THE bible doesnt make sense imho. But what can you expect, 66 books by 40 different writers among them fishermen and an old prisoner om mushrooms. There are far more important books to read.

Independent reading of Bible results in better understanding
by Ireneus inin guided reading, you tend to get the understanding of the guide.
what if guide is blind?
religious leaders who understand ‘one innocent man should be killed to atone the sins of others are in bondage to darkness, hence there is nothing good to be expected from them.

On the reliability of the Watchtower
by Sergey Antonov inhello!
could you give a link to the articles of the watchtower society, where they claim that information from the faithful and prudent slave comes from god and jesus christ.
and also, that magazines publish not people's thoughts, but god?.

Behaviour in bethel are they like the jw dramas?
by purrpurr inwhat i mean is, i've discussed recently how odd the behaviour of jws is on the drama films that they show at the conventions.
i'm wondering is the reason why it's so odd because that how's the jws at bethel talk and act in real life?
is the behaviour at bethel so warped from the outside world that they actually think that their behaviour is normal?.

Fred Franz Former Training in Ancient Greek
by Wild_Thing inhas anyone been able to verify that fred franz received the minimal training in ancient greek that he claimed gave him the expertise to translate the bible?
you would think that would be fairly easy to verify or disprove in this day and age.
what college did he attend?

It might be a little off-topic, but hearing him he sounds to me as a presumptuous, haughty man. Why mention Oxford so many times speaking about your self. Besides when you get outlines for a talk on any assembly it always says not to draw the attention to one as a speaker (jokes, personal things), and look what he does.
I personally (might be a Dutch thing, we don't like snobbish people in general) always hated jw's talking about what they could have been if they wouldnt have been a jw.
Anyway, if Franz dominated Koine, he was lucky just to have to read it and write it. I have heard him in Spanish (an old recording a mexican brother had), it was more Kentucky with a Spanish accent.

by TerryWalstrom ini'm posting this link:http://jwdivorces.bravehost.com/spies.htmlonce you start reading it you won't be able to stop.fascinating and well-documented citations which give credibility to the belief that such a sneaky, underhanded, and often illegal practice has been secretly promoted for decades by watchtower society world headquarters..

Are we losing our way a bit at JWN?
by nicolaou infirstly, i want to be crystal clear how grateful i am for jwn.
it's been my place of support for over seventeen years and it's the first online space i direct anyone to if they are taking steps out of the cult.
i am not bashing jwn - i love this place and appreciate the hard work and expense simon puts in to keep it going.

What bothers me more than the topics on politics are the repetitly ignorant alegations of freemason pinkies, Rolex watches, expensive suits and being millionairs the gb.

what will be the next thing
by pepperheart inhi what will be the next thing that watchtower will cut,if you say the leaked video that fay put up the finance guy from the watchtower was saying that they had spent $26 million in about 6 months.
so if they are getting through money that fast then they are going to have problems.

I have not seen the complete video but if 4,5 million a month includes maintaining bethelites, co's and missionaries (sp are not that much of a burden) it really thought it was more. One missionary "family" alone of let's say six will cost the society easily 3000 a month. Missionary-home, rent between 1000-1500, lights, 1 dollar a meal, allowances and there always some sick or ill and needs local doctors, dentist etc. So really I thought or think it is more. It could be that their accountancy is not accurate. I fact their is little control in my experience.

Does anyone know of this guy, or agree with his statements on racial differences in IQ?
by Sugar Shane inhere are some quotes by the guy, from his youtube channel.
his name is stefan molyneux, and he’s apparently popular among the alt-right crowd.
he’s also widely quoted on these discussion boards, by certain ex-jws, who use him to help promote their political views.

LV101, why not leaving the topic slavery outside this discussion? It has nothing to do with slavery.
