  Leaps of Logic

  from the march 1, 2010 wt:.

  is the bible the word of god?.

  all scripture is inspired of god and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man of god may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.2 timothy 3:16, 17.. .

  When was the significance of the year 1919 first stated?

  by jwfacts in

  .

  when was it first introduced that the watchtower organisation was chosen in 1919?

  i expect this was something first published under rutherford, as a way of making his leadership more important than that of russell, but would like some evidence to back that claim up.. .

  Blood sausage

  by stillin in

  while visiting our neighbors across the pond, i visited a butcher store to rustle up something for supper.

  that was the first time i had ever seen blood sausage.

  we just never see it over here in the states.. when a witness leaves the organization over there, do they all eat blood sausage once again?

  The epitome of narcissism

  by Separation of Powers in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there are several disturbing things that were said in the latest annual meeting.

  one of the most disturbing was a comment made by david splane.

  he made reference to how the clergy "howled" when the first new world bible translation committee produced the first nwt.

  Six extra Jehovahs!

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the old nwt used the name jehovah 7207 times and the new nwt uses it 7213 times.. has anyone worked out where the extra jehovahs appear in the text?

  who wants to play where's wally, i mean where's jehovah?

  however there's an even bigger jump in jesuses: 940 up from 918.. satan is exactly the same at 54..
