Disney's Haunted House is okay, but Harry Potter rides at Universal Studios are an abomination. I know so many JWs who turn their noses up at Universal Studios because of the Harry Potter rides. It's ridiculous.

We shall dress with modesty (1Tim2:9), why dress like rich lawyers or wealthy financiers?
by Mr Fool inin my point of view, modest clothing is simple and humble.
so why are jw-men dressed like they own a big company or are challangers to the president post?

I've started dressing very modest at the meetings. No more fancy matching suits. No more dress pants. Just some comfy cotton twill, button up cotton shirt, and a tie.

Most Irritating Thing About The Jw's
by integ infor me it is the smugness.
it's their inability and refusal to admit they are wrong....ever...even in the face of irrefutable evidence.
isn't pride a sin?

....and how they don't give a damn about you until they "need" something from you, such as use of your house for field service.

The only reason you would have a #3 talk this week is if you have the CO visit this week. They postpone the Oral Review until next week and do next weeks talks this week if you have the CO visit.

WATCHTOWER HOAXES on the spectrum of mendacity
by Terry inthe word hoax is thought to be derived from the magician's utterance of silly "hocus-pocus" so-called magic incantation.. this is jibberish, of course--a fake latin-sounding phrase mimmicking the priest's words in catholic mass changing wine into the "actual" blood of christ.. yeah.. only a conscious attempt to deceive separates a hoax from an otherwise mistake or urban myth.. according to folklorist jan brunvand, a 'hoax tends to indicate "relatively complex and large-scale fabrications" and includes deceptions that go beyond the merely playful and "cause material loss or harm to the victim".brunvand, jan h. (1998).

In their defense, it is still debated today whether or not aluminum causes cancer. Women are encouraged not to use aluminum cookware when breast feeding. I think the WTS accidentally had some truth to some of their aluminum claims even though they were somewhat out there. All the other quotes, though, show how messed up their minds really were.
"Germs don't cause disease, vibrations do!" lol That's some crazy vibrations.

This sounds exactly like my meeting last night with our CO. Talk about deja' vu. This is my first CO visit since learning TTATT. I have never been so bored in my life. I used to sit on the edge of my seat dissecting his teaching style, lines of reasoning, etc to see how I could imitate him and become a better teacher and speaker. This time, I sat in the back of my seat with a blank stare on my face thinking "This guy is full of it." (That's being polite.)

The new bible did NOT remove the previously [bracked inserted words], it only removed the brackets, so it's even more deceptive..
by EndofMysteries inmany said how they removed the bracketed words, etc.
here is an example, an older bible in exodus 18:16 would say this....."i must make known the decisions of the [true] god and his laws.".
the word "true" is not in the original manuscripts, it's inserted, hence the [ ].

As explained at the AGM, it's supposed to be an idea translation because word for word would be too confusing.
For example, if we tell someone from a different region we are shooting the breeze, they may think we are taking a gun and shooting at thin air when in reality we are just having a relaxed conversation with friends. All languages have their idioms and phrases that say one thing but mean another, or mean something totally different in another part of the world.
So the Society is trying to translate the thoughts and not the words. Unfortunately, this gives them even more room to make changes because everybody and their momma can argue what was meant by certain words 2,000 years ago and no one can prove anything since the original writers are no longer here.MrMustard's explanation is more scriptural, though.
