Bible Translation Shenanigans

by Perry in

by jack l. green.

the bible clearly and unmistakably teaches that the lord jesus christ is jehovah god.

the cult known as "jehovah witnesses" deny that jesus is jehovah, thus revealing that they are anti-christ.. not only have the "jehovah witnesses" tampered with the context of hundreds of scriptures, but now they have brazenly moved into the bible translation field.. their reason for doing this?

The only TEST allowed. . .is the test of LOYALTY in others

by Terry in

what you are not permitted to see, examine, test or question is where the magician hides his deceptions so the magic may be passed off as real.. tyranny commences with certain assumptions which are not only unchallenged, but which may not be allowed a challenge.. these assumptions become, in effect, articles of faith on the one hand, and tests of loyalty on the other.. accepting the untested leads to magic-thinking.. .

in italy during world war ii, the fascist leader mussolini was said to be "always right.

" the brutish dictator magically knew somehow.. no counter-examples were permitted to be printed, spoken, discussed or debated without immediate punishments.. in japan, the emperor was said to actually be a god.

Nice one terry , I don't read all of your posts cos I'm lazy, but this one stands out to me.. Good work sir!

Prepare for meetings??

by Jen1 in

do you prepare for meetings?

if i go i spend a few minutes underlinging my books/watchtower.. i have noticed that those who do the micks especially notice when your stuff is not underlined, and comments are made after the meeting, not so gentle hints, about study and preperation!

in other words i am being told off, its usually the ones who are highly critical of everything i do, sometimes their whole family seems to be straining to see if my stuff is underlined, i know this because i heard the daughter to family wisper her watchtower is not underlined!.

Captain Blithering

Same as you jen, VERY quick underlining session just to keep the prying eyes satisfied .

Except for the july study article in which there was no margin room left unwritten on,with quotes from old wts and questions galore!

Major flub in Slavery Watchtower Study Article

by scotoma in

jw
friends

do you ever wonder if the watchtower writers actually read the context of their key scriptures?.

they seem intent on perpetuating the idea that the jewish law was divine - perfect.. paragraph two asks the question "what would prompt an israelite slave to forfeit his opportunity.

to be free?".

Captain Blithering

Dammit. I picked up on the context of the verse, even showed it to the other half during the WT study, but didn't think of the application... Trapped. No jubilee year for me....

i've stopped believing the watchtower crap a few years ago.

My Story

by Brother Mike in

jw
friends

my story is long, heart stopping, tragic, and puzzling.

since i posted what was said to be my last post, i received a private message which sparked my attention about the watchtower.

immediately i did research, and have found not only proof from outside sources, but the watchtower openly admitting it.

Captain Blithering

Sorry dude.

What ^^they^^ said.

take your time man, make the truth your own. Whatever you find the truth to be.

(if you DO, will you let me know please?!)

DEC 2013 WT Article - Slave for Jehovah - warning: ranting ahead

by ohnightdivine in

jw
friends

this morning's wt study almost made me vomit, stand up, pick up my bag and rush to the door.. of course it never happened.

instead, i was able to make some nice drawings on my tablet and notepad.. if you replace the name jehovah with watchtower, or the governing 8 men, it would really make sense.. what's up with all that nonstop guilt-mongering about education and having a decent job?!.

most people look down on the uneducated, and i remember, when i didn't have a job, nobody cared!.

Captain Blithering

"farting tired" - !!!!! Excellent phrase, one which I plan to use in everyday life from now on!

Ya gotta bear in mind that we're not exposing ourselves to it in any real sense anymore, it's just bouncing off our awakened brains, we have aposta-shields!

I foresee (for me personally) a LONG time yet before I can either quit or convince the missus to quit and I follow (perfect scenario). But apart from the wasted time, I'm not TOOOOO bothered as long as the end justifies the means.

Farting tired of it though..
