  Is "fornication" still used by Witnesses?

  by careful in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in 2013 the revised nwt came out and changed the old edition's "fornication" and its related words "fornicating," "fornicator" etc.

  in all their roughly 70 occurrences.

  has the word completely dropped from usage in the witness world?

  I remember Mike Tyson using the word fornicate,

  I wondered if he studies with the Borg at some point?

  Apostate is an easy excuse

  by Formerbrother in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems to me that if there is something that any jw doesnt want anybody to look into, then they can just say the one word apostate, and nobody wil look at it.. this is rather convenient.. what if it is the truth, still dont even look at it to find out?.

  The trouble is they are now selective about what an apostate is.

  If they want to read it, they say its not apostate.

  All I want is for them to leave us alone, they keep saying they want to help, I wish there was a polite way to say the best way to help is to leave us alone

  How long is a generation?

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what splain does in his talk and chart illustration is make the leap that a generation can have two groups.

  and in this case the two groups span more than 108 years.

  but no where in scripture is there ever a notion that a generation has two groups.

  If the end doesnt come in the next decade or so then they will have to have another new thought about the generations
