraph in question was his own work. It was not.
The Watchtower continues to use the quotation, but attributes it to the original edition by H. E. Dana.

I agree with Minimus. This poster does not appear to be genuine. I vote troll. ... I would change my mind if he elaborated in a convincing way.
to the majority of people who investigate the activities of the wts from its beginning history there were obvious false proclamations and doctrines propagated by the wts.. a matter of fact the wts produced a long list of literature that posted proclamations on the front cover and went into detail of things that were suppose to happen, from jesus returning changing the world in which we live and so on.. wonderful things one might say but not factual or either theologically correct .

It's a very small religion that does not have a publishing arm. That the Watchtower publishes more, and often better written, material than many others would not dissuade a committed adherent. Uncle B, the surviving author of the Separate Identity series, pointed me to the concept of Triumphalism. We were discussing the lack of rational refutation in the Russell era. But the thought applies to Watchtower belief as well. Douglas Hall, in The Cross in Our Context: Jesus and the Suffering World (2003), wrote:
"The tendency in all strongly held world views, whether religious or secular, to present themselves as full and complete accounts of reality, leaving little if any room for debate or difference of opinion and expecting of their adherents unflinching belief and loyalty. Such a tendency is triumphalistic in the sense that it triumphs - at least in its own self-estimate - over all ignorance, uncertainty, doubt, and incompleteness, as well, of course, as every other point of view." - page 15.
This is the issue with Witness adherents as well as their conservative Protestant opponents. If you see your belief system as fixed and inerrant, you will avoid debate as unnecessary. You will pity those on the outside. But you will not question your faith.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to help B with his research for Separate Identity vol 3. Scans of letters, documents and post cards by Russell or any early Bible Student are helpful. Do you have any? Will you please share them?

i have been to the city hundreds of times.
i’ve always loved the vitality of the city and no one could ever say that you could get bored in nyc.
i regularly went for business during the day and in the evenings go to local bars and restaurants as well as the village.
It's a Democrat-run garbage pit, full of crime.

so i was watching an evans video he just put out where he was interviewing a man about how the cult treated his daughter who was rapped as a criminal.
the man said his wife's first experience with an apostate site was here.
i could tell by the look on his face he did not like that site and then could not help himself and said that he could not recommend going to this site.
Providing a service? By focusing on the questionable beliefs of anti-witness advocated or on meaningless inconsequentials? He grasps at anything to make a video just to keep his toes in the water and make a buck. There is no public service in this.

He seems to rely on money generated from his videos. If so, he is manipulating the ex-JW community for his own profit. In his book he seems to revel in behaviors many would reject. I've never met him, but I neither trust nor like him.
