  Conveniently unused scripture

  by Pleasuredome in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  now that ive stopped going to meetings, ive had to become the faithful and discreet slave for myself, so to speak, and read the bible often and meditate on what it says.

  just last night, i read this scripture that dumbfounded me: -.

  now jehovah is the spirit; and where the spirit of jehovah is, there is freedom.

  Hello,heres a site for yahs.I thought it was interesting.You all may have read this anyways...

  http://www.letusreason.org/JW38.htm

  Here is something that another lady pointed out to me about the NWT and scriptures.

  A perfect example if the WTS moving a jot or a tittle is in :

  Luke 23:43 Jesus said to the thief on the cross "Verily I say unto thee,(comma) Today shalt thou be with me in paradise."
  
  Now compare this with the NWT -------->"Truly I tell you today,(comma) You will be with me in Paradise."
  
  You can see clearly that the comma was placed in this place to take away from the heavenly hope to anyone who believes in Jesus. No other translation has a comma in this spot. Why? Because this is how the WTS wants the JW's to believe.
  
  There are many more distortions in their NWT. And no true scholar's of the Greek or Hebrew recognizes the NWT as a true translation.

  the thought of getting married at the kh was very depressing.

  i always thought what a bore it would be, i mean afterall its a very special day in your life why do it at such a boring place?

  i always thought about going to an exotic location for mine.. what about you?

  Bill Bowen: a 'burial' ONLY for those who can read

  by Focus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the fleabites received for my speaking the absolute truth, almost entirely free from speculation, in:.

  the thread found by clicking here would be hilarious if the matter at hand was not so serious.

  i guess the biters generally display the poor reading and reasoning powers, and the huge desire to hero-worship ("my jehovah can beat up your jesus") that got so many embroiled in the cult of lies in the first place.... .

  I don't side with ither one of them.I still have to catch up on some of my reading about them....or do I want to?

  I think I'd be a bit abrasive with the GB and the "laws" they have.If I was DF for trying to protect the abused ones and the elders lied about me to a whole congregation.I'd be out to let them all know,they were lied to.I usally don't care what people think about me,but something like that should be let go at all.

  The man has to have went threw some of the things we have and still probley is.I don't worship him,ither of them,just respect both.

  If I were to meet the man,I would give him a hug and tell him what a good thing he is doing and keep it up.I think he needs to be "lifted up".It has to be hard on the nerves and he will tick people off and say harsh things.We all do...life of humans beings

  I am totally sickened by ALL this crap and if I had the chance I'd say a mouthful to the GB.Also you know they won't listen,can you imagine what it must be like to talk and express yourself and be totally enored?The persons at the WTS just run and hide. So it seems from what I have read.Cowards

  Thanks for your reply.

  I feel the same as you do,in many areas. I do have some problems with the ones of authority.The want to shepard their flock in a loving way.All I see is kick the ones out who may tarnish the flock and keep the "image clean."I feel they are more worried about the image,than the flock.

  Hmmm chocolate sounds good
