  I stand corrected. I didn't know about the textual variants.

  I confirmed what slimboyfat said here:

  As an Ex JW now, how would you react if you met your Bible study conductor?

  by EverApostate in

  2. experiences

  i was a jw for 11 years , came to know ttatt and wrote my disassociation letter 5 years ago.

  since then i had been an atheist and trying all i can to spread awareness for “still in” members.

  my wife and mom are still jws and i do get along with them perfectly.

  As the third generation JW on both sides of the family, I didn't really have a study conductor. My parents sporadically had a family study which was essentially the Watchtower lesson for that week, but often included me when studying with other people who got dunked (in the end which had the same effect).

  Why does this forum tolerate Cold steele and his mormonism beliefs ? Who`s next ?

  by smiddy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i thought this forum was for people who were ex jw`s and pro jw`s and the like to debate ,discuss and reasonably talk about our differences ,and sometimes drift off into politics world events and whatever.. however over a period of time i have come across cold steel `s many posts which are nothing more than promoting his mormon religions point of view./beliefs what has that got to do with jehovahs witnesses and the concerns many have with the jw religion.?.

  it seems to me he is using this forum to promote his religion and is getting away with it over a long period of time.. how long before other cult religions see this as a springboard for promoting their own religion such as .

  sda`s ,christian scientists , christadelphians ,beroean bible students ,etc.etc.. where will it end if he is able to keep doing this ?.

  I don't feel threatened by his beliefs or his posts.

  I believe a calm discussion and gentle questioning that wins the day in the long run. And if a person from another cult or fundamentalist group goes off the rails, it can only be a red flag for all onlookers.

  NWT is very biased, especially on the verses that touch of the divinity of Jesus.

  But then again, on this verse, I think the ESV is biased here. In the Greek, the word is "Kyrios", that is Lord, not Jesus. Of course, this might be what the writer of Jude had in mind as by the time of this writing, Jesus being fully divine was a widespread teaching.

  Unfortunately, it is not a very literal translation of this verse.

  Can someone translate?

  To give an idea of my ignorance of law, I've no idea what a "summary judgement" is.

  How Knowledge is Dissipated in Talks

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  londo111 » each congregation has a “talk coordinator”.

  talk coordinators will coordinate with other talk coordinators in order to find speakers to give the public talk on sunday.

  typically, they come from the general area: the circuit or a nearby circuit.

  I wish this forum was more welcoming to those of different backgrounds, no matter the reason for their visit here. Antagonism can only alienate and is not helpful to anyone.

  Legalities around summarising Ray Franz's book 'Crisis of Conscience'

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  2. suggestions

  just looking for some advice.

  i know there has been a lot of discussion around the book 'crisis of conscience' and copyright infringement on this forum.

  hence the reason for my question.. in 2004, i couldn't believe my luck in finding this book in the city library.

  A whole another can of worms...which is why this book should go into the public domain.

  JUNE 2017 Watchtower - Lost a loved one? Go out in service!

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  apparently going to the kingdom hall and getting out in the door to door ministry is the best way to get over the loss of a loved one.

  who'dve thunk it?.

  Perhaps busywork can divert one's mind.

  But then, "field service", especially pioneering, can be stressful and embarrassing, and allot of work with nothing to show for it.
