while growing up, my dad maintained a rather huge wts library.

i liked the idea of being able to pick out one of those old books from the1940s or earlier and read what they were saying back then.

well for the first time, in september of 2006 at the age of 40, i finally became a home-owner.

'we all have a priori knowledge, so we can't claim objective knowledge.

by the way, our senses only observe part of reality.

then, how do you dare asserting that you're right?

it is not infrequently that jehovah's witnesses make the statement that the name of their organization is "scriptural.

Blondie and/or anyone else who's able to help.....

in the 1970 edition of the new world translation in hebrews 1:6, it says, "and let all god's angels worship him.

" but the newer 1980 version of the nwt changed that to "and let all god's angels do obeisance to him.".

are there any other passages of scripture that the wts has changed from the older nwt version (to fit their doctrine)??

What's Your MAIN Reason For Not Believing In "The Truth"?
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
my mother had this discussion yesterday.

basically, my main argument was that if the fds gets jehovah's holy spirit and their "food" is "the truth", yet they always are correcting themselves, how can anyone in all fairness believe it's "the truth"??

you can't show scripturally why organ transplants are a form of cannibalism and clearly a disfellowshipping offense and a couple of years later after possible disfellowshippings or death, and then believe jehovah god changed his view suddenly.

i had a few trips planned but they're now on hold pending how well my sister copes with her chemo.
