  Where the need is greater: TTATT in Spanish

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems most of the us growth is in spanish-speaking territory, and of course, there is growth in the nations where spanish is the predominant language.

  most sites oriented around ttatt, are english-speaking.

  there seems then to be a great need for translators...for instance, imagine if there was a spanish version of www.jwfacts.com.. unfortunately, i dont speak this language.

  1917 - What REALLY happened?

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower

  regarding what happened post russell in 1917, if you ask a jw, they'll say it was the fault of the ousted board members who were 'self willed'.

  if you ask an ex-jw, they'll say it was a 'power grab' by rutherford.

  the latest yearbook elaborates on the situation:.

  It is the classic story of power struggle. The founder dies. Successors clamor to seize control. History is written by the victors.

  Not one visit, 8 years in a nursing home, and not one visit!

  my dad{rip}, was a faithful jw since the year i was born, i'm 60, he died 2 years ago.

  his last 12 years were spent in an assisted living/nursing home right in the small town where he spent the last 8 years of being an elder/pioneer.

  when he went into the home, one brother would visit him regularly, but after 4 years, that friend moved away, and visitation from the locals ceased, for 8 years!!!!!!!

  I noticed this with my own grandparents. A few did come to visit, but by in large, out of sight, out of mind.

  There is a NEW Songbook?!

  by My Name is of No Consequence in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am not talking about the one that the org came out with in 2010. i am talking about a new one that just came out.

  it is completely different or is it just the 135 songs from the 2010 songbook plus the 16 that they have rolled out since then?

  my head is spinning!.

  It is unusual because the brown songbook seemed to be around for decades.

  I wonder if this is the reason why the new song book was replaced:

  That and David Splane fancies himself a maestro.

  My opinion: they are too stressed and busy and there are bigger fish to fry.

  2. beliefs

  i have had a conversation this evening with a jw friend i have known since childhood.

  he is of the opinion that armageddon will have come and gone within the next 5 years.

  are the jws now pinpointing 2020 as the supposed year?

  In the mind of many JWs, it's always sometime in the next five years. This five years perpetually rolls forward and 40 years passes without them remembering this.

  Why not just print the whole quote?

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in next weeks bible study session for the cult, it says of a march 15, 1926 watchtower, “the faithful will be volunteers .

  to tell this message to the people.” so i got to wondering what the ... was all about.

  so i happened to have that watchtower, and this is what it actually says.. “the faithful will be volunteers in the day of god's wrath to tell this message to the people.” .
