perhaps this has been discussed before.
1 tim 6:4. nwt .
4 he is puffed up [with pride], not understanding anything, but being mentally diseased over questionings and debates about words.
Too bad Paul didn't write 1st or 2nd Timothy. The author (possibly Polycarp) of those pastoral epistles was actually mentally diseased with putting women down, establishing heirarchy, and many other idea's which were not Pauline.
So forget about translation bias and just throw the whole thing out the window.
in case any of you wondered why those two poor women who were attacked by the pit bull and probably ignored warning signs of a dag being in the yard and posted signs went to the door anyway.. here it is from the latest april 2013 km front page titled "take as a pattern the prophets-jonah".
paragraph #3 "when jonah realized that his bad decision had jeopardized the lives of the mariners, he was willing to sacrifice his life.
(jonah 1:3, 4, 12) later, when fulfilling his commission in nineveh, he walked deep into the heart of the city, perhaps looking for a suitable location to proclaim the judgment of jehovah.
I'd rather get eaten by a whale.
be careful of sanctimony and piety, because both attitudes have big teeth which can devour those flaunting them!.

The Searcher
just re-discovered this gem:.
"it is a matter of fact that the history of the watchtower society is riddled with failed date-setting and abandoned doctrine,1 and the society has gone to great lengths to hide this past from its members.
older (incriminating) watchtower publications are virtually impossible to obtain through the society,2 while at the same time members are overwhelmed with "current" watchtower material.. the watchtower society has even gone as far as to publish disinformation about its own history in an attempt to convince readers that watchtower doctrine has remained consistent over the years, and that the society is not a false prophet.
Julia Orwell, Amazon and eBay are your friends in this matter :)
I bought several books from both places to confirm several quotes and check their context.

i got a interview for today a few days ago.
the interview is for orkin, a pest control company.
i haven't had a interview in a while and hopefully i don't get nervous.
Dress nicely and always maintain eye contact. Go online and search common interview questions. Prepare yourself for the kind of questions you may be asked and how you would respond.
example, in print (may 22, 1969 wt, you will never die).. bold face lies, to show that this organization have been lying.
out of their rear since day one.

the june 15 2013 w pg 13, para 6&7 has an experience of a pioneer that needed $66 to pay her rent the next day.
she prayed and went to work at her job as a waitress.
when she finished her shift she had received a total of $66 in tips.
Too bad those experiences are few and far between.
from this weeks watchtower study:.
in what sense has jehovah felt regret?.
on a number of occasions, the bible mentions that jehovah felt regret.
If we are made in his image, then the same feelings of regret should be the same. I see this as the usual apologetic nonsense fundamentalists use to explain away God's problem.
for those claiming to be the biblical christ-messiah, you are wrong.
i am the christ!
and, i can prove it.. ----.
