Why say Jehovah anymore?
by Bang inthe wtbts uses the word 'jehovah' to lord it over people.
it's great that they picked on a made up name - it's a gift horse in the mouth for you to be so at liberty to drop it.
(i love sayings, you know, a gift , horse / pride, and from their own mouth?)..

Trying again for more door to door reasons
by Bang ini posted a question before regarding the way jws go door to door.
[luke 10:7.23] and remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide,for the laborer deserves his wages; do not go from house to house.
if the apostles didn't do it and jesus said not to, why do the jws do it en masse?

Door to door
by Bang inin hope of freeing a slave, i am continuing to post about going door to door.
"do not go from house to house".
the problem with going house to house is that instead of "seeking out those who are worthy" as directed, holy things are given to dogs and they attack people with it, and so on.

The two witnesses and Susannah
by Bang inin the second century a mural was drawn from the susannah story on the walls of the roman catacombs - all the early texts included the story of susannah.
the reformationists/protestants took it out of their bible - i assume the anti-catholic wtbts have also.
catholics have kept the story in the bible, it's a part of daniel.. it's a story of the 'two witnesses' - elders.

Who knows the names?
by Bang incan everyone tell me the names that the wtbts calls people by?

Does the wtbts have a 'bible study' on this?
by Bang ini posted this on the main section but it seems that it's not a well known issue.
it's the question regarding the way jws go door to door.
[luke 10:7.23] and remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide,for the laborer deserves his wages; do not go from house to house.

What's with the third person ?
by Bang inhas everyone noticed that the wtbts are always talking about jws like some kind of anthropological observer, rather than using "we" or "us".
a quick look at their website and you can see the language.
there's no "we", it's all "them", so i suppose when they get it wrong again it was "them", not "us".. when confronted with blame they can just hang them out to dry - whoever they are.
