1 Thess 4:13 Changed NWT
by garlic81 in1 thess 4:13 was changed as well from "sleeping in death" to "falling asleep in death".
so instead of just being ignorant and sorrowing about those who have already died, it could be of those who are close to dying as well.
they themselves shouldn't be sorrowing excessively because they have a hope talked about in 14..

Generation Change
by garlic81 ini know there was an article on john barr's comments at the annual meeting this year.
i've posted the reference below.
i'm wondering if they are thinking of changing the belief back to that some annointed alive in 1914 will be alive when the tribulation starts?

Why don't JWs fear God or God's Wrath?
by Deputy Dog inyesterday (see http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/182849/1/why-do-jws-fear-satan-and-demons-so-much ) we seemed to confirm that jws fear satan more than god.
in fact, angel eyes (after she told us about her encounter with a man who had been "dabbling in black magic and witch craft",) made this comment:oh and i dont fear jah....why on earth would i fear my loving father?.
now to be fair to angel eyes, she says she doesn't fear satan.

How would you respond (RESPECTFULLY)?
by AwSnap inif a witness brought up the example of lazarus, how jesus said he was "asleep" (which really meant dead)....and then he resurrected him and more people than ever had faith in jesus.. as part of the argument that most don't go to heaven when they die, suppose a jw said "most people believe we go live it up in heaven when we die.
but wouldn't that be cruel on god's part to let lazarus' soul come to heaven and then have jesus bring him back to the crummy earth?
how would you respond to that?.

Did the sun stand still and go backwards up the steps?
by TJ - iAmCleared2Land inbeen a while since i posted here, but driving into work the other day i recalled how "excited" we all were when it was announced that scientists had discovered "proof" that there is a full "day" missing astronomically, for the exact period of time covered by joshua's having the sun stand still, and isaiah having the sun move backwards, sending the shadow back up the steps for hezekiah.. that got me searching jwd for a thread about this topic, and i didn't find one, but i did find this snopes article.. http://www.snopes.com/religion/lostday.asp.

idolatry
by paul from cleveland inis the attention directed toward the accomplishments of the organization really a form of idolatry, as some contend, or is it simply following jesus' admonition to "let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your father in heaven"?.

Who Really IS the Faithful and Discreet Slave?
by AGuest into the household of god, isarel... and those who go with... may you have peace!.
when among those loyal to the wtbts, i recall having conversations with those of "the great crowd," who believed that, while perhaps christ led "the anointed," it was the ""faithful and discreet slave" who led them.
certainly, the wtbts teaches this lie.
