i did a quick search and this doesn’t appear to have been commented on here, but if it has been, i apologise in advance for starting an unnecessary thread.. regarding a change to a song title, the study article on page 7 paragraph 17 of november 2017 watchtower explained, “the change of the title “guard your heart” to “we guard our hearts” was most considerate.
in the audience at our meetings, assemblies, and conventions are many new ones, interested ones, young ones, and sisters who by singing the words would be put in the awkward position of telling others what to do.
so the title and the lyrics were modified.”.
But Watchtower has actually watered down the sexism of the Bible, somewhat.
Yea, I guess JW women of today are better off than their first century counterparts. And much better off than their ancient Israelite counterparts. But of course, it’s not because the WT is any more enlightened – they just needed their womenfolk to spread the word, for left to the men alone, the WT would be a fraction of its size.

The more I think about this the more it astonishes me. Even by Watchtower standards, this paranoia that any woman should be seen instructing a man, even in a song, is pretty extreme. What will the GB object to next?
greetings, dreamers:.
i guess it's never going away: daytime carryovers of jw-related stuff seeping into my dreams.. the majority of these dreams take place at conventions but with really weird trappings.
last night i dreamed i arrived at the site with no books, no lunch, nothing but my car keys.
It’s been 38 years since I last went on field service, and I still have the occasional dream that I’m on it again. It’s never particularly unpleasant, but it’s weird because the people I’m on the service with I’ve never met before, and I don’t understand why I don’t just tell them all to ef-off. The more unpleasant dreams are those where I’m back at work, with all the stress and pressure that my last decade or so at work gave me. And I retired seven years ago. From those, I do often wake up with a sweat, followed by tremendous relief.
here in the uk--private--or personal- car registration plates are popular.. heres one i photo'd tonight.. .
"Ok, I'll bite. What is the hidden message in "OBO 110X"?"
Oh Bollocks
here in the uk--private--or personal- car registration plates are popular.. heres one i photo'd tonight.. .
Personally I wouldn't pay extra for a number plate, except perhaps for this one - OBO 110 X.
the superstar of all scriptures.
for god so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.. .
but i just learned something about it.. i try to look at different translations of the bible and the lexham english bible words it a bit different.... 16 for in this way god loved the world, so that he gave his one and only son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life.
I can't see that it matters either way. If God loved the world at all, it wouldn't be
in the state it's in.
1. in bro sandersons latest video (in which he shows a very impressive skill with russian) he mentions two likely results of the imminent russian ban: the liquidation of the branch office and its assets, and the individual brothers capacity to worship freely.
no prizes for guessing which one gets mentioned first!.
2. why have the gb never attempted in the past, and are not interested in attempting now, such a letter writing campaign in other communist countries where the work is under similar restrictions, like china, or vietnam?
During the letter writing campaign for Malawi, we were instructed to contact all government officials living in our territory to ask them to join the letter writing campaign. I was new, and diligently followed that instruction, seeking out all local/district/county councillors, and giving them the templates we had.
If your average Dub was asked to write to political leaders on behalf of any other group, say Syrian refugees, they would say, "sorry, can't help, it would compromise my political neutrality".
Wouldn't it be great if they widened their campaign and started asking the public in general to join them? I would love to see their face when they knock on my door and I tell them I can't help because I'm politically neutral.
are people taking this man seriously?
.
he looks genuinely mentally ill. .
