Do you know the passage?
by FieryIce inan interesting question, the saints, the holy ones, if they are aware of their calling and choose to not follow for what ever reason, life or family pressures, what are the reprecussion for that called one?.
i was sure i had read a passage that stated the called one that turned away would loose the gifts yet still have their name remain in the book and i thought i read another passage stating the called one that turned away, then turned back again was not allowed and would have their name removed from the book.. the closest i have come to finding these passages is heb.
6:6 and there is john 15:6 but both passages are not quite what i was looking for.

What were the the source(s) for the NWT ?
by badboy ini was reading my niv study bible when it said that some of the septuagint texts are more reliable than the masoretic because the chronicler in chron 1& 2 mentions that david burned the idols when he took baal perazim(sic)(the chronicler is obviously taking a lot of material from the books of samuel) in some septuagint texts the above is mentioned in one of the books of samuel!.
is the nwt translation taken from the septuagint or the masoretic texts?.
if later, they are translating from a unreliable source

UN vs Watchtower Society
by joelbear inthe watchtower has pronounced the un as being the disgusting thing because it is trying to bring about world peace instead of putting its faith in jehovah to do that.. the watchtower claims to be jehovah's tool and itself attempts to unite the peoples of the world into a united organization going so far as to monitor and punish the behavior of individuals around the world.. how are the watchtower's actions different from the united nations actions?.
