with self-righteous indignation, the watchtower society (wts) points to its restoration of the hebrew tetragram (hwhy = “yahweh” = = = > “jehovah”) wherever the english translator renders it as “lord”..
the wts complains that the use of “lord” hides the fact that the name (“jehovah” for the wts) is intended.
however, with its call of “look over here, look over here”, the wts diverts attention, probably unintentionally, from related information that it, in turn, does not reveal..

this is my first post, i will introduce myself later.
first of all, i must say that english is not my mother tongue (i'm spanish), so excuse me if i make any mistake.. do you think that some people simply can't cope with being outside the jws?
some of them are too worldlyphobic to be around non-jws, too dependent on a fixed set of rules in order to carry on with their lives, too dependent on the hope of paradise and resurrection, too unable to leave their personal comfort zone within the organization.
Yes
and some people are better off in prison or a mental health facility or in North Korea.

todays watchtower study is all about singing complete with instructions on how to sing.,............
"but we all have the responsibility to sing praises to jehovah.
so hold your songbook up high, lift your head, and sing with enthusiasm!".
If most of the songs didn't sound like funeral dirges, maybe jw's would sing better!

it's a fear-based religion, at its core.
jws fear many things, but what or who do they fear the most?
let's find out.... 5) satan.
I think that most fear,as I once did, the realization that all the 'sacred knowledge' that they believed for decades is actually bullsh*t. That is a very frightening prospect.

a load of j.w's in my family and the congregation i attend as a pimo have been saying the end is very close because the anglo american world superpower is clearly still the king of the south, and russia is now clearly king of the north due to persecuting and banning the religion there and seizing property.. i've forgot what the religion used to teach and maybe still does, about the timing of all this king of north + south stuff, the attack on all religion by the u.n and then the attack on j.w's who will be left standing.
i mean, i thought jehovah was going to put it into the u.n's minds to ban or attack all other religions, then the attack on j.w's, but witnesses seem to think the end is so, so close because russia has banned them.. it's sad, as some dubs i know have sold their homes and made other big decisions so they can pioneer in these 'very last of the last days'..
Consider the source, Daniel is the same bible book that tells the whopper of a story of 4 boys thrown into a furnace and come out later unscathed, caged lions that refuses to eat Daniel but eat other men, hand writing on the wall, and a mighty king that eats grass and crawls around in the countryside like a wildebeest for 7 years.

(the following article is translated using google translate).
the building selected in "jehovah's witnesses" in st. petersburg will be given to scientistsdecember 26, 2017 publication time: 09:42. in a building selected from a banned organization in russia, "jehovah's witnesses", will soon be able to read scientific lectures.
For decades the borg called the USSR the 'king of the north' and preached about how it will be destroyed and every vestige of it will be forgotten, so when it don't happen--well you're gonna have to pay the price! Or as they say in Russia "tuffshitski".

jehober told the israelites at zechariah 4:6 .
“this is the word of jehovah to ze·rub′ba·bel: ‘“not by a military force, nor by power, but by my spirit,” says jehovah of armies".
why in the hell did he have them form a 603,550 man army according to numbers 1st chapter vs 46;.
So I continued to kindly ask my wife on the way home from the meeting;
if jehober destroyed the entire Egyptian army at the Red Sea
if jehober sent one angel to slaughter 185,00 Assyrian soldiers in one night
if jehober sent "horses and war chariots of fire all around Elisha" (an angelic army???) and then blinds the eyes of an entire Syrian army so that Elisha-----alone can take them captive
why did the Israelites need 605,550 soldiers? sometin' ain't right
I suppose the big army was just in case jehober got pissed off at the Israelites and decided not to help them!

why in the hell did he have them form a 603,550 man army according to numbers 1st chapter vs 46;
"All the Israelites from 20 years old and up who could serve in the army in Israel were registered by their paternal house, 46 and the total number registered was 603,550."
This subject came up in a casual discussion with my wife on the way home from meeting Sunday. Also I mentioned that if jehober is such a wonderful record keeper and details mean so much to him, doesn't it seem strange that the numbers are all rounded off to the nearest 10. No odd numbers at all?
