  How much of the bible do JW's really use?

  by blindfool in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've noticed over the last several weeks how often the same scriptures are used in meetings at the kingdom hall.. anytime galatians is mentioned you can just about be sure you are going to look up chapter 5 ver.

  19.. 2 timothy is going to be 3: 16. i can't remember considering any addional text to get the context of the verse, just reading the same verses over and over.

  i'm sure most of you can name lots more scriptures used by jw's.. i think i'm going to start taking notes at meetings and listing which verses are used, then i can look from week to week and see how often the same old verses are considered.

  it is under the guise of making them feel wanted but it is more likely a passive-aggressive means to show women what their place is and to stay there.. .

  fear of god impelled two women to defy a pharaoh.

  2. bible

  we all know that we do not know the correct pronunciation of the name of god.

  over 6000 times, the tetragrammaton is mentioned in the ot.

  yet for some reason, most bibles do not use the name jehovah or yahweh but a few times.

  i'm currently taking book study and still am not sure about completely pursuing the religion, but am openly analyzing what i am learning.

  i am currently dating a jw... my question is how is it looked upon when a jw dates a "study" ?

  is it allowed by the elders or will he be shunned?

  my mother attended the funeral of an elderly jw recently.

  the person that passed away was in her 90's had been a jw since the 1930's and her late husband was one of the "annointed" although she didn't claim that for herself.

  every few months i hear of old jws passing away.

  Why Catholics?

  by playdrums in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just a question about the vitriol aimed at the catholic church from the wtbs- .

  i understand (but disagree) with the "doctrinal" aspect of the attacks leveled at the catholic church by the wtbs - it's the great harlot, etc.

  i'm more interested in getting to the bottom of the real reason they target catholics so strongly.
