i came across this a few weeks back while doing some online research http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/boe/ (i hope that's how you post links) and i'm curious to know if any of you have done research into this book and what are your comments/thoughts on it?.
i've read through the watchers and the adam and eve story, quite interesting opens up another angle of the whole "in the beginning".... how accurate is this book?
why was it left out of the bible?
I'm resurrecting this topic because this is the stumper. How does a Jehovah's Witness convince someone who believes that the Book of Enoch is Scripture that it is NOT Scripture?
If the Book of Enoch is not Scripture, then the book of Jude is not Scripture, since Jude quotes from Enoch. So for you to convince me that the Book of Enoch is NOT Scripture you must prove that the Book of Jude does NOT quote Enoch. Good luck clean shaven missionary.
watchtower, study edition, september 2015, "are you reaching the stature that belongs to christ?":.
paragraph 6: the mature christian shows humility in that he recognizes that jehovahs ways and standards are always better than his own.
[footnote: for example, older, experienced brothers may be asked to step aside from certain responsibilities and to lend support to younger brothers as they take on those responsibilities.].

not sure how wide spread this is, but from my social media land i saw 2 separate videos, from two halls in completely different towns featuring their kids having a demonstration on the service meeting (i am guessing last night as i didn't go).
these kids are really young!
maybe this was just a coincidence at first i thought it was the same video then realized theses people live hundreds of miles apart.
for some background, i am still in.
still an elder.
very much awake.
i think the lesson on the blood issue in this story is obvious.. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/hero-sikh-man-breaks-strict-5711701.
quote from the watchtower, march 15, 2015, page 23:.
in the illustration of the faithful and discreet slave, jesus spoke of an evil slave who beat his fellow slaves.
jesus was not there foretelling that an evil slave class would arise.
the bible says so much about so many things.
is there an organization that does everything the bible says?
Ah, yes, but it is Rasta music blasting out of cars and in the bars praising JAH. No one but the Rastas is praising JAH in music wherever there is an amplifier. While the little empty suit baldheads go from house to house like Saul causing disturbances. I hope they repent like Saul did!
not on the front page, not in the study articles, but carefully camouflaged in the questions from readers on page 18 (watchtower march 15, 2015).
you can bet most jws wont even read it..
there is no apology...just the usual excuses..
