Matthew 23: 36 is another one that the cross references were "abbreviated". Previously it crossed to Exodus 20: 5 where it speaks of, "fathers upon sons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation." The grey Bible has removed it entirely. Can't have the Bible contradicting what the GB say makes up a generation, now can we?

Revised NWT...cross references...Has anyone noticed....?
by 4thgen injust let me say, i hate the gray bible.
when i read the revision of mal 3:10 and they included tithing, i almost vomited.
recently though, my invalid mother asked me to read to her and the only thing available was the gray bible.

One of our daughters complained that during recess at her school, some Witness youths behave in a way that she thought was not proper.
This statement caught my eye also. Recess implies a pretty young child, and as such what business did SHE have judging other youths behavior? She is being taught well by her critical parents to use "conscience" as a club to beat her fellow youths with.
“My conscience would not let me share as fully in class discussions as I normally did. I could not support the theory of evolution."
Apples and oranges. Sharing in class discussion does not equate to support. Many years ago when OFS was in school students were encouraged to discuss subjects from both sides of the issue. Why couldn't this (fictional?) student have done just that?
This WT was messed up on many levels, wasn't it?

Please could you give me your opinions on this statement? . . .
by Miss Worldly in'i have prayed, and confessed my sins to my god, i'm not telling them (the elders) anything'.
.. could this be a significant sign that there maybe a small dent in the armour of an active jw?
or is it just a case of 'keep your nose out' ?

It seems they have at least one article or assembly talk a year that states that "serious sins" (dfing offenses) have to be confessed to the elders in order to gain forgiveness.
Every time I have heard this line of uncastrated male bovine excrement from them I always ask someone near me, "When are the confessionals going to begin being built in the KH so we can go to confession?"

Anton and Jessica, aren't they the same two "acting" in the new tear jerker movie depicting how there is no such thing as love unless one is the typical JDubya slave? -

Farewell

a farewell is necessary before you can meet again.
and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.

I Hate the Sound of the Word Jehovah
by cofty inlistening to clips of the latest manipulative video from the watchtower i realised how much i detest that word - jehovah.. sometimes i have thought it would be interesting to observe a meeting or part of a convention.
every time i heard that word i would be unable to stay in my seat.. i have a visceral reaction every time i hear it.
it stands for so much that i have contempt for.

On the other hand, I love Jeehoober, Jay-hoobar, Jeehobo, Jeehoobidoob and Jeehoover!
Those are funny. I asked a friend how many names "god" had. They said, "Just one. Jehovah."
I told them that there were many names. Jehobo. . .god of the homeless. Jehoover. . .god of the house-keepers. Jehoho. . .god of the comedians.

Which bible character do you hate the most?
by Bonsai inthe more i think about it, the more i feel an extreme dislike for the apostle paul.
he was on par with hitler in his treatment of the jews before he "saw the light".
he replaced jesus teachings of love and mercy with a more legalistic, pharisaical concept of devotion to god.. any evil person can come to believe in god and worship him if the scales were literally and miraculously removed from his eyes.

As in the case of David, God and his Law was severe with poor fellas (especially women), but very loose with favored kings and patriarchs..
That explains quite well the way eldurrs today treat "their" congregations, doesn't it?
