Even on the Wheel Of Fortune show, the first question they ask them is what they do. People are so quick to categorize each other into work boxes. On the other hand, if someone said they drank all day and was an arsonist, most people would avoid them at all costs.

a pet peeve of mine
by enoughisenough inputting this under "friends" because i couldn't figure out where to put it.
it is very often on here and in ex jw videos, ect that people like to undermine some of those who once we would have called friends.
there seems to be a view that window washers, plumbers, cleaners, construction workers are somehow less intelligent than those who may be college educated.

Careful what you wish for! Regarding Jehovah in the New Testament
by pizzahut2023 inok i'll bite.. let's say for a moment that jehovah's witnesses are right, and that the nt autographs (the originals) contained the tetragrammaton.let's say that the nt writers always wrote "jehovah" in greek (iexoba, as the witnesses spell it currently) when they quoted the hebrew scriptures, whether they quoted from the hebrew version or the septuagint, and jehovah's name appeared on the quote.
let's say that the original septuagint always had iexoba whenever they were referring to jehovah.then we have that the original septuagint said in psalms 101:26-28 the following:"at the beginning it was you, o jehovah, who founded the earth, and the heavens are works of your hands.
they will perish, but you will endure, and they will all become old like a garment.

When this questionable translation was released , the fact that the men who did the translation remained anonymous, is all the information I need to reject their interpretation of the scriptures. Credentials of the men that did this should be available to all who read this translation because some readers are betting their lives that the translators are 100% correct. Readers have no recourse to address questions, such as the blatant addition of the word “other”, and changing crucify to “to the stake with him”.

Confirmed: CO Discourages Zoom
by XBEHERE ini can confirm that the co during one of his service talks stated that zoom is a provision for elderly, infirmed, as well as people who might need it on occasion due to health reasons, otherwise you are expected to be in person at meetings and in the ministry.
this had to come down from the top.
maybe they do not want to put it in a gb update or broadcast since that would be too public i suppose.

Unintended suggestion here for the Governing Body, why not convert the zoom into a paying monthly subscription similar to Netflix or Hulu? Millions would roll in and control of the masses in one scoop.

Watchtower (Study) August 2023 - gaslighting and deflecting again.
by was a new boy in'they turn the story around to make it seem like you are at fault, deflecting attention and blame away from them to make you feel guilty.
this type of emotional manipulation is called gaslighting.. .
deflection is manipulation, and if it's coupled with other toxic relationship behaviors, it may be necessary to remove yourself from the situation.'.

Those that made “GO” bags 3 years ago , around the time Lett said this was the last day of the last days, are now having to throw out all the expired items. Yet still cling to this dinosaur of an organization.

I recall in the 80’s some had issues with Gloria Estefan and Barry Manalo just because they rejected the watchtower teachings. Most still used their music anyway at “gatherings”

Scriptures That Don’t Fit WT Theology
by Sea Breeze inhere’s a couple good ones: a. jesus said, “come to me and i will give you rest”.. why did jesus command us to go to him and not jehovah?.
why does the bible say that the name of jesus is above every name?

Adding the simple word “other” solves this translation obstacle, so after 60+ years with with a parenthesis around this word, the unknown translation committee boldly removed this parenthesis, hoping no one would notice.

ChatGPT analysis - Pure Worship
by Jeffro ini provided chatgpt the text of the introductory ‘letter’ in pure worship, without any commentary to affect the context, and asked it to point out any errors, fallacies or other issues….
as an ai language model, i strive to be neutral and provide information without bias.
however, there are a few things in the text that could be considered fallacies or issues, such as:1. appeal to emotion: the text uses emotional language such as "thrilled" and "exciting" to describe the reaction of those who received the book.
