Following up on the research for family.
by truthseekers2 inwell, we put together two more emails to send to hubby's family following up the ones about whether the witnesses are encouraged to do independant research and whether they claim to be prophets.
we haven't heard a thing from his sister, but his mom wrote back a quick note to say she and dad are going to reply, but just need the time to put it all together.
she also said they still do not doubt it's "the truth.

Almost a copy?
by Gig indo i understand correctly that the wts secured the copyright to jb rotherham's bible translation and that is what they copied for their nwt?
franz knew some hebrew, and some greek, but in my guesstimation nowhere near enough to produce the nwt.
so is this where it basically came from... copied then changed to include their doctrinally biased alterations?.

Time travel- if you could...would you?
by freedom96 ini was recently looking at a picture that showed my city almost a hundred years ago.
i started trying to imagine the scene, but in color, and what it would have been like.. they say if time travel was possible, you must be careful, for what you do could alter the future.. though i know it is not possible, i think it would be fantastic to do so.. so, would you do it if you could?
what time era would you go to?.

Encouraged to do independant research? (& m...
by truthseekers2 ini wanted to share these two emails that we sent last night to hubby's family members that are sincerely trying to understand what has made hubby and i resolved in our new stand.
if anyone can use these to help their family members and/or friends, it would be my pleasure to see you cut, paste, and send them!
most of the info was gathered from the quotes site, although i went into my cd and library to read every article and quote before using them.

Do You Feel Better Since You Stopped Meetings?
by minimus inso many witnesses have been ill. i'm not talking about the flu or a cold, either.
many witnesses suffered from ailments that were not necessarily common to most people.
i know of jw's that had to literally run out of the meetings every week because they said they were allergic to perfumes and different scents.

Is the GB and FDS the same thing?
by William Penwell inthis may have come up before in discussion so my apologies if it old stuff.
interesting point that the district overseer seemed to make a distinction between the governing body and the faithful and discreet slave class.
when i was growing up it was always the same thing.
