just got a recent sunday public talk in the mail from a month or so back...has to be heard to be believed.
i'm in the process of writing out the full talk.. 2 (will be more) things stuck out in the talk.. the speaker absolutely bashed everyone there for having apostate thoughts and for questioning jehovahs organsation.
he made it feel like everyone there was doing those things.

A subject often marked by strong controversy is calmly and carefully analyzed. Rather than the common "proof-texting" frequently characterizing such discussion, the author aids the reader to keep the full Biblical picture in steady focus.
Presents a comprehensive overview of the relationship and respective dignities represented in God and his Son Jesus Christ. The Hebrew view of monotheism is presented as the context in which Jesusà life and ministry must be evaluated and understood. The author argues that the question that needed to be answered in the first century way not, "Is Jesus God?" but, "Is Jesus the Messiah?" While acknowledging the Son's deity, it is presented as lesser in glory than the Father's deity. The booklet also covers the development of the Trinity doctrine in the centuries following the establishment of the Christian congregation.
Anyone got this book? Is this book worth getting?

since on many occasions, the watchtower and awake bound volumes have been altered from what was originally printed, and newer editions of hard covered books have also been altered compared to the originals, who's to say that the cds haven't also been tampered with?.
is there any proof of that?
there seems to be a belief on here that the wt has made wholesale changes to their bound volumes, books and cdrom's.
Just moving this to the top.

i used to have a copy of the kit.
as i remember, the back of the book is filled with a good number of rather shaky justifications for the oddball nt translations seen only in the nwt.
(stake vs. cross, no immortal soul, no eternal punishment, no bodily resurrection of christ, the tetragrammon in the nt, an impersonal holy spirit, and, of course, jesus as a second and lesser god.).

Are WT doctrines THAT wacky? A few (actually A LOT) on here regard the 607BC, Blood and shunning as a bit dodgy but some of the above in the quote can be proven using either the bible or a good Greek-English lexicon.

anyone here got any stories about apostates going on the rampage at any meetings, assemblies, conventions.. i haven't seen any but a young witness told me that his previous cong.
called the police to a meeting cos a df person went apesh*t once.. also, all aussie jw's should know about the riot at a glenelg convention in adelaide in the 1940's where apostates rushed to the sound equipment and some jw stood in there way and kinghit one of them.

i was just wondering what do the members of this board think the biggest deception in the teaching of the watchtower society is?.
one of the biggest deceptions for me, one that stuck like a thorn in my side was their deception on earthquakes, hence my previous thread on the last days.
the wts, as i recall, published supposed proof of the increase in earthquakes since 1914. i was so angry when i found out that this was an outright lie.
Their other deception is in their steadfast refusal to acknowledge that 607 is the wrong date for the destruction of Jerusalem. Jerusalem was destroyed when it was destroyed, you cannot change a date just to please yourself, it is like saying World War 2 started in 1919.
Bingo! That killed my faith in the WTBTS but not in the Bible. Just read Gentile Times Reconsidered.
