  JW Expressions We Hate

  by Socrateswannabe in

  i was browsing through stuff on jw.org recently and ran across some expressions that really grate on my nerves: loyal love, loving-care, and loving-kindness, as in: "please exercise loving-kindness toward your servant.

  " who talks like that?

  they must be relics of the fred franz era.

  Insert disc into your disc drive. It should run automatically - so just click on all the steps it gives you until it starts copying it to your hard drive. It will ask if you want a desktop icon. Click yes.

  If it doesn't run automatically, find the disc drive on your PC, and click on the CD icon to enable you to see the file name "SETUP".

  Click on that and it will do it all for you.

  If you don't have a disc, you'll have to wait until someone uploads the 2015 WT Library to the net for downloading.

  Thoughts on John 7:53-8:11??

  by BarelyThere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i always accepted that the nwt said that these verses in john were not in the most reliable manuscripts.

  i thought it was strange that while the "old" nwt at least included the verses, the "revised" nwt completely omits them.

  now i'm trying to do research on my own, but my head is still spinning from all of the information i've taken in the past week.

  In truth, these verses shouldn't affect anyone's faith, one way or the other.

  Witnesses would do better to examine the internal & external evidence regarding the "accepted" wording of Matthew 28:19. (see http://jesus-messiah.com/apologetics/catholic/matthew2819.html)

  Also, they may wish to check out John 3:16 etc. and discover that "exercising faith" is a NWT corruption of the Greek word pisteo, which means "believe", "have confidence in", or "be persuaded." (Blueletterbible.org)

  My First CLAM Meeting

  i carried out my monthly "cover" visit to the k.h.

  tonight.

  as previously discussed on this forum, the clam meeting is just a rehashed, recycled, reshuffled, & rebranded ministry school and service meeting.

  BigDummy - totally in tune with all of your comments.

  As for this one - An elder was giving a part a few weeks ago that required audience participation and at one point he asked a question and there was dead silence for about 30 seconds - an arrogant elder in my previous congregation got an even longer silence when he asked a question in his item. His response to the silent audience was, "Have any of you actually prepared this item??"

  What a gentle & loving shepherd. He's now a CoBE!

  I carried out my monthly "cover" visit to the K.H. tonight.

  As previously discussed on this forum, the CLAM meeting is just a rehashed, recycled, reshuffled, & rebranded Ministry School and Service Meeting.

  The apathy in the congregation (barely 50% in attendance) was palpable! I discreetly looked at different ones during the proceedings, and their stony facial expressions spoke volumes. This religion is not the one they signed up for, and several looked as if they'd lost the will to live. The young married couple in front of me kept themselves occupied by whispering sweet nothings to each other throughout the meeting. The same 7 or 8 people kept answering the questions from the platform. This meeting compounds the Corporation's major blunder of cancelling the home Book Study Group.

  I know - this post is in the Jokes & Humour section, but this meeting is one bad joke!!!

  I'll sleep well tonight.
