YES!!! and it is very easy to show if you have the 1979 and 1985 interlinear NWT,, just like to add too, that if any other religous group had done that, the WT society would never let them forget it, or for that matter, any of the false predictions,..... oops, sorry, .......expectations, that have been made in the WT publications over the years, they would never let anyone forget those either.

Have Jehovahs Witnesses Changed the Bible to Fit Their Beliefs
by KSFernando inno, we havent.
on the contrary, when we have discovered that our beliefs were not completely in line with the bible, we have changed our beliefs.. is this correct?.

Do you make your own soup?
by compound complex ingreetings, soup lovers:.
i have a huge kitchen at my disposal (not my own); vegetables, cans of this and that and spices are scattered about, prepared to go into a cauldron of minestrone i started a few days ago.
i'm preparing ahead so as to freeze the leftovers to heat up later at home over my hotplate.. nothing like a 6-burner gas range to simmer over!.

i often make my own soup, remember, the internet is the 'biggest recipe book' in the world so nobody should ever be stuck for soup recipes to try or any other kind of recipe, I make my own bread too, i never knew there were so many different bread recipes on the net, its great.

it would be a priviledge to be able to meet so many, knowing that everyone is here is such a great support in itself. I think its a great thing to be able to all meet up together . At least everybody has in here to 'meet up' and share experiences and support each other.

How I miss the 'Truth' of my youth....
by gingerbread inmy family moved from the city to the country.. part of the reason for the relocation was to move 'to where the need was greater'.
i loved our new home - i was free to roam the woods and fields, enjoy the wildlife, work in our garden and feed the chickens.
i had new friends in our new congregation.

I totaly agree Ginger, the JW's today have no idea what it was like back then in 'the good old days'. I mentioned this to a JW a few days ago and of course they answered with, ' the light gets brighter'. Watchtower theology has moved that far away from what the bible teaches, never mind what the society used to be like.

A one sentence reply that could jolt a JW
by HBH inmy mind was wandering last night, and i though of this as a reply to a jw.. "oh, your the people who believe 8 men in brooklyn, ny are directing the world's only true religion.".
the sentence is a fact that they can't deny, but clearly shows delusion.
any other one sentence "stingers"?.

maybe it wont be too long before, JW's are baptised in the name of the Father, the govering body and the Holy Spirit, the GB have put themselves into that position in anycase anyway, it is only a matter of time. JWs do 'worship' them even though they wont admit it but the JWs have elevated them, in their minds, onto a plateaux above us all .

What's with all the JWs unleashing the hate!?
by Julia Orwell inmost of us here on jwn, while we can get a bit narky at times, can put forth intelligent arguments and sound observations.
sure we can get bogged down with our opinions, but generally we back up our opinions with examples and evidence, and if someone has a different opinion with examples and evidence, we accept that without recriminations.
that's what adults do.. so my question is, why in the last week or so, have a couple of posters claiming to be jws come onto this forum and berated, spewed hate and judgement, and in some cases verbally attacked members personally?

I feel that too, the truth is hurting, they know they are trapped and cant get out. They realise they are being 'had', its playing at the back of their minds but they have invested so much of their own selves and more. All their friends and often family too are jw. They are in a corner with nowhere to go so start lashing out.They are exactly where the watchtower want them to be, all they can do now is to defend the watchtower, they truely are 'captives of a concept'.
