I love it That JW`s Worship A God Named by The Catholics ,And Follow The Bible Of the protestants .
by smiddy3 inthe tetagrammaton 4 hebrew letters representing gods name in the hebrew scriptures as jhvh or more likely yhwh .. the name jehovah was unheard of before the 13th century simply because no one beforehand had added vowels to those four hebrew consonants representing gods name .. and then comes along a spanish catholic monk of the 13th century that adds vowels to those 4 hebrew consonants and he comes up with the name jehovah.. a name that the catholic church has used in and on churches since the 13th century throughout europe and elsewhere in the world.. and lo and behold the g.b.of jehovah`s witnesses in their wisdom stated in the first edition of the "aid to bible understanding" that they chose the name jehovah as the correct pronunciation of gods name because it was the most popular name in use in the world ?
logically by christendom `s religions ,who else ?.
then their is the bible cannon that all of the major christian religions have different books that they feel should make up the bible.. protestant religions .

Are Christians to be Witnesses of Jesus or Jehovah?
by blondie ini was doing research on another topic and this question came to mind.
notice how the wts dances around the question below and then my comments about that and whether historically did the wts see isaiah as applying to all jws or only anointed members, spiritual israel (galatians 6:16)?.
are christians to be witnesses of jesus or jehovah?.

Proverbs 4:18
by Insight- ini'm so curios about when jehovah's witnesses started to use/mention "proverbs 4:18" for changing their doctrines or briefs.. did they start it from early 1800's by russell ?
or next generation of jw's --- j.f.
rutherford?

Congregation memorial stats
by nowwhat? in2 congregations met together attendance 355 which is close to exact number of combined publishers.
only saw a couple of new faces.
so it looks like once again the invitation work was a complete failure and relatives of jw's couldn't be talked into coming anymore!.

What does the Bible Really Teach?
by days of future passed inpurely from a structural view - favoritism and who has the better position.. when you think about who sinned and their punishment, you start to see a pattern.
this doesn't cover all instances but it is telling.. if you murder, fornicate and disobey but are a king or other notable, you probably get away with your life intact.
in fact, others may suffer for your sinning while you get forgiven.. however, if you impinge on any priestly duties or offices, you are toast.. king david, the one beloved by the wt, is a notable example.

Help: project to gather statistics on JW congregation finances.
by Anders Andersen inmany countries demand that charities publish a yearly summary of their finances.. where i live (netherlands), charities must publish these statements themselves, and jw do this at jw-anbi.nl.
(i'm quite certain almost no jw knows about that site btw.).
anyway i've been working on automatically harvesting data from all the congregation finance statements to gain more insight in how the borg is doing over time.. now it occured to me that i could do this analysis for more countries and get an even bigger picture.
