  Marley Cole's "Jehovah's Witnesses - The New World Society"

  well, i just finished reading marley cole's "jehovah's witnesses - the new world society" book from 1955. i'll provide a few quotes to introduce it in case you aren't familiar with the book.

  ray franz in crisis of conscience, p74, 2004 hc edition: cole wrote the book as if he were a non-witness writing an objective account.

  the idea was that by having the book published by an outside publishing firm it might reach persons who normally would not take society literature.

  i posted this in another thread, but thought that it was probably worth its own discussion.

  apologies if you've seen this in the other thread.

  here is a graphic that appeared in the june 1, 2005 watchtower.

  Some questions about WT sources

  something has been bugging me for years and years, and always bugged me when i was an active witness.

  i've never mentioned it before and i've never seen it discussed.

  like with a lot of other matters, i just assumed that this meant that i was missing something that everyone else understood.

  Some observations and questions about the NWT

  i don't know whether anyone here has encountered a program called e-sword (with the hyphen in it like that).

  it is bible study software that lets you install literally dozens of different translations of the bible to compare, plus dictionaries, maps, and commentaries (including historic commentaries like the ones ray franz describes in coc).

  you can install both modern and historic translations, plus versions of the original greek and hebrew manuscripts as well as the latin vulgate and greek septuagint translations.

  REQ: OKS August 1980

  by witnessgirl in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've been reading raymond franz's book "crisis of conscience", and i noticed that his quotations from the august 1980 oks differ from what's on the watchtower library cd (big suprise, i know).

  i only seem to have december from that year.

  i wonder whether anyone might have august 1980 and be willing to scan it.
