i began watching a well-reviewed crime series -- dicte -- in streaming netflix last night.
although it is compelling, the audio was in danish and was close-captioned into english.
i didn't complete the first episode because watching cc is too laborious for me.
Fatfreek, I watched the whole series Dicte not too long ago. It is well worth watching. Season 2 gets into the blood transfusion issue. .
I like sub-titled shows - I can read faster than the actors speak and it leaves me time to look at the sets and pay attention to the camera cuts. :)

question:.
how firmly grounded in reality is the claim of jehovahs witnesses that the divine name (jehovah) belongs in the new testament?.
no Jehovah in the dead sea scrolls either.
Sir82: Actually, I'm pretty sure it is in there.
Ummm...no. If you read Ehrman's response to Terry question, you would realize that 'Jehovah' does not appear at all in the original Hebrew text. 'Jehovah' is a made up word.
The tetragrammaton appears in the dead Sea scrolls, but not the word 'Jehovah'.
what's the problem with prophecy?prophecy primarily requires a pattern recognition or insightful strategy not an analytical strategy.
prophecy rarely gives names whether of empires or their rulers.
even the name of the messiah - yeshua -wasn't foretold.
scotoma: You can brush this off as mere opinion. But if you don’t believe in the Bible you aren’t going to find a more educated opinion of the world’s situation.
Lol!
Can you define "more educated"?
I don't "believe in" the bible. I can think of many far more 'educated' opinions than what the bible has to offer.
Have you ever read Jean Baudrillard's writings?
this is the latest offering from the caleb/sophia duo - lesson 16, preach in a foreign language.

hard to pin down caleb and sophia's race
They are not Chinese. Or Japanese. Or Korean. Or Vietnamese. Unless, of course, they are mixed-Asian.
Caleb and Sophia are presented as mixed race - mid-tone brown.

Did Rutherford use the KJV of the bible when he took over the WTS ?
Yes. I believe that the KJV was used right up until the NWT was published in the 1960s. My dad's old JW bible is a KJV.
davidmitchell: You will find the actual word occurs four times:
Okay. Thanks. :)

I dont think the King James version used Jehovah ??
Yes, the King James version does use 'Jehovah'.
'Jehovah' appears 7 times in the KJV (all in the Old Testament).

Finklestein, I think that the use of the word 'Jehovah', within the Millerite movement, was already well established by the time that Russell got his feet wet in the proverbial muck of bible prophecy.
George Storrs published the Bible Examiner in 1843 until 1880. His text is liberally sprinkled with the word 'Jehovah'.
could he be the next "celebrity" jw?

Simon Cowell?
Huh.
He would do anything, including accepting a JW bibble, to get a photograph op with two young women. The photo says way more about Cowell than it does about the JWs.

Finklestein: Does anyone have any old WTS. articles that used Jehovah or relating to when and how the WTS started to use Jehovah ?
Charles Russell used the word 'Jehovah' when referring to God.
In the January 1884 Zion's Watchtower, 'Jehovah' is used 61 times.
https://archive.org/search.php?query=zion%20watchtower
All early Russell literature uses the word 'Jehovah'.
However, I believe that it was Da Judge who made the use of the 'name' into what it is today.
similarities between, jw:ism, stalinism, putinism, and mullahism, popeism and maoism..
all these leaders has been elected by un elite group controlling big values in form of real estate, bank account, enthusiastic voluntary working task forces, almost willingly to die for their leaders.
the workers (slave class), is never ever supposed to question the leaders decisions.
I am only preparing for an University Essay
Okay. :)
For which university class? Sociology? Political Studies?
Have you been introduced to Michel Foucault? His analysis of power and how power is maintained by the structure of the panopticon is vital to understanding the nature of political leadership and how totalitarian regimes emerge.
