this week's wt study

by thedog1 in

i conducted the wt study tonight on higher education.

i wondered what the reaction of the bros and sis would be.

there was no deviation from the idea that a university education is not a good idea.

fastJehu

Result of the "highest education in the universe" - example of a young brother in bethel:

JW:

- reads a WT article first time - when the wt comes online (or on his table in the room)

- reads (second time) AND study the same article - preparing for the monday "watch" in bethel

- reads the wt third time together with all the brother & sisters in monday's bethel "watch"

- reads the wt 4th time together with all the brother & sisters in his congregation on saturday or sunday

Result: Can not remember the answer without looking on his colored WT

Where in new bible is Jehovah added

by WrongweektostopsniffingGlue in

jw
friends

wondering if anyone has found the six places the name jehovah is added in new bible?.

fastJehu

... blondie was faster then me ...

But have a look here on my posting on page 10:

http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/265174/10/Comprehensive-NWT-Comparison-Project-calling-all-technically-skilled-members#4905438

In Blondie's link are IMHO mistakes:

1 Samuel 6:23 does not exist. Must be 1 Samuel 6:3.

1 Samuel 2:25 has Jehovah also in the "old" NWT.

If I am wrong - please correct me.

Christmas presents--"We get things all year"??

by WTWizard in

i have heard that line of rubbish more times from the platform, especially around this time of year.

yet, given the number of children with few or no toys, about 90% of the time, they get little or nothing year round.

sometimes it is because of poverty, often induced because the parents are supposed to cut back on their work and pious-sneer or donate excessive amounts to the worldwide pedophile defense fund (or both).

"We get things all year"

Realy? As a born in (since around 60 years) I can only say: BIGGEST lie of all.

Tiny procedural change

by Caminante in

since i have my own software to track pdf publication uploads and changes on jw.org and simplify publication downloads, i looked behind the reasons why certain publications had been updated this last month (first the know the truth tract in hungarian which i knew of it didn't have any recent textual revisions, and then bible teach book, which had suffered a further update the picture on page 3 was replaced).

i noticed one little procedural change, which 99 percent of the witnesses won't even notice, but the publications printed since the start of this service year no longer have "all rights reserved" on the publishers' page.

first i thought it was a mistake, but it's for real.

the name Jehovahs Witnesses

by Crazyguy in

ok so rutherford came up with the idea to change the name of the true religion of god to jehovah's witnesses based in isaiah 43. and of course ever since the rank and file witnesses have lovingly thought of themselves as gods chosen people.

well some one frogot to mention that in chapter 62 of isaiah gods says his true followers will be called by a new name.

yes newer then the old name almost 20 chapters ago.

fastJehu

Some days ago Blondie gave me a hint on how Rutherford came up with "this idea":

"Brother Rutherford told me himself that he woke up one night when he was preparing for that convention and he said, `What in the world did I suggest an international convention for when I have no special speech or message for them? Why bring them all here? And then he began to think about it, and Isaiah 43 came to his mind. He got up at two oclock in the morning and wrote in short-hand, at his own desk, an outline of the discourse he was going to give about the Kingdom, the hope of the world, and about the new name. And all that was uttered by him at that time was prepared that night, or that morning at two oclock. And [there is] no doubt in my mind - not then nor now - that the Lord guided him in that, and that is the name Jehovah wants us to bear and were very happy and very glad to have it. "

( 1975 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses , quoting A.H. Macmillan on the invention of the name Jehovah's witnesses, p. 151)
