  January 2014 Awake

  by wisdomfrombelow in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  anyone know why it is taking so long for it to be put on on jw.org?

  it supposedly highlights the jw.org website so is there a special campaign or something?

  i would have expected it to be there already since both editions of the watchtower have been there for a while..

  Sheohl and haides in the New NWT

  by pixel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so, in their new nwt they render sheohl and haides "grave".

  this is a change from what the teach book says as a pdf.

  these words really mean?

  So, in their New NWT they render Sheohl and haides "Grave". This is a change from what the Teach Book says as a pdf. (I believe they changed it online)

  IN ITS original languages, the Bible uses the Hebrew word
  sheohl and its Greek equivalent haides more than 70 times.
  Both words are related to death. Some Bible translations
  render them as “grave,” “hell,” or “pit.” However, in most
  languages there are no words that convey the precise sense
  of these Hebrew and Greek words. The New World Translation
  therefore uses the words “Sheol” and “Hades.”What do
  these words really mean? Let us note how they are used in
  different Bible passages.

  So, they are saying that some [bad] Bible translations use "grave" instead of Sheohl and haides, and you can see by their tone that they say this is bad. Moreover, they say their old NWT way of rendering it as Sheohl and haides is the best way. Guess how their new NWT renders Sheohl and haides?

  Ecclesiastes 9:10: "Grave"

  Now, they just joined how "some" Bible translation render this text. Btw, the KJV, the one that they trashed so much in their AGM, said "grave" already.

  "We understand that in mentioning “this generation,” Jesus was referring to two groups of anointed Christians."

  Jus this line tells you this is not the true religion. When reading the Bible, they change this (1) to these (2).

  Discusting WT!
