Relentlessly pursuing a girl with a camcorder is a big red flag in the real world.
I wonder if the footage still exists, or are the tapes worn out from endless freeze-framing and replaying during 'alone time' sessions.
Now I see just how much superhuman restraint such a one would show in refusing to record his judicial committee, eh.
new translation record as 13 bibles are released in one weekend:.
https://www.jw.org/en/news/jw/region/global/new-translation-record-as-13-bibles-are-released-in-one-weekend/.
merely translated the American-English version of the NWT into these 13 languages.
This inspired me to look at one of the existing versions of the NWT, I picked the Zulu language as one not too obscure.
Just running it through Google Translate, I was not expecting to see this at John 1:1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
I checked Tagalog and Welsh, and they do seem to have the doctrinal '...a god'.
A glitch in Google Translate, or a glitch in the Zulu translation committee?
By the way, the Welsh translation hub, or whatever they call it, is an impressive property.
the reason for my question is because one pimo has noticed that there are some pimis--particularly spimis--who have remarked that they "are not going to contact nor associate with the friends who are delinquent on zoom and/or at in-person kh meetings, conventions, and assemblies".
i've noticed this as well: a few ppimis and pimqs who were very close to me and my exdub family members are hearing from them less and less lately than before last year's rc and this year's rc.
so, is the above a thing nowadays?
Is it just me, or is it acronym central in here! I daren't ask for a list; it might look too much like the '100 genders' list.
this week's installment in the science quotes of "celebrated jw scholars" concerns one of their perennial claims.
based on a literal reading of genesis 1:30, jehovah's witnesses believe and teach that all animals were orginally designed to be vegetarians and that the restoration prophecies of isaiah foretell a return to this state.
this has been stated many times in jw literature:.. .
The 2022 convention makes it worthwhile to revisit this excellent thread, what with exhorting members to 'just imagine' many aspects of the paradise to come.
We surely need the writing dept to come up with some speculation, of the 'evidently' and 'likely' variety, of just how the carnivores will be reverted to their presumed previous forms, and whether, in the new system, a tiger might look like a striped cow or something. It only sounds ridiculous to those who are not rightly disposed!
The beginning of this article unnacountably made me think of the final scene in Stanley Kubrick's 'The Shining'.
I think it's very true that the rank and file will just let the details (difficult to rationalise as they are) wash over them, and just be reminded that (1) they're all slaves (2) it's the real life last days.
Nobody will be thinking 'Oh come on, King of the North! Make your mind up which superpower you want to be, you're holding up the Lord's day, and tell Gog he better settle on an identity too!'

I'm just watching LE's latest video (151st Gilead review) and my goodness, for some reason his delivery is very noticeably different from his norm. Looks like a touch of the 'Tony's', not to be judgmental or anything.
as a jw would you have allowed your pet to have a blood transfusion to save it's life?
.
what is the society's stand on this today?.
if you permit your dog to be given a blood transfusion--it will probably be disfellowshipped
No, it will look at you with those big sad eyes and you can judge it to be repentant.
i'm so happy about this.this will have major implications for states such as california and their laws not only new york.let freedom ring!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nv70otfd8ck.
Great news! Maybe now all schools can finally arm their students and put a stop to school shootings.
for argument sake let’s assume that this verse should apply to 1914. what are your thoughts on generation?.
There is an argument that the Greek translated as 'this generation' should not, in context, be understood in its modern sense of 'contemporaries alive now' but rather as 'this race, this people' or something similar; what the KJV translators would have had in mind.
I tend to agree with this. So I propose the following as a way of keeping the verse relevant to 1914:
'Our revised understanding is that 'this generation' means the new 'Spiritual Israel' which began to arise (or 'be generated') after CT Russell began to restore True Worship around the turn of the 20th Century. This group of Anointed Christians are the ones who 'shall endure till the end' (Mt 24:13)'
the court of appeal of belgium acquits the watchtower for its shunning policy, ex-jw patrick haeck previously won.
he will see with his lawyers what to do next.

Could we see some links to further details please?
