1231969 "fact": You will never grow old in this present system of things
by Ding inawake!
"if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.
because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years... therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.

Does the Watchtower have a bias against working with computers?
David Splane was always talking against "Computer Science" in his talks, and that it would be better to know plumbing.
To put it simply, the thought "meme" that The Watchtower is putting forth seems to be, "Construction work" is good, "Computer programming" is bad.

Alameda County Administrator makes $423,664 a year!

e hearst/common/author_name.tpl article_timestamp.tpl march 25, 2013. alameda county supervisors have really taken to heart the adage that government should run like a business, rewarding county administrator susan muranishi with the wall street-like wage of $423,664 a year.. for the rest of her life.. according to county pay records, in addition to her $301,000 base salary, muranishi receives:-- $24,000, plus change, in "equity pay" to guarantee that she makes at least 10 percent more than anyone else in the county.. -- about $54,000 a year in "longevity" pay for having stayed with the county for more than 30 years.. -- an annual performance bonus of $24,000.. -- and an additional $9,000 a year for serving on the county's three-member surplus property authority, an ad hoc committee of the board of supervisors that oversees the sale of excess land.. like other county executives, muranishi also gets an $8,292-a-year car allowance.. muranishi has been with the county for 38 years, and she's 63. when retirement day comes, she'll be getting a lot more than a gold watch.. that's because, according to the county auditor's office, muranishi's annual pension will be equal to the dollar total of her entire yearly package - $413,000.
she also has a separate executive private pension plan, for which the county chips in $46,500 a year.. "and she's worth every dime," said supervisor scott haggerty, who was on the board when it promoted muranishi to county administrator in 1995, voted for her and joined in approving her base pay and perks.. "we're lucky to have her," haggerty said.. he likens the job of running the county administration to being ceo of a $2.4 billion corporation, with 9,000 employees.. granted, the $2.4 billion is taxpayer money, and the county isn't set up to turn a profit.

From the article on the first page of this thread:
"She is very, very hardworking. I get e-mails from her at 3 a.m.," Miley said.
compare that with this from my previous post:
"$0 overtime pay"
Also, the youtube video showing her giving a speech was taken down.
I wonder why?

The artwork is promoting Watchtower propaganda.
Modern day activities are being projected backwards in time.
There is no concern about historical accuracy.
The whole purpose of the Watchtower is to mold how people think today.

Why does the NWT omit Mt 23:14?
by Splash inmt 23:14 does not appear in the nwt, but does appear in many other translations:.
for this you shall receive the greater judgment.
for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

Question:
How come every single Bible I have ever seen (I mean every kind, every version, every one) has a verse missing. The verse is Matthew 23:14 . It's like it doesn't exist, the Bible goes 13 then 15 but no 14. Look at any Bible and I can almost guarantee that it is not there!
Answer:
You will find the verse in the footnotes on that page in the versions that do not include it in the main text. The reason some of the modern versions remove it is discussed in the NET Bible: "The most important mss (Aleph B D L Z Θ Ë1 33 892* pc and several versional witnesses) do not have 23:14 “Woe to you experts in the law and you Pharisees, hypocrites! You devour widows’ property, and as a show you pray long prayers! Therefore you will receive a more severe punishment.” Part or all of the verse is contained (either after v. 12 or after v. 13) in W 0102 0107 Ë13 Ï and several versions, but it is almost certainly not original. The present translation follows NA27 in omitting the verse number as well, a procedure also followed by a number of other modern translations. Note also that Mark 12:40 and Luke 20:47 are very similar in wording and are not disputed textually."
Basically, some the older manuscripts that are felt to be more reliable don't have this verse. The question then is did someone long ago forgot to copy it and the omission got repeated in several manuscripts, or did someone accidently copy a note a person made from one of the parallel accounts. Since it is close to Mark 12:40 and Luke 20:47 , a number of scholars lean toward the accidental insertion theory.
Since it is debated, there are different ways it is handled. The more conservative versions: the New King James Version, the New American Standard Bible, the English Standard Version, and the Holman Christian Standard note the dispute with brackets around the text or a footnote. The more liberal versions: The New International Version, the Revised Standard Version, the New Revised Standard Version, and the New Century Version leave the verse out, but put it in their footnotes.
Whichever way is the actual truth, the point to remember is that it doesn't make much difference. As noted, it is in the parallel accounts of Mark and Luke, so no information is being lost or added.
