  Accuracy of the Revised NWT

  by dabster in

  i was speaking with a jw yesterday.

  i'd previously mentioned the removal of the brackets around 'other' in colossians 1 making the mistranslation complete.

  during our chat he said that the previous edition of the nwt was the more correct one, that the revised version was simply more readable and that it shouldn't be considered the best translation.

  JWs and the idea of a cult

  as i've been chatting with a jw neighbour he has said, "heck, some people think we are a cult!

  " and scoffs at very idea.

  how ludicrous (he thinks)!

  JWs and my church affiliation

  this topic would come under "practices", i suppose.

  it seems like a practice to me.

  it is something the jws i have met - almost all without exception - have wanted to know.

  The 144,000

  by dabster in

  i was reading in revelation 7 yesterday, where the 12 tribes of the sons of israel are named and where we learn that 12,000 from each tribe are sealed.

  how do the jws explain that the 144,000 are identified as israel - and identified so specifically that the 12 tribes are named?

  be gentle with me when answering.
