I take this on board. Reminds me of some of the prayers said at conventions where the pray-er proceeded to "Jehovah" us endlessly with "Jehovah" used every second word.

A glaring example of how Watchtower's insertion of "Jehovah" corrupts the NT
by Island Man in"the rnwt replaces "kyrios" (lord) with "jehovah" in translating romans 14:8 as follows:.
"for if we live, we live to jehovah,*+ and if we die, we die to jehovah.
* so both if we live and if we die, we belong to jehovah.".

I am dyslexic and bi-polar and this was not discovered until i was well past youth and school exams that would fill me with utter fear. I learned from a kindly gent years later at exams:
On the word go pick up the paper and read it through. Pencil mark the ones that you have instant recall on until you have read the whole paper over.
The answer those 'easy ones' making sure you clearly number them. By the time you have done these you will have ploughed through alot of the paper. AND, you will have calmed down quite a bit.
Look at the other questions and be surprised what you will now recall.
The questions that you have a blank on--leave.
Do the others come back to that real stinker last and write out just what you do know.
Dear Lord i wish i had known this method all those years ago. Please let me/us know how you go.

by kneehighmiah ini had an idea.
i was reading about the success of the kony 2012 video and was wondering if anyone would be interested in making a documentary to coincide with the international conventions and the 100 year anniversary of gods kingdom.

" par.
19): "he will complete his conquest by abyssing satan and his demons for the full length of the thousand year reign.".

P: The same way an 'important' all together Australia wide hook up talk was held years ago except the jw in the east of Australia were not sitting around for 2 hours until the west was ready in their seats. It was not a nation wide hook up it was a recording but all together sounds more cosy.
This stuff is way over my head. Remember that the founders of wts were into the occult with the 'pyramidology' and other such. One of the books they produced had the wings of Horus across the cover. Since the heady days of Russell they have spent far to much time predicting the 'return' of the christ and "this means this and that means that ..and by that we assume that.. if we interpret...oops we made a F*** up, well we didnt really say that; what you sold your house now your broke well well...".
History shows that groups that secure themselves inside their own monastrys will become so self absorbed that they dont know what day it is.
"No man knows the hour or the day"-
There can be no doubt who really is the power behind the wts.
its all a hell of a long way from the sermon on the mount.
So what do you pay for petrol?

Final post I can't come to this forum anymore!
by hoser ini have come to the conclusion that posting here and visiting this site is not healthy for me anymore.
i just get angry and upset when i read all the stories of injustice and corruption that go on in the jehovahs witness religion.
they are true no doubt, as i have personally experienced many injustices and abuses in my life from being a witness.
