EX JW teen just signs with legendary producer!!!!!
by Lady Liberty indear friends,.
it has been a long time since i have posted.
time heals much pain, and finally, my family and i have been able to move on with our life outside of jw land.. many of you became our friends, our support system, and you know very well our exit story...we were labeled, slandered and disfellowshipped for having questions regarding the date 607. we sent out letters exposing the elders and circuit overseer to over 200 families.

DAMN! First thing I noticed was the Whopper, didn't notice the scantily clad model on the billboard to the right until double checking after 88JM's post. What does that mean?!

Another Revised NWT Thread - subtly sowing seeds of doubt with chart
by mindnumbed inpages 1744 thru 1746 feature a chart of the kings of the southern kingdom, ending with zedekiah in 607.. praise the new bible and all of the teaching aids .... draw attention to kings list and how convenient that is ... but, strangely, i decided to look up information in an encyclopedia about the different kings, and the dates are not the same ... so i checked a couple of sources and they are all different than the chart in the bible .... why would that be?.

Most modern historians follow either the older chronologies established by William F. Albright or Edwin R. Thiele, or the newer chronologies of Gershon Galil and Kenneth Kitchen. All dates are BCE.

The five non-JW sources of chronolgy are similar, especially consistent from Manasseh through Zedekiah. Why is the Watchtower so different? Where do they get their dates? What historical references do they use?
You would think that this would at least make a thinking JW want a reasonable answer.

Nice Pics!
Your license plate must be a talking point for JW's!
(They used the wrong term on the sign, WATCHTOWER is the magazine, WATCH TOWER is the corporation.)

The kid doesn't look like a very happy person if his picture is an accurate representation.
With all of the anti-jw videos he is watching and commenting on, it will all build and hit him one day. He's doing exactly what the GB doesn't want, he thinks he is defending truth while in reality he is filling his mind with things that will eat away at the foundation of his religion.

It appears the Ex-JW community is having a huge impact on the way funerals are being handled at the KH
by StoneWall injust wanted everyone to know that i got back today/night from my second jw funeral in less than 3 months and that both of them (2 different halls),were handled completely different than in times past.. used to be it seemed like a recruitment opportunity (as many of you have pointed out before), but these last two times it was totally different from previous times.
it didn't seem like they used the outline at all that had been posted in another thread a while back.. that was kinda interesting and refreshing at the same time to actually hear them focus more on the individual that had passed instead of only a few minutes about them and the rest all about the org.
(wt).

on the one hand, this is certainly a good thing, although I doubt it is organizational policy, if it were, we would see a letter from the Organization
on the other hand, in some ways the Organization is trying to put on a softer appearance now days, however, as long as they continue to influence so much control on friendships, education, shunning, etc., the softening in some areas just makes it easier for the mind to go along with the cult

My JW contact told me that all the bracketed words from the former JW Bible have been deleted because those weren't in the original manuscripts.
JWOP, If that is what your contact said, they didn't really understand the explanation as to why the brackets were removed.

I book that JW's love to refer to is Truth in Translation by Jason BeDuhn as it commends the New World Translation as one of the most accurate modern translations, however, he addresses the issue of Jehovah in the New Testament as being a deviation from being a literal translation as there are no fragments that support this decision.
Also, it is okay to refer to this work of BeDuhn as the Organization actually quotes the book in an Awake! article in support of the New World Translation.
