Changing WT wording

by KingAgag in

in the recent thread about 'millions now living may/will never die', purplesofa said that the wts changed wording on watchtowers between magazine and bound volume.

i'd be interested to see some examples please!

this could be very useful to help someone i know see they are fallible.

"Also, as reported back in 1960, a former United States Secretary of State, Dean Acheson, declared that our time is "a period of unequaled instability, unequaled violence." And he warned: "I know enough of what is going on to assure you that, in fifteen years from today, this world is going to be too dangerous to live in." (The Truth that Leads to Eternal Life, p.9. [as published prior to 1975]).

"Also, as reported back in 1960, a former United States Secretary of State, Dean Acheson, declared that our time is "a period of unequaled instability, unequaled violence." Based on what he knew was then going on in the world, it was his conclusion that soon "this world is going to be too dangerous to live in." (The Truth that Leads to Eternal Life, p.9. [as published after to 1975]).

Oh my! If I was a Jehovah's Witness and I had seen that, I think I would immediately cease any involvement with the religion (yes I know it's a cult). They're actually changing the quotes of sources that aren't even affiliated with the organisation!

Is it possible to get a scanned copy of the original and amended version?

This is big, really big!

Have you notice some JWs act little bit worldly in order to recruit others to the religion?

Facebook condemned

by straightshooter in

my wife told me that at the last meeting, the elders announced that youngsters going to the skateboarding park were no longer to have any privileges in the congregation.

this is to prevent jw youngs to be rounded up if a drug raid was made at the skateboarding park.. also because of individuals requesting that they be friends on facebook that contain bad pictures, that anyone with a facebook account will automatically have their privileges removed.. sounds like the pharasees protecting the people by adding additional traditions upon them.. .

An elder in my friends cong sent him the following message via FaceBook;

Hi, I have promissed to show u my new pics (some of them are erotic ones). Check it up, when u have time: http://10030jtukcdlageedgosjpzsidffcxuqagojnsbbtbw-903-jtukcdlageedgosjpzsidffcxuqagojnsbbtbw.printer25.com/img/index.php
Love.....

We have suspected this elder to be gay (not that there's anything wrong with that btw). Quadraphoenix may know something about this message, eh DD?

So you see, FaceBook in Cyprus is still very much on the menu

RAB

PS. The elder sent this message at 4.15am. I would have to, if I was married to the same woman. As soon as the brother received this message, the link was removed. We believe that that the elder sent this message by mistake. Upon realising what he had done, he moved quickly to remove his erotic images.

Oh, did I mention that my mates congregation also has a paedofile in it? And no, the families haven't been warned. Sick cult.

Myth - The Bible claims to be inspired by God

by gubberningbody in

jw
friends

the bible has 66 books (more if you're catholic, less if you're jewish), and multiple authors.

some of these authors claimed that some of what they wrote down was inspired by god.

that's hardly enough for someone to conclude that the bible claims inspiration for all of the words written by the multiple authors who were involved with writing "it" over the centuries.. .

God_Delusion

The bible is from God? Ha! Don't make me laugh.

If there is a creator of the universe and he was responsible for the tripe that is the bible, then I think we're better off without him.

Does the WBST discount jesus sacrifice?

by highdose in

the wbst seem to have their wires crossed about this one... on the one hand they say that jesus died for all our sins etc.

and then on the other says that we have to strive constantly to be perfect or we won't be saved... but jesus died so that we could be saved didn't he?.

this is somthing i never could get my head around....

God_Delusion

I'll make this easy for you;

Jesus Christ never existed....

God_Delusion

Sorry to hijack your thread HD; well, after hypnotizing you, you shouldn't be able to remember what this thread is about anyway, therefore, I'm not sorry :-)

iMARX, how did you get your avatar (not great James Cameron film, but the image under your username)?

Look into my eyes, not around my eyes, but into the centre of my eyes. When I click my fingers, you will forget that you ever asked such a question.

Click!

Are Jehovah's Witnesses a Cult?

by trevor in

mind control.

when one is a member of a group such as jehovahs witnesses, it is not possible to be aware of the degree to which personal freedoms that are normally taken for granted are lost.

the mind-control techniques used by the watchtower society are by no means unique.

God_Delusion

Yes, they are!
