  i just finished reading the letter at www.annointedjw.org, in which they respond to the new bible and its commentary.

  interesting opening paragraph: .

  "while we can appreciate the decision to revise some of the language to conform to a more modern understanding, we are quite at a loss as to why you would interject so much commentary of your own into such a sacred writing.

  I really enjoy their letters to the GB. Although this may be true about the revised NWT they still put forth at meetings the two hope abomination.

  Is that bible racism? Perhaps a freudian slip harbouring coveted prejudice? I do wonder tho....they must mean the old FDS is evil and dark since theirs was black too. ridiculous.

  so last night was my weekly bible study with my wife my friend/elder and his wife.

  well like many still asleep the first thing that we talked about was what intrested us about the agm..so the elder goes into the things like how exciting it is and loves all the added crap in the appendixes and the info in the front beause its straight from gods word.

  i thought "didnt someone say you shouldnt add anything or take anything away?

  Given the new light you would think anointed meeting on this committee if not from the GB would also constitute the FDS....but im sure that was overlooked

  the translation committee werre of the "anointed"....so their minions were not. Basically Rank and file jw bethelites did the work and these "anointed" just said yes or no then the GB would either concur or say "nope gotta change that".

  Agreed. After that convo we spoke about my wifes upbringing and how strict her mother was and i said "well thats why many say we are a cult, because behavior like that looks a lot like totalitarianism (oops haha slipped out) and everyone agreed and paused a moment. Then the elder goes "well if i had the choice between super lenient and strict like your mom Id choose the latter".....i giggled and thought "good lord mate, he made my point"

  So last night was my weekly Bible study with my wife my friend/elder and his wife. Well like many still asleep the first thing that we talked about was what intrested us about the AGM..so the elder goes into the things like how exciting it is and loves all the added crap in the appendixes and the info in the front beause its straight from Gods word. I thought "didnt someone say you shouldnt add anything or take anything away? Surely adding reason books and appendices on questionabke doctrine (at best) would fall under the category. Ok fine. But then he goes into Spla es talk about translation. And mentions about the part when David Splane said that the world may not like that we have a Bible, those same worldly people are not translators just because they can read greek or know some greek or hebrew or aramaic. And he mentioned the part he appreciated most was Splane then said "but those translators are NOTamong the anointed of Jehovah God" (paraphrasing of course). And the elder said "i thought, 'GOOD FOR YOU'. What a way to respong to those who criticize ALL the hard work these brothers do everyday. And the. Of course he went into bethel and said we needed to visit there because when we did we would have no doubts that this organization belongs to Jehovah because of how efficient it is run and there are guys who used to be plumbers running biiiiig printing presses. I thought "hmmm David Hassan mentioned something about going to visit a place and came back a different himan being".

  despit being taken aback i just kept a calm demeanor. Sheesh.
