Yeah I was thinking about that yesterday. Loose conduct is stuff of a sexual nature. Brazen conduct is like, almost anything. So they literally changed the meaning of a scripture to mean something completely different.

Beginning of Electronic Assemblies?
by Fading Begins indo you think this could have been an experiment to see how smoothly these events can be processed, and what the reaction is from the rank and file?
it would sure save a lot of money if events like this could replace at least the one day circuit assemblies.
there has to be some recognition that the "flock" is becoming weary and they don't have the funds to be travelling to these events.

kiddingme: you can already email people digital copies of literature and count it as a placement.
as for electronic assemblies, it's a definitely possiblity. i think they might use this hardware for more 'special meetings.' It seems like a waste to install all this stuff and only use it two days a year.

Newly released New World Translation still full of numerous errors and abuses
by yadda yadda 2 inthought i'd start a thread discussing all the scriptures where the watchtower translation committee has taken liberties and abused verses they've translated in the nwt.. worst of all are the numerous places in the christian greek scriptures where 'jehovah' has been inserted where the tetragrammaton or any equivalent of it does not occur in any extant mss and where the context could just as easily mean, or even more likely mean, the identity being spoken of is jesus christ rather than the father.
although in many places out of the 237 in the nt where they have done this the identity is clearly or most probably the father (jehovah) as distinct from the son (jesus), there are dozens of occurrences where this is not the case.. here are a whole lot more scriptures abused by the translators of the nwt, copied from the freeminds website (article written j bowman, scholar):.
adding words.

I'm not surprised at all by that. It's pretty hilarious that we have to use the dumbed down version for everything. Are they preparing a Reference Bible version of this? I ask because I was always 'taught' to use the reference bible for everything as much as possible. This obviously would be a bad idea now since it's all different now.

AGM is not streamed live, but a download.
by SyntaxError1974 inthere have been several posts where individuals are asking if it is possible to hack into and watch the agm as it is streamed to the conventions.
i say it is not streamed live like many are assuming, but a recorded download played for the audience.. why?
a live stream has many possible points of failure.

interestingly, the idea of 'curing' homosexuality with gay sex is nothing new. it's not right, but it's not like this guy had some brilliant revelation.
