i have been following a number of posts discussing the august watchtower study magazine.
i really don't believe this common idea being passed around that it's being timed for the annual meeting.
here's why.. the august watchtower will be available on servers not long before its public release.
Those paragraphs are written using poor English grammar.
The WT would have all sorts of editors catching grammatical mistakes as blatant as those in the three paragraphs supposedly from the August issue.
I call b.s. on the content of the paragraphs since the wording can't be trusted. Unless LaFrancia translated from a foreign language version. Is that the case?
Something is rotten and smells funky with those three paragraphs. Who cut the frommage? Maybe it was Lösch.
john 14:6 - "jesus said to him, “i am the way, the truth, and the life.
no one comes to the father except through me.".
certain christian denominations lie & contradict jesus' crystal clear statement, by promoting the following dogma:.
Or as JW.0rg would say only through their organization or as the Mormons would say only through their church, etc. Ad nauseam.
should women be given authority in god's congregation?yorww congregation manuscript #1009in the beginning, god created man and woman, created both them in his "image," and according to his likeness.
this means, of course, jehovah god originally endowed both man and woman with the same capabilities and qualities of his own likeness.
thus, man and woman have the same god-given abilities, gifts and attributes so as to reflect all the "fruits of the spirit" and godly qualities in their lives, if they so desire.
That was waaaayyyy too long a post to read. COULD YOU POST A LINK NEXT TIME??? and just summarize or put an abstract here on the forum?
woman who died and 'went to heaven' says she now knows when armageddon will happen (msn.com).
It does not appear there is clinical evidence that she was dead for three days as she claims, just her word.
for the first time in ages.. a very elegantly dressed senior lady and a young chap.
but--it wasnt just having a leaflet thrust at me--it was a full blown "old style" presentation.
i stopped her going to far into it--by asking if they are jws--and told them i was an apostate.
Now JWD/JWN is more like JWDF that is Jehovah's Witness Discussion Forum. N'est ce pas ?

She could be one of the PIMO JWs who remain in the Congregations to reform the 0rganization from within. It's a growing movement <ehem> the reason the partakers numbers keep going up mostly </ehem>. They realize some people exit the 0rganization not because they leave God, but because they can't put up with the Pharisaic control, thus they are not apostatizing from Christ.
It is for freedom that Christ sets us free.
new world translation of the christian greek scriptures released in fon.
https://www.jw.org/en/news/region/benin/new-world-translation-of-the-christian-greek-scriptures-released-in-fon/.
wikipedia states under "fon language > machine translation efforts":.
A machine that was trained on WT speak!!!
With the high frequency of quaint expressions in WT-speak it would be amusing. I remember growing up hearing foreign language versions of the WT publications thinking Bible Study phrasing was a weird religious sort of talking, somehow special, and I associated it with speaking "The Truth". (Like system of things for world, and offspring for children, etc) Come to find out as I grew up it was just awkward and inadequate translation of peculiarly cultish, idiosyncratic speech.
there was on older white-haired circuit overseer in houston around 1989 or 1990. last name started with a w i think.... not sure though.
even the most brain-dead robotic elders told me he was offensive.

Most of them and especially so, Scott Henry and his father before him DO Henry. Both of them, the acorn didn't fall too far from the old trunk. Company men without love of goodness. Blind guides, inspired by the unholy governing body evil slaves and rotten offspring of deceit.
we've got some really knowledgeable members on here so i have a question for them and everybody.
what was the earliest adjective used to describe the snake of genesis 3:1?
currently one can read words in english translations like 'cunning' and 'crafty'....but in other languages you see words like 'wise' and astute...which convey a completely different idea.. i'm wondering what may have been the earliest and most accurate adjective known or used.
Dr. Michael S. Heiser has did a great explanation you can find on ChannelC2tv in YouTube:
