  WT June 15th Study Edition

  by dozy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i havent seen any specific comments on the latest jw only watchtower (june 15th) so i offer the following brief notes to support what i perceive to be an increasing trend on obeying the fds & stressing the publications.. things from which we must free .

  par 11: true christians have an obligation to warn members of babylon the great.

  one way they do this is by distributing bibles & related literature published by the fds.

  The NWT - an accurate , easy-to-read translation- available in more & more languages has made it convenient & possible to do so

  Yet it's been nearly 30 years since it was revised! Was it so perfect? Hardly.

  Language changes ~ evolves ~ and so Bible translations are revised to keep up with current language usage.

  But not the NWT it seems. So how is it so "easy to read" ? It could only be easy to read if it were expressed in current usage.

  Faders

  by Awakened at Gilead in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm new to this board but i see many term themselves as faders.

  i may just fade away, but on the other hand, i went ahead and told the elders that i don't believe in the wts garbage anymore.

  1914, fds, al of it, i told them, is "rubbish" (i didn't want to say bs in the kh).

  G'day Awakened! Welcome aboard.

  You must have an interesting story to tell. Perhaps you could share: was it something in missionary life that caused you to "awaken" ?

  Cheers from downunder,

  How about a show of solidarity...

  by Mickey mouse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ...at this year's convention for those who are still in?

  can we come up with a way of doing something which doesn't identify us individually whilst at the same time shows there are others "of us" there?.

  any ideas?.

  anyone want to share their expierences on the clicks that would form in your meetings.

  usually in my meeting they were started by the children of the so called elders.

  freaking hipocrits, and spreading rumors and judging people all the time.
