  What do you mean by "The Bible"?

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  two books that i purchased recently for my research into the latter centuries bce open in similar fashion, having to explain the use of the term, "hebrews' scriptures".

  one book was published in 1971 and again in 1987, while the other book was published in 2017.. i provide a searchable scan of these opening pages:.

  Interesting that someone has down voted every comment that does not blindly support a New York-based corporation.

  "These raids are further evidence that Russia is brazenly persecuting Jehovah’s Witnesses, despite the fact that respected international human rights organizations have condemned their actions. These outright abuses of our religious freedom are not going unnoticed,” David Semonian, international spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses at their world headquarters in New York, told Newsweek.

  Brazen conduct but no claim of criminal or unlawful conduct by David Semonian. Curious use of words.

  'peter didn't snap.

  The family and the deceased are personally known by a number of people within the XJW community here in Australia, including friends of mine. They are in mourning, like many of us, but especially for the children. A tragic situation for all.

  "over a year ago, i volunteered to escort the remains of marines killed in iraq should the need arise.

  the military provides a uniformed escort for all casualties to ensure they are delivered safely to the next of kin and are treated with dignity and respect along the way.

  A lot in Australia have been woken up and a lot have left. This I know as I continually receive phone calls and messages from them as well as personally talking to them at meetups.

  Oh, and I have received the odd Xmas card from former JWs. I think it was their way of expressing they had woken up.

  Last week we commemorated ANZAC Day in Australia for our fallen dead and those who served in battle.

  BOOK REVIEW

  Spoiler alert ... Jesus dies. Putin bans Jehovah's Witnesses. The end doesn't come. No pictures.

  But more seriously, any book about the JWs that can somehow weave together a story about "jehovah," "pink vagina hats" and "sex with robots" (page 224) is a must read for all current elders and those rank-and-file Jehovah's Witnesses under the control of the Watchtower corporation.

  4 stars out of 5.

  Lost in Space -Netflix- No spoilers.

  by smiddy3 in

  2. entertainment

  i have just finished watching the first series 10 episodes and at first i was just a little bit curious and not to sure about it however it certainly grew on me .. it deviates from the old tv series and has a slightly more darker side to it as well as being a bit more modern with life situations judy being coloured and adopted ,and john and maureen a couple with issues and the robot is just out of this world .lets not forget dr.smith as a female and more sinister than her counterpart of the tv series.. i would rate it 8.5 out of 10 .

  and look forward to the next series and hope that their is one because i definitely think it has a future .. anybody else seen it ?

  Grew up on the original series and loved it as a child. Watched the movie with Matt LeBlanc and didn't like it.

  Don't have Netflix but thanks for the review.
