Interesting WT Deluge Contradiction I just noticed.
by Jofi_Wofo ini was reviewing some of the evidence the wt proposes for their claim of the bible's scientific accuracy, when i came across this interesting assertion.. the mountains rise and fall, and today’s mountains were once under the ocean.
(psalm 104:6, 8) in contrast, several myths say that the mountains were created in their current form by the gods.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/science-and-the-bible/.
interesting.

Reproof announcement wording.
by Jofi_Wofo inhey, all.
i had an old memory pop into my head today about an oddly worded announcement made by an elder at a meeting back when i was a bible study.
i couldn't find anything in the wol nor on google about it, so i wondered if this was just some rogue one-off, or if this is the way things used to be announced.

Publication 'Simple Swaps'
by Jofi_Wofo inthere are a number of wtb&ts publications that are quite useful in doing research, but would be significantly better if they weren't theologically and self-servingly biased.
i'd like to find more reliable substitutions, especially from scholarly/secular sources, to help me, and others, get a look at the bible from a fresh perspective.
here's a short list of "cool" books i'd like for which id like to find corresponding replacements.. new world translation of the holy scriptures w/references = ?

Challenging the teacher.
by Jofi_Wofo inimagine the case where a student disagrees with his teacher's method, and believes that he knows a better way.
the teacher realizes that if he kicks the student out of the classroom, the other students may begin to wonder if the teacher was hiding something.
to settle the matter once and for all, the teacher gives the student a chance to prove himself.. wisely, the teacher takes a moment to lay down the parameters for the challenge.

Australian Royal Commission question looking back
by Aussie Oz inafter all the attention the royal commission focused on the wt and the damning report that came out, has anything changed at the congregational level or to wt policy?.
i am getting the sense from what i have found that really it accomplished little more than embarrassing the wt and upsetting the jws for a while.. am i wrong in that thought?.
oz.

Observations loosely based on this week's WT.
by Jofi_Wofo ini struggled mightily to stay awake for today's zoom meeting.
at least we have it on saturday morning, so i don't have to dread it for the rest of my lovely weekend.. i suppose you could summarize today's lesson as such- "the annointed are annointed because they say they are annointed, and the annointed are special because god says they are special, and we know that god says what we say god says because we say god says that what we say god says is what god says.".
lord helmet: everybody got that?!.

No more handwashing for JW's
by FedUpJW ini was watching a program prompted by the covid-19 scare about youngsters in kindergarten and first grade being taught how to properly wash their hands to get rid of germs.
they were told that twenty seconds was needed, and that to time it they should sing the "happy birthday" song twice.. well i guess we all know that jw's will never be able to sing that song, so i guess they will have to teach their kids how to "take a stand for da troof" and tell their teachers they cannot was their hands anymore.. just think of all the 'periences they can cook up about caleb got the corona-virus and was oh so sick, but he took a stand against one of those pagan celebration inspired songs, and his teacher and several classmates all asked for watchtowers and studies.
hahahaha!.
