the gb bit off more than they can chew.
they promised that the nwt revised would be available in so many languages by now, and they have failed miserably.. english stands alone.
as a result, they are in damage control mode.
Thanks for the information Biblexaminer.
It should come as no surprise by now that you can't believe the experiences and quotes in Watchtower's literature, but it still does.
If the original remarks (from the 11-1-07 W) are being dishonestly recycled to make them appear to be recent remarks praising the rNWT (in the 12-15-15 W), then how do we know the original remarks aren't lies too?
this took quite a while this evening.
so worth it though.
hope you enjoy!
Makemeanunbeliever: It doesn't take much effort to find and mock flaws. It takes greater effort and caring to point out the strengths.
Exactly what strengths was Watchtower pointing to when it wrote this...
The Watchtower, August 15, 1994: "In stark contrast, news reports have time and again revealed many of the clergy in some lands to be pedophiles, immoral swindlers, and frauds. Their works of the flesh and their extravagant life-styles are manifest for all to see. One popular songwriter expressed it well in his song entitled "Would Jesus Wear a Rolex [a very expensive gold watch] on His Television Show?"
Does it matter if the GB members wear real Rolexes or not? Watchtower has constantly reminded JWs that they should never imitate the world. The pinky rings, gold watches and other gold jewelry that is being flashed are clearly in imitation of the very thing Watchtower is condemning in the song that is referred to in the above quote.
If you are going to badmouth someone for a certain behavior, you should distance yourself from that same behavior, not imitate it. Whether the jewelry is real or fake is beside the point.
well, well, that was quite a heartfelt welcome on this site four days ago.
thank you all for the encouraging replies.
one of them was this one from magnum: "hey now, don't just pop your head in and disappear.
I'd like to know more about the Underground Movement too. Is it an organized thing, or a loose collection of ones with doubts, or just scattered individuals?
Do you have to be an active Witness to be in it? Attending meetings just from time to time?
Myself, I haven't been to a meeting or assembly in 9 years and have absolutely no intention of returning.
You an PM me with information is you wish.
That video was a complete waste of good bread.

I believe the poster was Splash.

You've got all kinds of curiosity whipped up here. Can't wait til tonight to see what it's all about!

i have been lurking for years on this site and others but never had the courage to post anything.
actually i was afraid of posting on an apostate site in the event i was wrong.
JWDaughter: "With all the changes in that teaching in the last 40 years, I think it best not to say anything. I'm having a tough time keeping up with what they believe and teach on the subject, and I have not read all the upcoming articles yet."
Oh that's good! You never know, New Light could be just around the corner so we all need to be careful what we commit to as JWs. Let's wait and see what future articles tell us.
A new strategy to avoid their questions. Who wants to be the first to try it? It should at least make the elders grin.
