  Letter about changes in book 100 year kingdom

  by Rather Be the Hammer in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  yesterday a letter was read in our congregation.

  it said that there have been doctrinal changes in many chapters of the book 'god's kingdom rules' so everyone but especially the conductor must be sure to use the latest update of the book.. this book is only ...how old?

  two years?

  "Brother Bayatyan" has maybe "left the truth"?

  Watchtower following the old Stalinist policy of airbrushing ideological renegades out of the picture.

  What is the purpose of life?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  while reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.

  because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".

  i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.

  Which is one better than even Jesus who rode two horses into Jerusalem. (Matt 21)

  Are they going to issue cut and paste corrections like they did with the Revelation book?

  Boldly warn those who are Watchotwer defending

  Tell all such men they've been left high and dry

  New light's a crock and there's no use pretending

  Splane's "generation" is pie in the sky

  Hail the theocracy ever decreasing

  Wondrous contraction is now taking place

  Errors of doctrine emerge without ceasing

  To those who walk with no blindfold in place

  everyone knows americans don't agree on pronunciations.. that's great, because regional accents and dialects are a major part of why american english is so interesting.. josh katz, a former ph.d. student of statistics at north carolina state university, published a group of awesome visualizations of professor bert vaux and scott golder's linguistic survey, which looked at differences in american dialects (via detsl on /r/linguistics).. his results were first published on the abstract, the nc state university research blog.

  the complete set of katz's maps, updated with the results from more than 350,000 new survey responses, are compiled in the new book "speaking american," publishing october 25 from houghton mifflin harcourt.. katz gave business insider permission to publish some of the coolest maps from his collection..

  Ha, and I like how Florida calls New York "the city" on map 21. I guess I learned something about America from Seinfeld after all...

  Very interesting! I'm very interested in this. It's a shame Leolaia isn't around to discuss it.

  I find it a little difficult to distinguish because I'm colour blind.

  But is there a particularly striking concentration of soda(?) in Missouri on map 12.

  And you get rotaries instead of roundabouts, but only in Maine?
