from 1950 to 2013, the watchtower and bible tract society has been releasing its new world translation of the scriptures.. my study considers the christian greek scriptures (new testament).. http://www.jwstudies.com/why_does_wts_accept_christendoms_scriptures.pdf.
i have also provided the pictures that i created for the study.. http://www.jwstudies.com/pix_for_study_wts_accepts_scriptures.pdf.
please accept the fact that i have no idea whether colours clash or if they match.

i checked the program, i bet many can guess what many of the talks will be, but here are a few titles........ .
"symposium: reject strange teachings" - aka reject truth being exposed about the society and their teachings.
"you must hate your enemy" - aka you must hate the gb's enemy of family and friends who have awaken to their lies and left.
At least the WTBTS is good at recycling!

as we continue to use the revised nwt, we will no doubt find more and more changes worth noting.
several others have posted how some of freddie franz's idiosyncrasies have been removed (like 'anyone urinating against a wall' and the ever-present 'proceeded to go' instead of just 'went').
here's another: gone are the places in the proverbs where the hebrew literally says 'the innermost parts of the belly' for conveying the supposed delight of juicy morsels of gossip.
The WT teachings, unlike M & M's, "melt in your mind, not in your hand".

my wife is preparing to spend hundreds on a lap top to take into the field service.
i carefully mentioned that the wts has gone from condemning the web to now using it.. her reply" no they never condemned it just said to people to be careful in using it".
my memories of convention speakers must be different and" this is the way things are now; its all downloaded from the web".. with that as a given then why isnt the wts issuing computers to any one who wants one?
"Brothers, the internet as a whole is forbidden by Jehovah, however, if your conscience allows, you may now accept fractions of the internet."
Your loving brothers,
THE Governing Body
just letting off a bit more steam.
why can't sisters look after the library or the sound.
what makes the brothers so damned special???.
Stop complaning! We let you clean the KH don't we? What more could you ask for?

yes thats my situation.
some where along the path of life the wt guilt trip was dumped on our marriage and we havent had sex for years.. anyone else?
the hearts and flowers and gifts and doing the cleaning, the house work and paying the daily accounts never being drunk on drugs playing the horses or screwing others yep its all there but nothing coming back due to the wt guilt trip.. they made so much of 'oral sex' and 'pornea' incorrectly quoted at that and ventured thereby into areas they were patently very ill equipped to comment on.
TRUE STORY!------I got DF'ed because I admitted that I had oral sex with my wife. Although we both enjoyed oral sex, it "violated" God's laws, don't ya know. That was in November of 1977. In the December 1977 WT, question from readers section, "nu-lite" revealed that oral sex with your spouse was now a matter of conscience. I was reinstated in February 1978. Yes Jehovah does provide "food at the proper time" thru the "spirit directed" 'faithful slave' don't ya know! I was DF'ed for 3 months for something that the "spirit directed faithful slave" got WRONG. Sad that thousands have died because the "spirit directed faithful slave" got the blood thing WRONG!

The fundament error in the reasoning is that blood is too sacred to be put to any use other than on the sacrificial altar. Island man
I too have long reasoned and even argued that if "blood is too sacred to be be put to any other use than on the sacrificial alter", then why do JW's gladly (and reasonably) 'donate blood' in order to have their blood tested in order to detect diseases or test the level of certain medications in their system. Of course the obvious reason is because JW's want to know their health condition in order to live longer and better. Is the blood that a JW 'donates' for a blood test used on the 'sacrificial alter'? But by 'donating blood' for a simple blood test, does that violate the JW blood doctrine? What happens to the blood that a JW 'donates' when it goes off to a labratory for testing?

has anyone read this?
i am going from memory because i don't have the rnwt with me.
if someone wants to post it, great.
Thank God for the Catholic Church or we wouldn't have the modern Bible! And thank God for the Catholic monk or we would not have the modern name of God. Just wondering why God would so jealously and accurately preserve his WORD and not have HIS name so jealously and accurately preserved? JW's should love dem Catholics.

...at least that's what the sunday study said:.
"at the same time, we need to understand that our salvation is not jesus' primary concern.
his main purpose from the beginning to the end of his earthly ministry was to work for the sanctification and glory of his father's name".
Why didn't Jesus say the name Jehovah in the model prayer? "Let your name, JEHOVAH, be santified......"?
