"in the past 12 months, #watchtower has obtained more than 36 unique subpoenas to identify the people who have posted their documents, leaked videos, & images from their publications.
this #watchhunt is a coordinated effort to locate & punish the leak sources.".
Can you imagine Jesus copywriting what he has said ? or any of the authors of the Bible books copywriting what they have spoken about ?
Or giving out subpoenas to those who distributed their words to the general public ?
How about Jehovah copywriting the word of GOD ?
He could have a field day giving out subpoenas to all of those that publish his works surely .
I think their would be just like many of us I`m sure turned down being an Elder in a congregation it was just not something we wanted to be.
I was happy and content just being a MS without the added pressure / responsibility of being an Elder .
However you would never know about it , because that is not something they would advertise someone knocking back a GB nomination .
the is on page 4 of the 2014 yearbook.. a letter from the governing body.
how delighted we are to write you at the beginning of this momentous year!
by late 2014, a whole century will have passed since our beloved king jesus christ began ruling in the midst of his enemies.—ps.
A whole century has passed since JC has ruled in the midst of his enemies ?
None of his enemies have seemed to notice that .? I wonder why .
This is now 2019 and his enemies are still unware of it .So JC ruling as King hasn`t made any impact at all on his enemies even after 100 years ?
I think Jehovah needs to appoint someone else JC seems to be incompetent.
Jehovah used his own spirit-begotten sons to provide the original New World Translation.
So the GB are claiming to be "spirit -begotten sons" that provided the original NWT.
So why the need to revise the original ? if Gods spirit directed the 1953 original ?
Did he make mistakes ? that needed to be clarified ?
Check out the Kingdom Interlinear translation of the Greek into English by the WTB&TS
Nowhere in the word for word translation of the Greek into English does the Hebrew Tetragrammaton appear or its Greek equivalent four letters.
The spirit begotten sons of the GB have added to the word of God by inserting the name of Jehovah in the Christian Greek scriptures where it did not appear in the original text that they based their translation on.
Rev.22 : 18 ,19
there are thousands of people there for sure.
i too was living that life for many years myself.. going through all the motions knowing things were just not right.
yet so afraid of the consequences of leaving the only world i knew.
My heart goes out to those PIMO for whatever reason you remain so ,however sooner or later it just becomes too much to bear and you can`t keep that up any longer ,then you become a POMO and then the anxiety ,stress ,ill health ,leaves your body and a wave of relief sets in that you haven`t felt in many years .
i have to say that i found item 3 on the above page raised questions in my mind.
if an elder is deleted presumably for wrongdoing the hard copy text book is taken off him and destroyed.
but who ensures that any electronic copies of the book in his possession are deleted?
And what if the Elder refuses to hand over his copy for whatever reason ? maybe because he has seen TTATT ?
What are they going to do about it ?
in my city philadelphia they closed many kingdom halls.
my hall was desolved and most of the publishers were added to a congregation that only had 50 publishers.
.
This closing of KH`s in one place after another that`s going on all around the world sounds like very GOOD NEWS to me .
some time ago i created a study that i named: "the devil who tested jesus".. i have rewritten it into a form that might possibly make it attractive for a publication (please do not read wts into that).
i have thus reformatted it and reduced the word count by two-thirds.. i am looking to your collective skills and knowledge for any criticism, including: spelling; grammar; structure; argument; whatever.. https://jwstudies.com/who_the_devil_tested_jesus.pdf.
doug.
I haven`t yet read " Who the devil tempted Jesus " but I do look forward to reading it.
I always appreciate your contributions to this forum Doug giving it a Jewish perspective ,after all the Bible IS really a set of Jewish books isnt it and not a Christian set of books.
Take care.
anyone remember 1992?
i can remember i was in the cult.
times were changing at a rapid pace.
It was round about 1993 when I decided I had had enough ,they are no more inspired than the Mormons or the SDA`s or anybody else.
And that`s the year I agreed that the JW`s did in fact get one thing and only one thing right and that was :
"Religion is a snare and a racket"
Another quote i agree with is :
"Religion is the Opium of the people " from a commie.
many witnesses in my opinion know nothing about the religion.
they don’t understand the history, the doctrines or the bible.
many people become jws because they were raised as witnesses so they take the plunge.
Am I the only idiot here that converted when I was about 20 years old ? True at that time I was in a vulnerable state and a co-worker shared some scriptures with me and gave me some literature .
I had always been curious about the Bible and its message brought up believing it was the word of GOD.
But not actually being born into a religious family.
And as the saying goes curiosity killed the cat
It took me 33 years to see the light and wake up.
am a newcomer.
had a starnge metting in local news last night.. check it out.
actual info starts at 50;12. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plxdjs13l0k.
