Quality of JW teaching from elders
by sir82 inthere was a recent thread on the "quality" of converts to jws in recent years.
it wasn't a pretty picture, based on the thread contents.. well, the lack of depth isn't restricted to new converts.. in our clam this week, one of the principal points for review was this:.
ne 1:1; 2:1—why can we conclude that “the 20thyear” mentioned at nehemiah 1:1 and 2:1 is countedfrom the same starting point?

When this question was raised, NO ONE had their hand up. Not one person in the congregation. There are a dozen elders and NO ONE could give the answer. Then someone decided to give it a shot and started reading from the watchtower article. He literally read a few paragraphs before realizing he didn't know what the hell he was reading and stopped cold turkey apologizing that he couldn't find the answer. It was a hoot.!!!! -

JW Expressions We Hate
by Socrateswannabe ini was browsing through stuff on jw.org recently and ran across some expressions that really grate on my nerves: loyal love, loving-care, and loving-kindness, as in: "please exercise loving-kindness toward your servant.
" who talks like that?
they must be relics of the fred franz era.

I really dislike:
"One scholar said"
"Jehovah"
"But they are worldly"
"going to the hall"
"family worship"
"Going pioneering"
"Need greaters"
"the anointed"
"stepping stone to greater activity"
"reaching out"

Enthusiasm has waned. Although for pioneers, I think its still a great way to get their time in. -

How do you feel about the expression "The Truth"?
by stuckinarut2 init's amazing how the expression "the truth" has become such an ingrained term used by witnesses.. "we have 'the truth'".
"is he 'in the truth'?".
most here have found out so many facts about the organisation, and felt the effects of being "gut-punched" as we realised these facts.. so how do you feel about the expression "the truth" now?.

Stopped using this expression a long time ago. We call it the "troof" -

Witnesses killed my friend today.
by WasOnceBlind intoday has been a horrible day.
what began as a day of joy finding out that one of my lifelong friends had her baby, turned into a nightmare when her brother called me to let me know she had passed away after birth.
i was in shock and didn't ask how.

New anti-spam measures
by Simon inwe've been bombarded by spam a number of times in the last few weeks and last night was the worst yet.
i already built some tools to make removing it easier because i think the longer it stays up, the more it encourages it, but still it's annoying to see and interferes with the operation of the site.
fortunately, we were able to catch and remove it relatively quickly.. i've now implemented and deployed some additional protection measures which i hope will better detect and block it from appearing in the first place.
