    Hello everyone,

    Just some thought provoking points,

    from the WTBS Inc. CD-Rom 2001 edition,

    which has publications from the year 1950 to 2001.

    Let’s start :

    1* organization :

    2* 1914

    - n° of times use of the word……………….6,150 times

    - n° of times in the whole Bible …….. …… 0

    - maximum n° of times use in one article…… 64

    (w. 15.10.66, pages613-626 )

    3* 1919

    - n° of times use of the word……………….2,321 times

    - n° of times in the whole Bible …….. …… 55

    - maximum n° of times use in one article…… …. 41

    (w. 1.03.77 pages 148-152 )

    7* sheperd

    - n° of times in the whole Bible …….. …… 95

    - maximum n° of times use in one article…… …. 83

    8* overseer

    - n° of times use of the word…………………6,147 times

    - n° of times in the whole Bible …….. …… 29

    - maximum n° of times use in one article…… …. 40

    (w. 1.03.66 pages 143-149 )

    Quite interesting ! Btw, for the combined total of the last 3 , i.e.

    elders, sheperd, overseer you get :

    - n° of times use of the words……………………..19,020 times

    - n° of times, for the 3 words in the whole Bible …….179 times.

    I do hope you had..some fun, but really it’s

    all ..pure indoctrination alias brainwashing .

    If you wish some more…just suggest.

    How about "loyalty"? That's one of their most often used manipulation words. Basically, used in the context of, loyalty to the org = loyalty to God.

    Interesting. How about looking up the word "report" as in "field service report", or "congregation report"? Nah, I know that's not in the Bible at all...but I wonder how often it's in the publications?

    The only problem I see with this thread (forgive me for being punctillious) is that it takes all the literature the Society produced for over fifty years and compares it to the Bible: take virtually any word and it will be used more by the Society in this way because you are comparing a very large sum of literature to just one book. All the same, I think you made a good point

    Hello everyone,

    Dan the Man: a very good suggestion,..for the next time.

    Logansrun: It is true but, overall you have to admit that some words

    are used only for the WTBS Inc. ' own needs, and you must

    admit they are making a mighty good use of them.

    How abou the "main theme of the Bible"

    the VINDICATION of Jehovahs SOVEREIGNTY by means of the kingdom.

    On my 1999 CD vindication never was in the Bible even once!

    neither was "sovereignty" even once!

    "sovereign" was I think about 300 times in the OT but only 3 Times in the text of the NT!

    Of couse "Jehovah" is not in any of the original texts of the NT.

    So how can these things be the main theme of the bible?

    Hey Mac,

    I'm sure it's all just a matter of translation. Be patient all will be emended in the New New Light World Translation.

    I didn't know that there was a version out after the 1999 one.

    How can I get my hands on the 2001 version?

    MacH,

    I'm glad you spent your valuable time doing this research, because it once again proves that the Watchtower Religion(tm) is ALL Bible-Based(tm).

    Virtually NONE of their major beliefs are based upon ANY Scripture. Therefore, this PROVES they have the truth. Not just ANY Truth(tm), but the one and ONLY Truth(tm) that no one else is able to figure out.

    Makes perfect sense to me!

    Keep up the good work!

    Farkel
