  What Did You Think Of The Songs Sung At The Kingdom Hall?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  when i was younger we had song books and i recall that some of the songs were pretty catchy.

  then they revised it took some of those songs out, and added more.

  i have to admit some songs were pretty good.

  They make every effort to not sound hymn like. The old words and unusual grammar arrangements are poetic devices, not church talk. You find them in pop music too

  KH's Still All Closed- How Bad is WT doing Financially?

  by OnTheWayOut in

  most churches are back to in-person worship.

  not jehovah's witnesses.

  is watchtower still managing to fleece the flocks as the sheeple no longer get literature, no longer go to the kh, no longer walk past the donation box?

  Locals just sent a big check because the bank account had money over the recommended (mandated) amount for operations. And no, they didnt think about the needed roof replacement. I got a blank stare when I asked if the "owner" had insurance or a fund for that. I knew the answer, was trolling a bit

  Should Jehovah’s Witnesses Be Involved In Social Issues?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most religious leaders support social justice causes.

  even if they don’t heavily involve themselves in political matters, they still support social community issues.. do you respect when religious leaders involve themselves in the community for the community’s welfare?

  ?.

  No. Social justice is a red herring in most instances

  Doing actual charity work like disaster cleanup would be good but things like reimagining social constructs is wrong. Not that there aren't social constructs that need changed but there almost always is an agenda that gets in the way.

  “Joshua” and “Jesus” are the same Greek and Hebrew/Aramaic name: is this not confusing?

  by psyco in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  god’s name disappeared in the christian greek scriptures and its pronunciation got lost in the hebrew-aramaic ones.

  the current vowels of the hebrew pronunciation of god’s name are taken from the “adonay” (“lord”) hebrew word which were the vowels chosen by who did not want to pronounce his name.

  whereas the current latin pronunciation of god’s name (“jehovah”) was introduced by raymundus martini, a spanish monk of the dominican order, in his book published in 1270 c.e.

  Every name in the bible is made up. The translation describes the person, good or bad. Who assigned the names?

  news is broadcasting that death valley is getting close to breaking a record.

  the highest air temp recorded is 134 but that was in 1913 way before the huge spike in co2.

  now its 130 and its the end of the world.

  Dont forget the records that moved from the courthouse to city park to the airport to the new airport way out in the prairie. Proof of change.

  One news wag said he didn't know the e airport was there in 1887.

  I'm still waiting on the new ice age

  Hoser. Not the lack of education but demonizing anyone who seeks knowledge. I am damn proud of my midwestern hillbilly roots but try to know my grammar and etymology

  At meetings we hear the w in sword, conscience and conscious mixed up, liberry, on and on.
