wasn't the finish mystery book still in print but they just had to not put in a few pages where they encouraged people to stop supporting the government and fighting in WW1? I smell a rat and don’t think any printing plates were actually destroyed.

Regional Convention - Greenville, SC USA
by HiddenPimo inso my brother who never got baptized went to the convention today (went to make mom and dad happy since they are devastated that i am out) and he got very upset during the baptism talk and walked out because 3 of the candidates were under the age of 12 years of age.
he said they have no clue what they are committing themselves to and will face what you faced (referring to me).
i really wish the usa government would start cracking down on this cult..

Why was Amnon (son of David) not put to death for raping his half-sister Tamar
by blondie init is amazing what comes up when i am researching.. i was thinking about the 2 witness rule.
amnon tricked his half-sister tamar to be alone with him and then raped her.
tamar's full brother absalom found out, it is implied by the wts that there had not been 2 witnesses to the rape (hah!).

Just realized they changed maybe the most important scripture in the bible.
by Crazyguy ini just read the scripture then went and checked in thier older bible and it read the same so i check the greek interlinear and yes they changed john 3:16 .
the verse reads "all who believe in him should not perish but have everlasting life" the cult version says "exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life".. so not only do they say one must exercise faith meaning having to work for it but also they changed should not perish but having everlasting life to might not be destroyed again making a caveat where one does not exist.
just to add to the point verse 18 in both bibles says the one having faith is not judged, totally blowing up thier version of 16 but of course they change 18 to say exercising faith too but it makes little difference, since it says not judged.

Heard the verse john 3:16 again today at meeting and again it really stands out when they state in their bible the phrase “might not parish “ when most Bible read “should not parish”
“should not “ sounds to me like a positive statement that makes me think most likely will not where the phrase “ might not” sound more like the odds are not good but just maybe. Maybe I’m just mincing words but these kind of changes really do in my opinion change the meaning of scriptures and people perceptions.

Speaking of songs
by road to nowhere inthe part last week about entertainment actually was not too over the top especially considering it was chaired by tony.
but i noticed he mentioned the present songs used as being sacred music.
i call them sales ditties.

30 years after leaving utterly unrecognisable
by Number 6 inthis is the first time i have posted on here in many years..... i seldom visit now although this forum was instrumental to me in gaining my sanity in the early 2000's and recovering from the watchtower religion.. by chance tonight i was on youtube and caught a jw.org video which out of curiosity prompted me to look at the official website and amongst other things i looked up the music section.. why that i hear you ask?
music is my passion and nothing reminds me more or evokes more memories than the kingdom songs i grew up listening to.. i am 49 years old and my mother was baptised in 1974. i grew up in the era of pink songbooks and green bibles.
of the theology of fred franz and types and anti-types.
