a new fox poll says biden is up by 12 percentage points.
of course, most other polls say trump will be trounced this time around.. do you think the polls might be right this time?
.
But at least if Uncle Joe does a fireside chat, he'll be smiling and won't be calling you a son-of-a-bitch.
Even if Trump were referring to me, I'd rather have that any day over Uncle Joe's insincere, phoney smile. Trump is out with it, and I find that to be refreshing. If they're all venomous snakes, then Trump is out in the open, whereas, Uncle Airhead and his side are hidden in the grass.
I honestly believe that Trump cares more about the country than Uncle Joe.
the latest instructions from the kingdom hall trust here in the u.k are very revealing, and current j.w elders need to beware !
i will get to that in a minute.
maybe in the usa and other countries too ?.
Damn. In the days of Freddie, it seemed the org was really interested in things spiritual and trying to gain deeper understanding of the Scriptures. Now, the org's focus is on money and self-preservation.
for those who haven't come across furuli before , he is a 77 year old norwegian professor and is ( or was ) one of the few "scholarly" jws used by the society and used as a source on various matters ( especially 607 bce ).. however recently he has fallen out with the gb and has published an interesting book - like many recent scholarly apologists , he seems to be going down the road of disagreeing with the authority of the gb but still holding that the jws is the one true religion.
kind of "lions led by donkeys".
whether this view will continue is anyones guess.
I'm beginning to think Furuli might be sort of like Fred Franz; Franz thought he was a righteous guru with intelligence and knowledge exceeding that of his peers and underlings. Furuli seems to think similarly of himself.
in minneapolis, the city council has voted to abolish the police.. many cities want to either disband or defund the police.
black lives matter and other groups have influenced citizens and neighborhoods to get rid of police and their authority.
is anyone really supportive of removing the police or cutting out law enforcement through the budget?
If they think police are bad, wait until there are none and individuals start enforcing on their own or in their own groups. It'll be the wild west.
Do they even understand the big picture? Who will enforce road laws (and there have to be road laws)? Who will write reports for wrecks? Who will protect against crime?
I just don't get how anyone could even conceive of the idea. Are they that naïve?

but the elders cant say: liberry, pitcher, aks, pronounsiation, mono-tone-us, unconscience.
JoenB75, yes; actually, that's very insightful. Unfortunately, many JWs wouldn't grasp what you posted.

jp1692, I HATE "new-kya-lur". I've heard some really educated (well, at least they had the paper) people say that; I think even some scientists. In an area I used to be in there was a JW college professor with a doctorate in education who said it.
I also hate "Revelations".

Some examples from my area: Joe Nathan ("Jonathan"), Galatea ("Galatia"), Michelle ("Michal") (and that was a CO), Apostal ("Apostle").
Had a school overseer that tried to say "we're going to give you a mark of commendation." This was back when students were given either a G, W, or I. I don't know why he tried to say "mark of commendation" rather than just saying "we're going mark you good" or "we're going to give you a G". Anyway, when trying to say "we're going to give you a mark of commendation", he would say "we're going to give you a mark of accommodation". I heard that every week for several years.... and THAT WAS THE SCHOOL OVERSEER!

Does anybody know why only the Greek Scrips are available for pdf download, yet both the Hebrew and Greek are in the online version?

Thanks. I wasn't even aware there was a study edition.

Can't wait to read it. You know the Great Leaders had to get rid of him. How dare anyone counsel them and/or challenge their authority! They can't let any holes open up to allow for any kind of challenging/questioning/etc. They are in the right hand of Christ! Just look at their history; it shows such ().
