Been chained to the Bible too long now. I'm singing the "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers now.

Ya gotta love the way all religions 'cherry pick' the "ancient documents" that support their particular dogma and discredit all others as unreliable.

Elders/Ex-Elders: Question about Blood
by JWdaughter inafter many years of objecting to the wt teachings on many levels, blood being one of them, i recently started to wonder (ok, i am slow!
) : what exactly does the wt think that the early non jewish christians were abstaining from in the blood abstention bit.
while i understand the context of the request that the apostle sent to the brothers, i do not understand what jws think they were abstaining from.. meat slaughtered improperly?.

Any blood left in meat bought at a regular supermarket or butcher shop is only the blood "fractions" that are now permitted by the WTBTS; don't ya know!
Just saying!

Yet another problem with GB = FDS
by leaving_quietly ini was pondering this teaching yesterday.
the claim is that jesus and jehovah came and inspected all the religions and in 1919, chose rutherford as the fds.
today, the claim is that the governing body is the fds.
-

Jehovah and Jesus evidently had "overlapping" opinions of just who the FDS should be so apparently they decided to allow succession among the GB/FDS you know kinda how big J allowed polygamy among the Israelites, knowing that "soon" all this would become brighter and brighter.

Reading Captives of a Concept: Interesting what i read in CH3
by DS211 insurely jesus would have noticed what they had been teaching about his second coming, or invisible presence as they prefer to call it.
matthew 24:3 37 .
today they teach that he returned to begin his second coming in 1914. but the proclaimers book explains that this was not what they were teaching before, during and for many years after jesus' inspection in 1918-1919. on pages 46 and 47 it explains that in 1876... .

The teaching of Christ's return naturally seperates (fractionalizes) itself into 4 basic concepts over time. While a JW cannot accept the WHOLE teaching (for fear of being DF'ed) they can accept FRACTIONS of this teachings (if their conscience allows.)

Holy Spirit in new NWT
by hamsterbait inin johns gospel jesus refers to the "helper" "the spirit of truth" saying "when he arrives he will etc".
the wt justified their use of he in this instance, because in greek the word is masculine gender.. (aside from the ludricrousness of this argument - english does have neuter pronouns).
have they changed he to it inthese passages?.

Holy Spirit has to be male, otherwise the WTBTS would have to give real recognition to women!

Another revised Bible change
by L3G inas 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".

Talk about depressed
by zeb inmy 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,
