  study article 50. listen to the voice of the fine shepherd.

  9 consider an experience that illustrates how jehovah can care for our material needs.

  a couple in full-time service drove over an hour in their old car to pick up some sisters living at a refugee center and take them to a christian meeting.

  Hi Atlantis...thank you for the link to WT's updated Elder's Manual & related addendums. All this reading reminds me of just how thankless, unpleasant and complicated working for this cult as an elder is!

  This organization must be rife and overflowing with affairs, divorces, remarriages, abandoned children, split families, custody battles and broken families requiring sizable updates in the addendum section of how to handle such cases!

  i was listening to the co talk to my wife’s congregation on sunday and pretty much the complete talk was justifying doctrinal and organizational changes and pretty much preparing the ‘rank and file’ for upcoming changes.

  anyone on hear have any insight of what ‘new light’ is coming in the future?.

  Actually LongHairGal my 'How Sad' remarks are purely sarcasm and mockery towards the retired CO'S & their wives...their low living standards after retiring from the circuit work is their own damn fault!

  New World Translation is not much different other translations

  by Abraham1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  key scripture 2 timothy 3:16 should have been translated as “every scripture inspired of god is also profitable for teaching” like many other serious translations (such as american standard version ; douay-rheims bible etc) as it is what the greek text says.. this is in harmony with the contents of bible and also with the writer paul himself who knew after his departure ‘even from his own number men will arise and distort the truth.’ (acts 20:29-30) for example, verses such as romans 7:19 is such distortion.

  such verses cannot originate from real paul who was “holy, righteous and blameless.” (1 thessalonians 2:10) hence paul had the freeness of speech to tell others to be “blameless” like him (1 thessalonians 5:19-23; ephesians 5:24) there are many things in the scriptures which are not inspired such as words of satan, words of job’s wife and his false friends, words of judas, lot’s daughters …etc.

  apostle peter never disowned jesus because if he had done so, his contemporaries would have interrupted him when he rebuked jews, saying: “you disowned the holy and righteous one and asked that a murderer be released to you.“ (acts 3:14) his listeners would have asked him “what right do you have to reprove us for ‘disowning jesus” when you yourself have done it first?” all such verses or accounts were later adoptions.

  "The New World Translation Is Not Much Different From Other Translations!"

  Oh yes it is!

  The NWT is the only Translation at Colossians 1:16 thru 20 that has the word 'other' 5 times incorrectly inserted and so perverts the meaning of these vs:

  "...16 because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All other things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all other things, and by means of him all other things were made to exist, 18 and he is the head of the body, the congregation. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might become the one who is first in all things; 19 because God was pleased to have all fullness to dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all other things by making peace through the blood he shed on the torture stake, whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens."

  Sorry...but the NWT is filled with distortion, baloney & crock from Genesis to Revelation! :-)

  For New Ones!

  by Atlantis in

  every day someone somewhere is being disfellowshipped.

  after the trauma of being cast out and shunned by relatives and friends, many exjw's start an investigation of the watchtower society.. they begin to collect every scrap of evidence they can get their hands on to prove they were lied to.. some of these archives may come in handy.

  if you need something and it is not in an archive somewhere, send me a pm and i'll see if we can get it for you.

  The "Trinity" is not Biblical.

  by Revealed in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  simple.. you cannot find the word there (or many of the comical variations such as: a triune godhead, the triunity, co-equal god beings, godhead, a hypostaic union, divine essences, divine natures, a god-the-son, a god-the-ghost, hypostasis, homoousios, perichoresis , a godman, omnipresence, incarnation, a god who is a sacred mystery, a god 'in three persons', dual natures, a reincarnate god, a first person of the trinity, a second person of the trinity, a third person of the trinity, godness, a tri-unity or a multipersonal god), or any of the so-mentioned aspects.. jehovah identified himself (not 'themselves") as on one god, as did jesus and all the prophets.

  .

  so, come, let us know of the simple twists of the clergy!.
