Found a new difference between the old NWT and the new one...

by ILoveTTATT2 in

yesterday i read jeremiah 8-11 because that's what was studied in the clam.

i am in a different city and decided to go to the meeting to check it out and possibly ask the witnesses some questions and see how they treat a "newcomer".anyways...nwt, 1984 version:.

(jeremiah 10:13) 13 at [his] voice there is a giving by him of a turmoil of waters in the heavens, and he causes vapors to ascend from the extremity of the earth.

The correct translation of specific words in the Bible can drastically affect modern English language. For example: if secular society accepted the NWT 1984 version then we have "fruit" in the garden of Eden and "sluices" in the book of Jeremiah. Fortunately the world rejected the NWT 1984 translation and its grammar.

It's only recently, and only after the JWs switched to following digital tablets for the law, and not stone tablets, that they too dropped the use of the NWT 1984 translation in favor of a modern upgrade.

Imagine calling the below pictured product a Fruit Sluice cable instead of an Apple Lightning cable.

Spain: Jehovah's Witnesses wants to silent a one-million-euro entrepreneurial hole

by sp74bb in

source: http://cronicaglobal.elespanol.com/vida/testigos-jehova-agujero-empresarial-galicia_69908_102.html.

jehovah's witnesses asked to hide a one-million-euro entrepreneurial hole at a northern spain supply firm.

the cult appealed to the "peace" of the congregation to pressure the co-owners of the firm and prevent them from reporting the case to ordinary justice.. the case concerns a well-known construction supplies company based in a large northern city.

I wonder if the one million Euros, or the equivelent, somwhow found its way into the Watchtower accounts or construction sites.

freddo - Spinks and O'Brien are spiritual Eunuchs.

Well they definately don't have the balls needed to stand up and testify as to what the Watchtower really teaches and what the JWs are ordered to believe.

This was highlighted in their public questioning by Angus the Arc Angel.

What are some things JWs re-name to make themselves different than Christians?

by NikL in

jw
friends

jws re-name things so they seem like they are different than other religions.

(of course we know they are different but that's another story).

i was just thinking about those things where they are like most everyone else in christendom but the re-name it to seem different.. for example god forbid they have a church, it's a "kingdom hall".. they don't have pastors and deacons they have "elders" and "ministerial servants".. they don't have tithing but they will have family heads fill out a paper saying how much they can contribute on a monthly basis (not sure if there is a name for that...unless it's tithing.

jwleaks

A friend of mine (worldly person) attended the kingdom hall (church) with me once out of curiosity. During the Watchtower study (indoctrination session) he heard the JW phrase "reaching out" and asked me what it meant. I replied "brown-nosing" and explained that it only applied to brothers (baptized males). During the rest of the meeting my friend paid particular attention to those brothers that had privileges (microphone carrying) and to those brothers who answered the questions read by the Watchtower overseer (religious instructor).

After the meeting ones of these brothers came over to introduce himself and his wife (love bombing) to my friend. After introductions (start the field service time clock) my friend sarcastically said to the brother "It was good to see you reaching out in your church today." The wanna-be ministerial servant (church cleaner) replied: "Thank you. I always try to put Jehovah (Watchtower corporation) first in all things." My friend broke down in laughter.

There are a number of different Watchtower Library versions. What version you are authorized to have access to depends on how high up the Watchtower corporate ladder or JW religious hierarchy you are.

This is going to make for one interesting read and the joining of the dots. Keep in mind Angus Stewart QC often divides up his line of questioning on a specific subject to break the chain of thought of the witness being questioned. Now we just have to put the puzzle together.
