  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.

  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.

  The snake of Genesis 3:1

  by Halcon in

  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.

  Vomit Eaters and Filthy Whores

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. beliefs

  the watchtower characterizes christians not affiliated with the watchtower corporation as vomit eaters and filthy whores: .

  “how well they pictured the spiritual drunkards of christendom at the present time!

  besides actual wine and intoxicating liquors, there are other things to intoxicate the priests and preachers in christendom so as to induce drowsiness in them, to make them reel, to confuse things before their religious vision, to induce them to belch out the vomit of spiritually filthy things” - w59 3/1 pp.

  And "Latines" what is that now??? Why not grammatically correct "Latins" or Latinos/Latinas???

  When people go out of their way to change grammar for gender neutral activism it rubs me the wrong way. Call me a Boomer but... It just sounds so made up and wrong. Spanish is a language with only two genders for nouns and adjectives so the gender neutral nonsense just sounds fake and pretentious.

  If you would like to have an impact then state politely that your dad needs help with their software tell them he is advanced in age and the local elders are not helping him sorting out the issue and since you are no longer in the 0rg you cannot help with their software. Could they provide you with the name and address of the CO or could they forward your letter to him?

  Tie them up in requests. Keep writing them every couple of weeks or a month, asking for them to sort it out and fix their problem since they made your dad buy the device.

  Ask them what or who you need to contact to get your father the help he needs as a publisher.

  Don't accept their solutions but come up with a follow up request that they do something. Becoming a pain in their butt will get you more satisfaction than venting your frustration with a letter they will just tag as written by an apostate.

  Keep demanding they do something and be like the widow asking the judge for justice. But be polite and be persistent.

  Does anyone know the total number of times the WT made everyone study it?
  

  IIRC we studied it four different times in the Book Study meetings.
