How does the WTS mine quotes for their "scholarly inspired" articles ?

by mP in

ive seen a few threads discussing misquotations, including the quote about roman times taken from a book of fiction.

apologies but i cant recall the author or the book mentioned but im sure others will know what im talking about .. so how many books do they read to find these quotes ?

they must b e buying a lot of apostate books just to find a worthy quote.

Their reasoning on "quote mining" is a joke on the rest of mankind.

"The WTBTS does not like blogs or poorly documented Web entries written by unidentified or unqualified persons. For example, Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia, warns that some articles on its own site “contain significant misinformation, unencyclopedic content, or vandalism,” adding that “users need to be aware of this.”

Thus, the Writing Department looks to standard reference works, articles written by recognized experts, and books produced by respected publishers."

Those gruesome stories are taught as face value stories just as what the adults learn in their Theocratic Ministry School.

And that's exactly how they will go about inculcating a yougster's mind during Family Worship™ night.

Don't be mistaken - connecting the dots will have a lasting effect on young minds, and hell, not for the better!

Here is what the instructions book has to say:

"Another suggestion is to try to visualize what you read, making mental pictures as an aid to memory. In imagination see the actors and the background, hear the sounds and voices, smell the odors, taste the food and drink, share the happiness or grief of a situation. Try to put yourself in the scene being described. Every sense can be brought into play imaginatively to reproduce vividly the Bible account. Passages of Bible history can be more easily committed to mind in this way." sg study 4 p. 23 par. 15 How to Read and Remember

Is God's Name Yahweh or Jehovah?

by Soldier77 in

http://www.catholic.com/quickquestions/is-gods-name-yahweh-or-jehovah.

subject title refers to the link that i found in another thread, somewhat buried in text, but i thought it deserved to be highlighted.

take the time to read it if you can and just sit and think about it for a second, think about all of the hate and disgust jw's have for the cc and just let that truth settle in.. amazing really.
