If you believe God exists, what are your thoughts on what pleases him most?
by Fernando inour family has come to believe that god really wants each individual to personally and independently seek, find and walk with him - quite apart from what other humans say, think, believe or do.. we believe we were created as semi-autonomous beings.
when our inner compass is recalibrated, and we then self-direct, the outcomes seem best.. when we are instead led by humans, their hierarchies, organisations and ideas, the outcomes on the whole seem unfavourable.
legalism (rules), moralism (a moral code), ethnocentrism (doctrine), and gnosticism (knowledge) may seem meritorious.. yet these do not seem to lead to the deep inner transformation needed.

Most other translations say that 'knowledge will increase.' Why do the WT add the word 'true' to the text of Daniel 12:4, is there a genuinely good reason for translating it this way?

What about the facial expressions on the second guy, is that part of the ASL lanuage? I think that's what made it funny, not so much the wanking gesture.

They'll even wait for you if you've disapeared to the toilet. I remember hidding for the start of meal time to avoid if possible being asked to say the prayer, I really developed a phobia around saying prayers in front of others, it still affects me to this day.

No. It is still expected. Perhaps they are the diet coke of JW's? I always hated being asked to say prayer at mealtime. The family still expect it of me when I visit them, I obige of course, they have yet to discover that I am mentally disassociated from the twoof.

Latest WT: "Facebook = a powerful medicine"??
by cedars inok, i think the writing department has well and truly lost the plot now!.
on page 14 of the august 15th watchtower, there is an extensive section on the perils of the internet, with the caption "do you heed bible-based warnings about the internet?
" in large intimidating letters.

I can't remember the 'Most Important Date of My Life!' Can you?
by Diest ini honestly cant remember the exact date when i was baptized.
it does not bother me one bit.
i didnt have it stamped in that shitty reasoning book/babel that i got at the time, so i guess the only place i could find it would be my cards, which are far away..
