  they've been holed up in the bunker for a number of days and things are getting stressful for the bunker brothers.

  but they keep their spirits up singing that famous kingdom melody by frank sinatra.. the bunker brothers.

  i`m just curious as to whether the corona beer sales have plummeted since this coronavirus has spread in different parts of the world .. it wouldn`t surprise me if sales had a nose dive since this outbreak and just wondered if anybody has any information concerning this ?.

  word association plays a big part in many peoples lives..

  Then again plenty of people had JW mags in their homes and were not associated with JW`s in any way .

  What you saw doesn`t prove anything.

  Millions of people have JW mags in their homes and couldn`t give shit about the religion and that`s a fact.

  GB Letter To Elders In Response To Oxygen Series

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  this letter was put out right when the series aired.

  seems they have "disfellowshipped" reporters pretty much in the eyes of their followers.

  public information desk: as of july 1, 2019, a public information desk (pid) was established to handle communication with news media, academic institutions, and government agencies.

  NWT released in modern Hebrew

  by Wonderment in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  on february 21, 2020, the wt society made the announcement in their website of the release of the new world translation in modern hebrew (hebrew scriptures - "tanakh") in haifa, israel.

  now, the complete nwt is available in modern hebrew.. some time ago, a poster here said that releasing (in theory, i.e.

  ) the hebrew bible in a modern version, such as the nwt, would be irrational.

  My take on why the WTB&TS has,

  On February 21, 2020, the WT Society made the announcement in their website of the release of the New World Translation in modern Hebrew (Hebrew Scriptures - "Tanakh") in Haifa, Israel. Now, the complete NWT is available in modern Hebrew.

  In their delusional thinking that they are the mouthpiece for Jehovah to the world in this time of the end.

  They think they will fulfill the prophecy of Zechariah Ch.8:20-23

  20 ."This is what jehovah of armies has said "it will yet be that peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will come 21. and the inhabitants of one city will certainly go to those of another saying let us earnestly go to those of another saying let us earnestly go to soften the face of jehovah.......

  22. And many peoples and mighty nations will actually come to seek Jehovah of armies in Jerusalem........

  23. This is what Jehovah of of armies has said It will be in those days that ten men out of all the languages of the nations will take hold yes they will actually take hold of the skirt of a man who is a jew saying we will go with you people for we have heard that God is with you people .

  And that my friends is why the WTB&TS have published the whole NWT of the Bible into modern day Hebrew.

  Get your kids away from these people as soon as possible .This is not a harmless religion .they will indoctrinate your kids at any given opportunity.And certainly don`t ever let them take your kids to any meetings.

  Love bombing is a term used and a method to recruit people. Be warned.

  Do your research on this religion as regards family`s destroyed by this cult and a cult is what they are .

  I was one for 32 years before I woke up ,but that`s another story.

  use the search option at the top of this page to get more experiences many here have had.

  I wish you both well ,and take care.

  Languages, Dialects, Accents

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.

  first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.

  red, arrow, break.

  To a JW, everything is a sign that Armageddon is imminent.

  Ain`t that the truth .

  However i don`t think we have heard the last of this yet, it could get a lot worse by the sound of things probably worse than the Ebola scare of a few years ago, seeing its spreading to more countries.
