in wt study edition december 2015, article called jehovah, the god of communication, par.
as a result, the new world translation is now available in whole or in part in over 130 languages.
to many jw's this will sound impressive.
I have a friend who is Russian, she is also a linguistics graduate.. I showed her a copy of the New World Translation in Russian.. she took it to her university professors and they said the translation was appalling and very poorly done. Practically unreadable.
Governing Body.. delivering garbage at the proper time.
hello all, i would like to first say that i am basically questioning my faith in god.
i am not negative towards the wt at all.
so honestly i am to concerned with more ad hominem attacks towards the wt because i still love the organization and the people in it.
But I haven't read a single thing that makes me believe that there is a single malevolent motive. And even if there was, what would that change, especially for me personally? I can tell you one thing, I still wouldn't spend another minute wasting my time on any internet thread or forum. Because quite frankly, even if the GB are a bunch of narcissistic wannabe powerful guys, imho, the worse thing they have done is wake up people on saturday mornings.
Oh really? You say you're trying to gain clarity but your comments show you to be closed minded and willfully ignorant. My sympathy just evaporated.

Maybe he ate it?
genesis 30:37 leaving aside the whole "joseph cheats laham out of his flock" issue.
one passage of scripture that i've missed until now is 30:37 where it says how joseph got all the sheep to be stripey etc ( btw have you ever seen a stripey sheep?
cos i certainly haven't!).
Easily done.. striped bars have the same effect.

olga calderon, 50, who lives a few homes down, said copeland leaves at dawn to drive buses in the city and he spends his days off at home with his wife.
the royal commission published it's redress report today.
it is a 668 page document, but it is very interesting.
all the recommendations they make are in harmony with what all other institutions will accept.
If you include the list of 23,000 or so recorded peodophile incedents world wide that add up to $1,625,000,000 minimum.
Game over Watchtower...
.. please do me a small favour?.
can you look at this list of my posts and tell me if nearly all of them are cut off on the right?.
i have been posting always using the uc browser, then decided to try chrome on an android phone and found that most of my posts are unreadable!!.
I'm using Chrome on an Ipad Air 2 and all your posts look fine both vertical and horizontal. But then I have all the ads and banners stripped so not sure if that makes a difference.
remember brother toole's testimony to the royal commission that he was unaware of watchtower theocratic war doctrine, and that he didn't know what it means?
.
well wait until you read the letter i just posted on my blog: theocratic war strategy in action?
.. but the letter states that it's ok to lie to what they term as 'bitter enemies'. So by this definition the Australian Royal Commission's efforts to seek to protect innocent children from sexual abuse inside the ranks of the organisation at the hands of those responsible for their care qualifies them as 'bitter enemies'?
The countless "I don't recall", "I don't remember", "I don't know", "I am not aware" from the mouths of Tool, all the elders and Mr Jackson himself was full blown theocratic warfare in action.
There you have it ladies and gentlemen.. clear as day.
Filthy disgusting lying cult.
a former lebanese (christian) terrorist once told me a story (meant to be funny) about west asian politics.. a turtle was swimming past the shoreline of the red sea.
on the shore a scorpion calls out,"hey!
give me a lift over to the other side.
Funny that by The West.. you actually should be saying the USA..
i was baptised on 1st sept 1990, 25years ago today.
it is still a date with deep meaning for me.
i never dedicated my life to serving any man or any organisation, this was my choice - as a grown adult - to serve my god through jesus christ.
GodZoo:- ." makes my baptism about as significant as my first puff off a cigarette, my first exsperience with alcohol, my first frolic with a girl and my first punch up...."
So wrong !! I bet your first puff on a cigarette was fun, your first experience of alcohol fun ( if you didn't puke up ) As for your first frolic with a girl (This is something I bet you never tire of repeating) So that only leaves your first punch up, and let me put you in my shoes on that one, Well that was quite significant to me, and believe me on that one baptism wins every time.
The Rebel.
First cigarette (aged 9) I puked up.. first alcohol experience (aged 10) I puked up, first frolic with a girl (aged 7) I did not puke up.. but you're actually right.. I can remember every detail and feeling and visual regarding all these 3 events.
Baptism? Genuinely a complete blur.. there is no emotional and certainly no spiritual memory/feeling at all. As though it never happened.
