  I'm curious, when you were asked to do a demo for a Service Meeting part, how did the request make you feel?

  did you decline out of fear?

  decline because you hated doing demos?

  accept the request graciously?

  I usually accepted but felt very self conscious and nervous and did not enjoy it. I was really annoyed when I got asked the day of or at the meeting. I usually always accepted but was anxious and bothered.

  Another problem for JW apologists

  by Jeffro in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the 2013 edition of the new world translation renders 2 kings 17:1 as:.

  in the 12th year of king ahaz of judah, hoshea the son of elah became king over israel in samaria; he ruled for nine years.. this is in fact a better rendering than the previous nwt, which stated:.

  in the twelfth year of ahaz the king of judah, hoshea the son of elah became king in samaria over israel for nine years.. despite their improved rendering, the watch tower society still claims that hoshea's reign 'really' began in 758 bce, but that it was 'established' in the 12th year of ahaz.

  2. bible

  i haven't seen the 2014 yearbook on the jw site yet.

  i'm looking to see if the number of partakers has increased again (as it has for many years now).

  anyone have a scan of it yet?.

  Correct me if wrong, but they changed it up a few years ago. Now it's not replacements that are new partakers but supposedly the anointing didn't stop in 1935. So according to new light these partakers are first batch "OG" anointed.

  How could a life that hasn't breathed or experienced anything be equal to a woman who has lived 35 years?

  Is asking questions of logic about a Global Flood effective in waking loved ones?

  by BU2B in

  i was thinking about using a tactic of asking questions revolving around "noahs flood" to try to start my wife doing some serious thinking.

  unlike doctrine that cannot often be proven one way or another, this issue can be proven beyond the slightest doubt that it is impossible.. i was thinking about asking a question something like this "i was reading about coral reefs today, and they sure are amazing!

  what amazed me the most is how long it takes for them to build the reef, and how long they live!

  Some women are perfectly used to making "gut decisions" or "trusting their gut", which if you think about it may be the emotional basis for a decision.

  So the quickest way to her may be the moral side. I phased my wife with the account of David and Bathsheeba. Here a general does the kings bidding which is murder, and he skates away. In fact in other scriptures we see this general murdered with his own hands someone else. Then, David himself escapes death. But, the innocent child who didn't hurt anyone, a helpless precious baby is "struck by Jehovah" and falls ill. Suffering for a full week before dying. See how she feels emotionally about that. Ask her since Jah struck the baby does that mean he doesn't get a resurrection?
