Going on the OFFENSIVE

by Coded Logic in

the wtbts has an easy time painting x-witnesses as apostates because the direction of information is entirely one way.

and jws rarely get an opportunity to consider both sides of the equation for themselves.

i think that websites like this one are a great tool for those who are already questioning their beliefs or are already entirely out.

I am filled with sadness to see in the congregation I attend still mostly beliveing (my age group)

Now to be honest I was well read in science as a child and teen and accepted the old earth creationist view until I found out what eveolution really says is not what I thought it said.

That being said I hate the way mnay apostates used to fight jws.

Blowhorns shouing... how did this help...?

Signs thats says: Jesus is Bezelzabub'......How does that help?

None... Morons.

To fight the WT we must use facts cold hearted plain facts. Like Chromosome #2 or Where is the tomb od David from Acts 2? Anyone know,... it doesn't exist!

The WT and their servants (elders) cannot fight this so they fear... fear means we actually have a chance

1 - still think it's the truth ...came to this site cause danger is your middle name.. 2 - concerned, smoething's amiss but still believe.

3 - 98% sure it's bs, but still go for / with family.

4 - anger / denial, inactive with minimal attendance (ie memorial, spec talk etc).

The height of delusion on display at last Tuesdays meeting...

i literally just sat there with my mouth open.

sometimes the delusional mind of jws takes steroids.. it was during the draw close to jehovah study where they praise the mosaic law and how perfectly wonderful it was.

you should have seen the almost giddy attitude the conductor had and the comments from the audience.

If anyone feels better... there is zero evidence for the book of Joshua being historical. (Jericho's walls and Hazor's burning are another topic)

The book was written as propaganda in the Ezra 9,10 setting... Hate Canaanites! We killed those F888ers when we moved here see....

The sad part is the same propaganda is spewed from Kingdom Halls today.

Do the Governing Body believe their own teachings or know it's a lie? Are they atheists?

by BucketShopBill in

the new young blood gb member, you think he really thinks this is the truth or is he protecting his financial interest like all the older gb members who enjoy basking in glory of men?

do you think they believe in the "over-lapping generation" or was that a mistake done by barr?.

how much of the watchtower and the bible do the governing body know, ray franz jr. said he was not impressed with their bible knowledge and their lack of knowledge of the watchtower cannon.

The GB are deluded figureheads,

Thw writing and reaseach commite are atheists!

I know this because in the creator book and bible go'd word or man's they misquoated aor quoate-mined sentances from knowledgable books hundreds of times. Take Carl Sagen's quote or Richard Dawkins quotes in the Creation book 1985... both out of context and quoate-mined.

Accuracy of the Revised NWT

by dabster in

i was speaking with a jw yesterday.

i'd previously mentioned the removal of the brackets around 'other' in colossians 1 making the mistranslation complete.

during our chat he said that the previous edition of the nwt was the more correct one, that the revised version was simply more readable and that it shouldn't be considered the best translation.

Would you prefer to read Homer in a deliberate mistranslation or have someone change Shakespears plays or change mozarts plays a little to suit their tatses?

I'm curious about the Publisher Record Card.

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

i was once told that a publisher had the right to examine their own record card.. what would happen if a publisher examined it and threw it out?.

As for the insertations of the name 'Jehovah' into the NT I would argue against it but ...

The Scriptures 1998

An Americain Translaton

The Messianic Israel Standerd Bible

and several others do the same. (All these translations are Messianic Jewish.

The 1961 version of the NWT screwed up majorly what do you expect from the RNWT?

Check out Job ^:6 for instance and tell me if you can take that seriously? (The word mellows would be more appropriate)

Revelation 5 has a biased mistranslation as does John 8:58.

Revelation 8:23 has a known mistranslation from Westcott and Hort. (Unless you believe in squaking eagles)

Jeremiah inserted the word testicle where there is very sparse need for it.

All the OT has the expression 'dungy idols' where there is very sparse translation need.

The expression 'the true God' has NO textual basies and is always Elohim.- God

Colossians 1:14-16 has major insertations.

I fail to see why the 1961 version removed 'son of gos' from mark 1:1 then reinserted it in 2013. Do these guys even compare manuscripts and see the following verse Mark 1:2 contains a lie in the text they used?

Genesis 1:2 is a joke at best! How they can possibly render psirit as 'active force' is a laugh. 'Wind' would be accurate.

Zechariah 12, Luke 2, Acts 8, Isaiah 14, Job 38 all contain outright lies in the translation.

Genesis 34:7 i beleive is also mistranslated as saying 'against Israel' and not 'in Israel' as the text says. This is a lie to hide the late authorship.

The boosk of Lamentaions, Pslams and Haggai look like someone copied from the JPS. (Someone should sue)

I'm an atheist and I can spot these errors... that's sad.

Waking up your spouse

by All for show in

i am aware this has to be done quite carefully, but how?

while many may complain and see the hypocrisy within the kh's, maybe even with the gb, how does one bring up doctrine issues?

i surely can not tell my husband to "go look what jwfacts.com says".

I know a video that has the potential to wake my wife as while and millions more up BUT... to watch this made me depressed for months before I could cope with it... what will it do to others. For this reason as least for now I must refrian

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUxLR9hdorI

On this website I contantly see people 'picking off the top' as in fighting doctrine of Christianity... whule this may work it is far better to topple the bottom. But it can hurt emotionally... take this one slow.

The JW religions is setting itself u for this. Read their recent 'light'.

The sad part is while 2 million at best mihgt follow to WTBS toanywhere... that's 2 millions deceived persos because WE as reasonable people could see that creation etc was false... Jeblooper was false... these guys were mosre crazy then most of Christianoty and we did nothing...

This is a possible senario theough not likely... however... there is a small chance..

Why do we so-called apostates and infultrator (like me) stand back.. it time to slowly take more control then information

Th GB is NOT the enemy the Writing department and the Board of Driectors are the real men... once I see and infultration and take over there I will be convinced JW's wil splinter... not before
