I think it is because people would have a hard time saying Jesus' Witnesses or Jesus's, and would be saying Jesuseeze's Witnesses...
That whole apostrophes for possession is a tough doctrine to overcome...
i was doing research on another topic and this question came to mind.
notice how the wts dances around the question below and then my comments about that and whether historically did the wts see isaiah as applying to all jws or only anointed members, spiritual israel (galatians 6:16)?.
are christians to be witnesses of jesus or jehovah?.

just wondering if anyone has ever posted their personal information and have proof that the borg is watching and sent the gestapo to get them?.
i will be announcing my resignation and da myself - and i am objectively looking at either doing it bud dwyer (not really like him but by extension) style at a meeting or an email blast or just giving a letter to the boe?.
any advice is appreciated.
Very well said Afterburn
the talk outline issued the usual warning - only those mentioned in revelation 14:1 are allowed to partake of the bread & wine.. revelation 14:1 - then i saw, and look!
the lamb standing on mount zion, and with him 144,000 who have his name and the name of his father written on their foreheads.
for active/fading jw's - did your bible reasoning/logic/instincts tell you that the following interpretation makes sense, or did you simply surrender your thinking abilities to others who claimed to be better informed than you?.

Wow, 7 years ago - I know many who were in that pioneer school.
anyway i got kind of cornered this morning about why i wouldn’t be attending the memorial.
i said i’m sorry i just can’t go because i believe that jesus is my mediator.
i guess you can imagine the conversation that ensued.
What’s the best wt source for the mediator teach is only the GB? Thanks.

EVERYONE is exhausted from the routine of meetings and I have yet to hear someone upset about a cancelled meeting.
Have the memorial and Circuit Assembly in same month! 2 weeks of no meetings - everyone is so ecstati.

here's the cruel, uncomfortable and dehumanizing description of transport for disfellowshipped ones:.
in cases of real need, the elders can determine wheth-er some assistance may be provided.
such assistance would be viewed as similar to public transportation in that there should be no conversing with the disfellowshipped or disassociated person.
Look at all those rules and only one verse for them all.

J Dubs got no clue...
then we get to one of the main purposes of the book, a catalog of all the sins you can get disciplined for.
just to be sure, this disclaimer kicks things off:.
listed below are offenses that may require review by a judicial committee.
I always found it interesting when studying the various versions of the Elders manual when I served as an elder that Scriptural backing was often times absent from the different guidelines provided to elders. It make some think that maybe the Scotch was the only spirit directing these writings.
i am not sure if this is getting into the tin foil hat arena, but what if one of the reasons for the carts is to spy out who is leading a double life and to catch the pimo's?
