Need help: JW and Crystal Night 1938
by Atreyu inat june 24, the former editor of "bergens tidende", the main newspaper of bergen, norway, wrote an article about jw versus nazi-germany.
obviously, he has recently seen one of the videos from wts about the issue.
the article stated that jw was the only church that raised their voice in protest against the "crystal night" in 1938, when the nazis ravaged jewish synagoges, shops and homes and sent thousands of jews to consentration camps.

JW catches "smear pedo catholic priests&qu...
by Atreyu ini'm in need of advice:.
today a jw wrote an article in a norwegain newspaper about the pedofile catholic priests scandal in the us these days.
obviously, he enjoyed smearing them and argumented that the institution of celibacy was the root to the evil doings.. but, this jw is not personally very active - and he didn't mention anything jw-related in his article at all.

Snow in Bethlehem
by Atreyu infor many years i thought that one wts argument against jesus being born in december was valid:.
"the sheep were out in the fields of bethlem when jesus was born.
there are sometimes snow in this area in december, so the event couldn't have taken place in that season.".

The Last Supper - very simple
by Atreyu injesus took bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to the disciples.
take it and eat it, he said, this is my body.
then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he handed it to them saying, drink from this, all of you, for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

"They know we have the truth!"
by Atreyu ini remember a popular idea that often surfaced in informal discussions among the jws in my congregation, especially back in the 70ies:.
(this was in norway, and please remind that the evangelical-lutheran church is a national church and that ca 95% of population are members.).
"the priests know that we have the truth!".

"You Know" invited to The Last Supper
by Atreyu insorry for late response.
this is a commentary to a reply from you know, regarding the meaning of the last supper.
by using covenant in both verses, the nwt is thereby giving the impression that the covenant of the blood (v20) is the same thing as the appointment of the kingdom to the disciples (v29).. the greek word for covenant in v20 is diatheke.
