All the translators became Governing Body member and so being a F&DS was all the glory they needed for themselves and so translated anonymously so that they could vaguely appear not to be so bias as a bunch of corporate CEOs trying to make the bible say what they wanted it ti say to further corporate intrest in printing dooms day article to coral the faithful into submission.

Revealing the wt "translators" now that gb are all over the place?
by carla inback when me & my jw were still discussing anything jw related we had numerous discussions about just who the translators of the wt's bible were.
(i knew, thanks to this site and others like it) the answer was usually something to the effect that they (the wt) didn't want to give 'honor' to mere men by revealing who they were and what their education was.
now that the gb are all over the place, youtube, etc... why not reveal the 'translators' and their educational background?

"Exodus:Why Americans are leaving Religion-and Why They'er Unlikely to come back.
by James Mixon inreligion news article by lauren markoe.. some interesting points in the article.
the study follows the publication earlier this year of a book.
by study co-author and prri founder robert p. jones, titled "the end of white christian america".. the name "nones" are people who claim no affiliation with religion, they outnumber any religious denomination.. according to the poll-which has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percent-age points-the nones have.

Well if you leave because you found it to be all bull shit and manipulative why would you come back hear some more bull shit you know ain't true?
Why would you subject yourself to someone telling how his imaginary friend wants you to live your life in devotion to him? Unless you still got some residual programming fucking with you or something.

When you were fully in, would you lie about how loving your congregation was?
by TTWSYF innot long ago my elder brother got very sick.
he was hospitalized for a few weeks and his jw wife and children were at his side often.
also, his non jw family was also bedside with him, siblings and parents.. his recollection involves asking us "don't you remember all the jws that came visiting me when i was sick?".

No because I never made statements about the Org being loving.

Because it's a shitty translation and the translators are frauds without much education or knowledge of ancient languages. And the rulers of this corporation don't want you to get an higher education so I'm sure those that translated the NW bible were very uneducated and heavily biased so that naming them would only expose them to public scrutiny and shame.

God is a figment of the human imagination. Gods and Goddesses were invented by humans sometime after our brains got bigger(evolution). Probably after we invented how to make and use fire 300,000 years ago or more. With brains that have more processing power Gods seemed some what logical for a simple explanation of things beyond our ability to grasps without science(back in the day), hey we used to logically think the earth was flat but then wise men like like Galileo and Isaac Newton came into existence and since then only the hopelessly stubborn and stupid still believe the earth is flat. Today most educated people know the bibles account of earth creation is bogus thanks to science. Which means that if you do a more thorough and unbiased investigation of the bible you will find that God or Jehovah or what ever you want to call him, is just a figment of the creative human imagination.

Is this a form of sarcasm or merely a formality like our Yours Truly:
Please accept, Sir, our warmest greetings.
Signed by: Albert Curià / Ricardo Sánchez / William GraupnerThey seem to be setting themselves up for major lawsuits by putting all that in writing. My DFn'g elder would put nothing in writing when I asked them what the charges were and they said "speaking against the organization" I said please put it in writing and sign it which they several time refused. These guys are asking for by this move.

What is the purpose of life?
by slimboyfat inwhile reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.
because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".
i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.

Well if theories about us being in a computer simulation hologram are true then perhaps the purpose of life is to gather more information and down load it onto a chip.
It could be just like the Buddha said to stop being reborn once one masters desire and stay in the diamond light and don't keep coming back ending all suffering permanently by ending desire.

What's Is The Goal Of This Religion?
by pale.emperor inwhat's is the goal of this religion?.
i mean, if it's for money they could do a lot more like other religions do: tithing, paying for prayers from the gb, selling "miracles", selling "blessed" items, selling courses.. if its for power then what are they hoping to do with that power?
they dont seem to do anything.

20 x 364 hours to write the dam thing. I take it he was never a bright student in school and perhaps kind of slow in comprehension. Jenny must be Tuvaluan wife?
It would be interesting to see what any literary critics that understand the languages would say about the dictionary written by someone that thinks he's runs the organization of a bronze age Deity that is going to destroy the world.
