not only are their different translations from different denominations ,like the greek orthodox ,russian orthodox ,roman catholic .various protestant versions and others as well as the nwt of jw`s.. however various denominations print different versions of the bible which fair enough may only be minor differences yet at the same time they are differences to what they previously printed .?.
and some have serious discrepancies .. as if they are trying to get to the true meaning of what god or jesus christ actually said or meant ?.
are they for real ?
Why are there so many different Translations ?
For the same reason there are so many different translations of the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clbnspvradui have seen the documents myself but i am not able to share them without jeopardizing the source.the rtl broadcasting company has spoken to the orginal source and we know that these documents are real..
Thanks.
it was announced in this year’s annual meeting that they believe that the king of the north is russia and the king of the south is us/britain.
for me this is the first time hearing from the society actually identifying the identity of the king of the north.
very interesting times!
Did the governing body of Jehovah’s Witnesses just hand Putin all the ‘scriptural’ legitimacy he needs to attack JWs in Russia?
Be careful what you wish for.
PUTIN: “Thy will be done!”
how many think they will announce in the annual meeting they just gonna have one meeting a week?
if they dont it will be astonishing, amazing and other things..
“Will this be our last Annual General Meeting? It could be. It could be.”
But ... we all know it won’t be.
What to expect (in no particular order)
1. Something about growth but without facts or evidence and persecution in Russia ... and needing money. [insert talk from Mark ‘crock-of-sh!t’ Sanderson here].
2. Something about ‘new light’ but without facts or evidence ... and needing money. [insert talk from David ‘no clue’ Splane here along with some new BS].
3. Something about how Jehovah helped some random Jehovah’s Witness named Andre or something similar ... and needing money. [insert talk by random brother here].
4. Something about building new Kingdom Halls, despite the fact more and more are being closed down and sold off ... and needing money. [nsert talk by wanna-be GB member (aka Paul Gillies) here].
5. Something about needing more money ... and needing money (wash, rinse, repeat). [Insert talk from Stephen ‘we just love this new idea’ Lett here].
6. Something about living in ‘the last days’ and how ‘Jehovah is speeding it up’ and how the imaginary persecution is ‘proof we are the true religion’ and random homophobic attack ... and needing money. [insert talk from Tony ‘hot dogs’ Morris here].
7. Something about Satan’s attacks and false news reports on child abuse and not to believe the media etc. ... and needing money [insert talk by Geoffrey ‘Jackass’ Jackson here].
Concluding song and prayer about ... needing more money.

August 18, 2018
On the weekend of the 11th and 12th of August over 100 people from 13 countries, including seven Australians, gathered on the grounds of ExCeL London and held a peaceful and colourful protest to coincide with the Jehovah’s Witnesses ‘Be Courageous’! convention. A second protest will be held over the weekend of the 18th and 19th at the same location.
The main purpose of the JW Protest is to highlight the serious and persistent global child sexual abuse problem within the Church of Jehovah’s Witnesses and the related practice of shunning.
As part of the 2018 JW Protest in London a Resolution has been put forward by the protest committee for adoption. Item 10 of the Resolution reads:
“We Invite the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses to ‘Be Courageous’! and ‘Say Sorry’! to all child abuse victims from within the Jehovah’s Witnesses, past and present, some of whom are here today adopting this resolution, so that they and us may heal as we still hurt.”
It is the 2018 JW Protest committee’s hope that our Resolution is read by as many current members of Jehovah’s Witnesses as possible, including those on the Governing Body.
well today marks the beginning and biggest day of our protest at the london excel.. we believe it's a record number at around 100 exjws at the front door.. we spoke to lots of jw's and one young man studying who has quit after talking to us.
we've been approached privately by jw's who thanked us for coming and the security at the event treated us very well.. if anyone wants to see some clips they are available on my channel the great apostate.. thanks to all for the support and love..

"Air baths are good for preventing colds. What you do is strip naked mornings and evenings and then bob up and down for a while.” Golden-Age Feb 1926 pg 310
Yep. I can just imagine it now. Mrs J.F. Rutherford walks into the office of the President of Watch Tower one morning...
Mrs J.F. Rutherford: "Who's she."
Mr J.F. Rutherford: "She's my faithful and discreet servant."
Mrs J.F. Rutherford: "And what is your servant doing bobbing up and down like that?"
Mr J.F. Rutherford: "She's taking an air bath."
