  I have to say that I firmly accept that the JW elders I knew followed the example described in the Bible when they gathered together for their meetings. I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind.

  They copied the Pharisees with their nit-picking to a T.

  after reading a few comments here, i thought it was time for me to get a copy of "the silver sword" for my own occasional research and occult practices.

  so i thought i would see if jw.org would offer a way that i could purchase a printed copy (not digital) of the new world translation.

  as i browsed, it occurred to me that i might also like to have a copy of the... what was it?

  I always thought it was a hoot that the Byington Bible translated John 1:1 as "the Word was God."

  Don't you know that you can read the Byington Bible aka The Bible In Living English directly from the WT website?

  Here's the link for you to do so.

  Printed copies of the RNWT are available inside the Kingdom Halls. Just ask someone who attends to get you one. There's bound to be someone you know who is pimo.

  Its been 2000 years now since Jesus Christianity was Established and now today we have 40000 + Christian sects ?

  emperor constantine might have got the message 17 centuries ago but surely god must by now realize that the mission has failed .?.

  surely he should as he has on past experience in the old testament now approach a world leader of either the usa ,england ,russia ,china ,or the united nations or even israel and make his judgement`s known .?.

  why has he been so quiet all of these years ?

  For each religion there's a starting point and then dogma and beliefs change over time as ideas are revised or culled.

  Jehovah's Witnesses have done this and claimed that it was the light getting brighter through divine revelation.

  However the early Christian Church did the very same thing, to which JWs point their finger at the history and claim that it is evidence of the great apostasy from the teachings of the disciples of Jesus.

  You can't have it both ways. Every person can interpret the Bible as they see fit, declaring "no prophecy springs from private interpretation but as God has moved them by holy spirit" (broad paraphrase). If someone says they disagree then the new church decries that they are going against God and his spirit! Just as the JW Org does.

  The whole thing is a joke. Religions are all man-made.

  just wonderin' if anyone has heard of anything about something big going down in the borg?

  good friend of mine just told me today that he will be attending a 4.5 day elder "training school" all nest week!

  the "special" elder "schools" are usually only 2-3 days.. lots of dumbing down coming?.

  I think it is because they have to sit and watch video presentations whereas in the past elders got up and presented talks. Now it's watch a video, discuss the video, and then see if the conclusions in the room agree with the 2nd part of the video which tells them how to use or interpret the 1st part of the video.

  If you have to do that for each of the chapters in the elder text book. Yawn. 4-5 days easily and usually from 8.00am to 5.00pm.
