w13 7/15 p. 6 par. 11 - "In the mid-1990’s,.............It was noted that Jesus became King of God’s Kingdom in 1914."
w12 8/1 p. 17 When Did Jesus Become King? - "Events since 1914 confirm that Jesus became King in that year."
Just curious, in view of the slight discrepancy in your "food at the proper time."
new system, brother, sister , kingdom hall, wordly person, in the truth .
there is a whole jw language that has to be deprogrammed..
Other non-Biblical J.W. phrases: Governing body/helpers, monthly report, God's earthly/heavenly organization, circuit overseer, judicial committee, obey "the slave." :)
according to the bible, "the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.
" (1 john 5:19).
according to the deluded "slave", it's jesus; w73 8/1 p. 459 par.
According to the Bible, "the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." (1 John 5:19)
According to the deluded "slave", it's Jesus; w73 8/1 p. 459 par. 9 - "However, God’s Kingdom rule is to embrace much more than the Christian congregation! In the year 1914, in striking fulfillment of Bible prophecy, and amid the warfare of the worldly nations, “the kingdom of the world” rightfully became Christ’s."
The WT CD ROM is a treasure trove of such little gems. No wonder the Borg wants to distance itself from its historical foot-in-mouth prophecies & propaganda.
i have seen a few comments about the nwt being an altered version of the bible and i must admit that when they released the new one it did not sit right with me.. i want to read the bible but not the nwt.
i also do not want to read one that has the thee and thou and ye etc because that will do my head in.. what translations do you recommend?.
Easy answer - don't use one, use several - and when you feel impelled to compare contrasting verses, seek out a Hebrew/Greek concordance on-line to establish which translation is nearer the original meaning.
You'll eventually see that various translations have been lazy/doctrinally biased, and simply plagiarised other badly translated verses; e.g Revelation 5:10 - "And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." (King James Version)
The RNWT copied the word 'kings' - instead of using 'kingdom' as other Bibles do, and changed the Greek word for 'on' into 'over.' Some other translations do likewise.
so i was reading thru a fb feed about poor chester bennington and in relation chris cornell, there were some rather heated and unusual (or usual whatever you may think ) comments... no disrespect to believers but since leaving the jws i just see this type of discussion as lunacy.
... "chester is going to hell ,he killed himself so it's black and white in god's word ."..
"why would a loving god send a person who suffers from mental illness to hell?
w75 7/15 p. 447 Questions From Readers - What viewpoint does God’s Word indicate that Christians should have toward suicide?
"One who intentionally takes his own life, does so in utter disregard for the sacredness of life; he becomes bloodguilty. When one commits suicide while in possession of one’s mental faculties, this shows one to be void of morality, lacking faith, having no fear of God. It is a cowardly act, where one refuses to face up to the problems and responsibilities of life."
Spot on WTBTS, the three individuals I've known who committed suicide were in total possession of all their mental faculties and had absolutely no justification for committing self-murder as you describe it.
What a loving and compassionate organization you are - clearly, God IS directing you.

The graphic pyramidal structure of the organization - with the 7 dwarfs (G.B.) at the top - would have old Charles T. rubbing his hands in glee.
May governmental chariots roll over the cult and cause it to suffer - to an extreme degree!

's) the figurative woman who's mentioned in revelation chapter 12 is none other than god almighty's heavenly organization - with its myriads upon myriads of powerful spirit creatures.. it-2 p. 187 - "it would follow that the “woman” is god’s “wife,” the “jerusalem above,” the “mother” of christ and his spiritual brothers.

Complaining? No, just trying to divert people away from examining what the cult's own literature says - something which seems to touch a nerve with you. Interesting.
"They WHERE interesting?" (the word is 'were', I think!)
My, my, is this deliberate or are you just trying to give a deliberately wrong impression?
Enough is enough - "pearls before swine" and all that. Enjoy any future direct quotes from your org which I may post.

I came here to get away from people like you - obfuscating J.W. apologists, who refuse to address the point being made. I can do that as well. You said, "And actual believe has nothing to do with it"
For someone who nitpicks others' highlights & italics, may I point out that you've misspelt 'belief' (it's not 'believe', as in your context) as well as omitting periods to end your sentences.
Your School Overseer can give you counsel on such errors.

I'm missing something here. I think if you read the part which you've personally highlighted, I did actually say "GOD'S omnipotence. I never said anything about the WOMAN being omnipotent.
Is there any special reason why you're trying to deflect attention away from what the cult actually says? Unless of course you are an active J.W., in which case, I will respect your choice to believe what you are told is truth.
p.s. Why are YOU using italics and bold lettering in both of your responses????????????
