Funny sparrowdown, I have a friend that’s recently became a Christian and he went to Africa as a missionary. He was talking about witnessing to ones and how they were converting to Christ right then and there. He later admitted the ones converting so easily were drunk.

Lol a exjw talked about being one of the first pioneers to help roll out this new cart witnessing. He said later they were talking about all the success at some meeting they had. It came out that they had gotten 8 new members because of this new program. 8 nationwide that is.

References to YHWH in ancient documents
by Doug Mason inpage 15 of awake!
2017 provides an image that shows hebrew writing with the statement: “the personal name of god written in ancient hebrew characters appears abundantly in early manuscripts of the bible”.. alongside that image, the awake!
provides a listing to show “the rendering of ‘god’s name’ in various languages”.. the facts do not support either assertion that the watchtower society makes:.

Nehemiah’s Gordon is full of shit! Finding gods holy name in over 1000 manuscripts with vowels what bullshit. They had to add vowel points to the Hebrew writtings century’s after the original writings were written. So I guess he could be right if you want to say theres manuscripts written after the 10 century AD with gods name in them with vowels.

"Wondrous expansion is now taking place!"
by stuckinarut2 inso we have all heard the worldwide reports about khalls being sold off and congregations being amalgamated etc.... of course, jws are being told that these actions are a sign of "just how much the work is progressing, and how jehovah is blessing the increase and expansion!".
i can share the following from my part of the world too!.
in perth, western australia the following has occurred.. three "new" congregations have been formed!

Nice the wonderful expansion really means that everything around the JW world is expanding as their world is getting smaller.

Why were the Israelites so deplorable?
by eyeuse2badub inwhat made the israelites so deplorable?.
i started thinking about how the bible describes ‘god’s people’, the israelites.
most of the time god was very pissed off at them.

I think these stories were written by someone other then the Jews or Hebrews. Maybe the simaritians or Greeks or some other group that didn’t like the Jews and their gods. I have read that the Greeks were known for writing a history of their family group to try and make themselves seem greater or more special as a family then they really were.
It seems to me that someone that had access to several writings took aspects of these writings whether from Egypt or Mesopotamia or Greece and took parts of these stories to make a new Israelite story. One could ask why did one of the Greek kings Philadelphious take 72 scholars in Alexandria and have them write the Greek Septuagint bible if that’s really what happened? why would a Greek care about Jewish writings and religious ideas if they were in fact their ideas.
The whole thing is very suspect and some say the story was all made up. I think the whole story of the Israelites/Jews in the Bible was made up taking real events and mashing them up with mythology and some real events to make it appear as if it was real. Maybe Philadelphious was trying to make up a new race of people for himself neither Greek or Egyptian.
Anyway all we know for certain is there’s writtings in the Bible that were taken from other places as well as stories. Amenope’s wisdom sayings in the book of proverbs and the story of the flood as copied from Mesopotamia, just two examples.
The Israelite stories we pretty much know are not really but just made up propaganda are that of the exodus , David and Solomon, Hezzekias Kingdom being saved by an angel, all the stories about the patriarchs in Genesis etc.
