Dear Tammie,
Thank you so much for posting the verses - I always wanted to know what they said.
According to the Wacthtower, these verses are "uninspired".
Christian Love,

Wow, you must have put a lot of thought into that issue. I'm impressed with your criticism
Dear Sword of Jah, I posed you 2 questions and they remain unanswered. Can you please respond? ISAIAH: " YOU who are making mention of Jehovah, let there be no silence on your part," Thanks in advance. Christian Love, AAF

The Watchtower Society claims to provide humankind with the most accurate and the most complete version of the Holy Scriptures. Wouldn't be reasonable to say that a Bible that is to be used in public to give an accurate witness about Our Heavenly Creator Jehovah God should also include all explanatory footnotes for all omitted Scriptures to be considered as being complete in Jehovah God's Eyes?
What gives the Watchtower the authority not to include explanatory footnotes in the smaller version just "because the smaller NWT Bible version would be to big to carry in the field ministry and not portable? "Please refer to this quote given by an elder to Blondie ( see above on her post to me.)
Dear Pork Chop,
This issue is a big issue for me as I'am a Christian.
Take care.

A question for Sword of Jah
by AwakenedAndFree indear sword of jah, .
please explain to me this watchtower doctrine, which still stands today as a revealed truth from the faithful and discreet slave class revealed in 1935 still taught today: .
judge rutherford, representing the watchtower society announced in 1935 in a convention that the doors to heaven were shut down in 1935, and the gathering of the annointed class was accomplished in 1935. .

Sword of Jah said:The point is that JWs did not prophesy, they were trying to understand a prophesy that is already written in the Bible.
Dear Sword of Jah If the Watchtower Society did not prophesy, please show me the prophesy in the Holy Scriptures that the Watchtower Society used in the understanding of the 1935 (1930's) - Heavenly Calling doctrine. Does the prophecy mention 1935? Thanks in advance. ISAIAH 62:6:" ... :"YOU who are making mention of Jehovah, let there be no silence on your part," Christian Love, AAF Thanks in advance.

In conclusion, don't you think if the larger version includes explanatory footnotes, the smaller versions should also, to make all WT published Bibles equal?
Sword of Jah said:
"What's your point? It's a silly question."
Dear Sword of Jah,
My point is a logical one, and my question is a fair one.
Yes, The Watchtower offers 2 versions of the Bible: The larger version NWT Bible has footnotes, and the smaller NWT version Bible, which is used mostly in your field service has no footnotes.
That makes the smaller version an incomplete Bible. Is that hard to understand?
The Watchtower Society claims to provide humankind with the most accurate and the most complete version of the Holy Scriptures. Wouldn't be reasonable to say that a Bible that is to be used in public to give an accurate witness about Our Heavenly Creator Jehovah God should also include all explanatory footnotes for all omitted Scriptures to be considered as being complete in Jehovah God's Eyes?

That's my point!

Dear Blondie,
Many thanks for your comments and references.
When I asked an elder why the footnotes were not in the smaller NWT, I was given a typical elder non-answer of that the smaller NWT would be too big and not portable for the ministry if they were included.
Doesn't this make the smaller version NWT Bible incomplete over the larger WT Bible version?
Thankfully you had the larger version Bible with you, (it was portable to you, wasn't it?) otherwise how embarrassing!

No, the year 1935 is not in the Bible. The organization now uses the expression "in the 1930's". The organization uses these dates because that's when the information was clarified No, the year 1935 is not in the Bible.
Dear Sword of Jah,
You said that the organization uses the above dates because that' when the information was clarified - you mean the date was clarified by man, and not by Jehovah God? The date (dates), (1935), (1930's) are not NOT in the Scriptures!
Do you know what the Scripture says about man setting dates? It's not under man's jurisdiction to do so, but only in God's own jurisdiction.
Here is a Scripture for your benifit:
MATTHEW:15:9:" It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach commands of man as doctrines."
Another Scripture for your benefit:
Acts 1:7:" He said to them:" It does not belong to YOU to get knowledge of the times or seasons which the Father has placed in his own jurisdiction;"

Blondie said:" The omitted scriptures have no footnote in the small NWT"
Dear Sword of Jah,
Why is it that the Watchtower Society include explanatory footnotes for omitted Scriptures in the larger Bible version and it does not include explanatory footnotes on the smaller version Bible?
The smaller Bible (I'am referring to the medium sized-one) has no explanatory footnotes to inform the reader reason of Scripture omission. Why?
In conclusion, don't you think if the larger version includes explanatory footnotes, the smaller versions should also, to make all WT published Bibles equal?
The Reasoning Book does not answer the question I posed you .
I'am awaiting for your response.
Thanks in advance.
Christian Love,

Dear Blondie,
Thanks for the info. So, the smaller version does not include explanatory footnotes, only the larger version does. Aren't they suppose to print all their Bibles exactly in the same format and not leave anything behind ? I always used my regular - sized Bible when I went out in service. Thankfully, I never had anyone commenting on the NWT Bible missing Scriptures. How embarrassing it would be for me representing the true God Jehovah and not been able to have an explanatory footnote on my Bible to explain to the householder reason of omission.
So, in conclusion, the WT Bibles differ from another, the larger size has footnotes, and the smaller size has none!
Christian Love,
AAF
