I also met a service committee guy that was some sort of hispanic, about 5'8 or smaller. Pretty nice guy, wish I could remember his name.

Still remember a couple years bringing this up to one of the local Elders where we attended. All he said was "We really dropped the ball".

Is This Really Why the JWs changed the worship Jesus thing?
by lambsbottom inthe verb proskuneo is used fifty-eight times in the new testament.
when the king james translation was made, the word picked to best convey the meaning of the greek word was "worship.
" at that time, the english word "worship" had a range of meaning close to what i have suggested for the greek word proskuneo.

The verb proskuneo is used fifty-eight times in the New Testament. When the King James translation was made, the word picked to best convey the meaning of the Greek word was "worship." At that time, the English word "worship" had a range of meaning close to what I have suggested for the Greek word proskuneo. It could be used for the attitude of reverence given to God, but also for the act of prostration. The word was also used as a form of address to people of high status, in the form "your worship." So the King James translation committee made a pretty good choice.
But modern English is not King James English, and the range of the meaning for the word "worship" has narrowed considerably. Today, we use it only for religious veneration of God, so it no longer covers all of the uses for the Greek verb proskuneo, or of the English word in the day of King James. For this reason, it is necessary that modern translations find appropriate terms to accurately convey precisely what is implied by the use of proskuneo in the various passages where it appears. If they fail to do this, and cling to the old English word "worship" without acknowledging its shift of meaning since the days of King James, they mislead their readers into thinking that every greeting, kiss, or prostration in the Bible is an act of worship directed to a god. (p. 42)

@Paris:
I've read CoC and have been awake for a couple years. I just have a hard time believing all this pagan mixed with Bible teachings. Dont get me wrong, WT teachings can get just as bad. Any idea on where to find sane Christians?

On a side note, doe anyone here still agree with JW doctrines? Trinity being false? Hellfire being false? Jehovah being a good thing in the OT & NT? I find it hard to distance myself from the Org when I agree with so much of what they call "core doctrine".
Grrrr....

Sitting here with a jw old timer. He still hangs on to " this is Jehovah's organization, even though there is a lot of problems. He's definitely awake but he can't let it go! He still wants to believe. Sad
