  The GENERATION explanation is now a BOLD FACE LIE

  by scotoma in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i first heard about the new "generation" explanation i was confused because i didn't see clearly how they were explaining it.. now it looks like they finally figured it out for themselves and it is no longer confusing.. it is now a simple, ignorant, bold face lie.. this is from the january 1st watchtower.

  (and i hope to hell someone from writing gets wind of this).

  paragraph 15 page 31 blue stands for the exact words in the watchtower.

  looks like they're trying to transition from john 17:3 old new world translation to new new world revised gray sword bibles john 17:3 from:.

  "their taking in knowledge of you" to "knowing you".. looks like it will be a new feature column, here it is in january 1st 2014 wt:.

  bible questions answeredwhat do you know about god?

  This semantic change is not going to work for them. All my JW days we took householders straight to John 17:3 to impress upon them the need to "take in accurate knowledge of God" and I have a study publication specially for the purpose of taking in knowledge.

  I was one of many ticked off when I found out the meaning of John 17:3 is knowing God, not constantly studying.

  Jan 2014 WT study - more vomit

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  articles such at "100 years of kingdom rule" in which jehovah has 'in a sense' begun ruling as king, and jesus in a sense was made king.

  even though the kingdom hasn't actually come.

  it's not clear if the 1,000 year reign has began or not, if so only 900 years left of jesus rule?

  OK - I've had it - My letter to the KH

  the whole time i lived in colorado, i had the dubs come by once and leave a tract.

  but since moving to california, they are at my door so often i asked them to put me on the "do not call" list.

  this did not stop them, in fact i have asked four times, plus once i called the kingdom hall and left a message, they still come, the last time this past saturday.

  Beginning of Electronic Assemblies?

  by Fading Begins in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  do 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.

  Please correct me if my thinking if off.

  Assemblies are prime money making events for the WTBTS, therefore they will never replace them with electroinc events. They view the flock as tight fisted and needing to give more than they do. The WTBTS has no interest in saving the flock's money.

  How to break up a "friendship" with a JW who is (still!) trying to convert me

  by Sofi in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, so i never had the courage to tell this people i was df'd a long time ago... just kept "studying" here and there because i felt lonely and they were so persistent.

  last time i saw this woman, we had a heated argument (was more like a monologue) where i told them why i think the wts is wrong on the blood subject.

  she is still sending me texts about when is she going to see me again to "study" (bringing in the "closer": a regular pioneer we both know).

  How about...I like you. I like talking to you.But I don't want to study. I don't believe most of it anyway. Let's just go out sometime for a drink and chips?

  That would be perfectly nice and friendly. Maybe she will say ok and take you up on it. Probably she won't. Then you will know, but it will be on her. You have every right to say that you don't want to study and that you don't believe it.

  I want to joke and say that this comes directly from Jehovah, since we are all used to that sort of thing. But, my apologies, I should have qualified my post as pure conjecture aka speculation. However, it is all based on information stirred around over the past few weeks.

  1 Thess 5:3? This is so exciting. Umm, the verse says "Whenever." Whenever is whenever. They'll nail whenever down with a roofing tack.
