  His 4th point is moot anyway because Jesus followers weren't collectively 'commanded' to preach. They were told to 'go make disciples'. If anything you could argue for a selective preaching work because of Jesus only choosing 35 pairs to go preach rather than send everyone.

  Did Jason B Dunn say the "New World Translation is the most accurate translation there is?" Why make a new Bible than?

  by MagicMItchJensen in

  the circuit overseer mentioned something about the nwt being the most accurate translation according to professor jason b dunn, i heard this nonsense before but never really dug deep in to this topic because non of us really had a choice as jws but to accept all their random musing of our uneducated leaders as factual.

  1. if the new world translation was the picture perfect translation of all the bibles and we went door to door telling everyone we had the "most honest bible", why did they change it to a paraphrased version?

  what success have you had getting jehovah's witnesses to address why they tinkered with the new world translation, it was suppose to be the best translation and now it's turned in to a very loose paraphrased version.

  Wow I must have missed this in all the excitement. I was aware of the revised translation which is not an unusual thing in itself (there has been a revised NIV within the last 10 years) but I had totally missed that it was a paraphrase!

  Wow. Just wow.

  i'm currently working at a rehab facility.

  it also has assisted living, long term care, and hospice.

  the facility allows churches to sign up for planned activities.

  Booklet exposing Trinity Brochure

  by Pubsinger in

  2. scandals

  there was a booklet that exposed the errors, deceptions and misquotes in the trinity brochure.

  i think it was called something like "why should you believe 'should you believe the trinity'" or something like that lol.

  it went through the society's brochure page by page, quote by quote and gave full sources etc.. does anyone know if it's still available, preferably an online copy?.

  What triggered your doubts / awakening?

  by Tornintwo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am sort of new here, used a different username for a while but things got 'difficult' at home so i've since been lurking.... what i would be really interested to know, if you don't mind sharing, is what it was that triggered your doubts and initial research which led to awakening, was it a bad experience, injustice, changed doctrine?

  for me, it was seeing mistreatment of young ones in the congregation, they're under so much pressure and as soon as they go even slightly astray they are shunned, either informally (as bad associations which pushes them further into the 'world') or formally - with elders dying to throw the book at them so they even lose their family.... ...then reading about child abuse issues in the press.... ...which led me to silentlambs.

  ...then jw facts, this forum and coc, wham!

  1995 generation change too. Knew straight away that something was not right. Research went round in circles until 1999 when I found Crisis of Conscience. Was out within 6 months.

  The ONLY basis for power and control is the parable of "the faithful and discreet slave" ??

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so, it seems that the only basis for the governing body / organization's claim to have divine backing and therefore control and power is based on the scripture at matthew :.

  "who really is the faithful and discreet slave?"....

  if that is correct, and this scripture has been thoroughly de-bunked in many other threads, then the fact is the emporer has no clothes on!.

  True. They have no right.

  But they have managed to get 8m+ to GIVE them the right. And that makes it difficult because only the individuals can take that right back.

  Types and anti types

  by Deltawave in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  according the watchtower study of may 10th, it has been made clear no prophetic meaning should be given to a a scripture or passage unless the bible itself gives clear interpretation of it.

  therefore daniel 7 especially gives it's fulfillment to nebuchadnezzar only.

  no future kingdom or 2520year wait til 1914. no gentile times or "this generation".

  I'm sure someone must have mentioned this .....

  Isn't the faithful and discreet slave an anti type?
