  So how exactly did this "new translation" come to be?

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a normal person, upon hearing that a new (or revised) bible translation has been released, would have 2 questions spring to mind almost immediately:.

  1) who did the work, and what are their credentials?.

  2) what manuscripts is the work based on?.

  My first question is why on earth did they need to change the bible? Has God gone and stuffed up again?

  What's with all the JWs unleashing the hate!?

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most of us here on jwn, while we can get a bit narky at times, can put forth intelligent arguments and sound observations.

  sure we can get bogged down with our opinions, but generally we back up our opinions with examples and evidence, and if someone has a different opinion with examples and evidence, we accept that without recriminations.

  that's what adults do.. so my question is, why in the last week or so, have a couple of posters claiming to be jws come onto this forum and berated, spewed hate and judgement, and in some cases verbally attacked members personally?

  All dubs now seem to be more negative, more angry and generally more hateful people than Ive ever known them to be in my 40 years. I am shunned by 95% of them and Ive only been fading for a year. They are scared, confused and have more doubts deep down than ever before too. Armaggeddon never came to save them from having to go to school, get married, have kids, become grandparents, retire and now even die. i want to scream it from the rooftops.... ITS A LIE, A SCAM AND A FRIGGIN CULT!!!

  so how high will the jw app climb up the app store download charts on monday?.

  will it be high enough to register on any third party lists of what's hot?.

  can you imagine what the wts would make of it being on the front page of the app store?.

  brazen conduct, dissensions

  by hoser in

  2. bible

  as predicted by jwn loose conduct has been replaced by brazen conduct.

  galations 5:19 2 peter 2:2 .

  a catch all phrase for apostates.

  The english language that I know speaks more often of 'loose', as in loose woman and loose morals than it does of the word 'brazen'. It is a change to suit themselves.

  it's difficult to imagine how this video could be more disingenuous and hypocritical.

  So weird. No KH or preaching in it. Had to check I was watching the right video. Reminded me of something off Sesame Street.

  Thanks for your story Zak, so glad you are OUT and relieved, now time to get your lovely wife out. Im glad to hear that your kids dont go to the KH, my kids found it damaging and depressing while they were made to go. Now we are all out and living life the way WE choose, not according to how 8 old out of touch old farts think we should be living.

  If you send a video to the co-workers maybe it could be asking them for help in getting through to your Daughter who is stuck in this crazy mind control cult. All the best.
