Saturday, May 23rd - All things belong to you

[SusanB]

Indeed. They totally ignore Revelation 6:11, as if that scripture doesn't apply to them, and maybe it won't for some reason. It's interesting how they accept the good things about the 144,000 (F&DS, anointing, authority) but dismiss the bad things (evil slave, martyrdom).

Just to add to your comment.

Revelation 6:11: “And a white robe was given to each of them, and they were told to rest a little while longer, until the number was filled of their fellow slaves and their brothers who were about to be killed as they had been.”

No daily text commentary today.

Just a quick note: I broke the e-watchman site when adding a back-end plugin. Fixing it will require reinstalling a backup, which will take a few hours since the site has grown quite large.

On another note, as you know, I have produced several dozen AI-generated musical Psalms using the New World Translation for the lyrics. Now, the AI platform I had been using will not allow me to use the NWT. I tried using a Psalm from the American Standard, and Suno accepted it. Apparently, the Watchtower's lawyers have threatened Suno. If they go after SoundCloud or YouTube for hosting the Psalms, they will really tip their hand.

Imagine the hubris of the lawyers in WatchtowerLand laying a copyright claim on God's word. They boast of being the keepers of Jehovah's word, but according to Paul, all things belong to anointed Christians. (1 Cor:21-22) Surely, among all those things that belong to us is the Bible. I appeal to the heavenly Judge to decide who can and cannot use His Bible to glorify Him

Some of those guys at the WT probably spend more time scrolling through apostate sites than "apostates" do.

It occurs to me that you have not been accosted yet by watchtower wolves because the truth cannot be refuted! Can one copyright a lie?

Robert is probably their main target, but it's gotta be "slowly slowly catch a monkey" If the authorities keep on giving in to everything the Watchtower demand, under the guise of "legalities" then when they come for Robert's site it'll just be more of the same as far as the authorities are concerned, just another site "breaking the law" If/when that happens, then Jehovah won't be very happy with the Watchtower, so watch out Watchtower, Jehovah's watching and waiting

What I do not understand is why on earth watchtower would not let its translation of the Bible be freely available? We dealt with this 500 + years ago here resulting in the King James Version at the beginning of the 1600s. It’s why America was founded. Why keep the Bible from the very people it was meant to help?! They used to boast that their earlier translation was the most accurate there was. They must be getting so isolated in their palace that they have lost their reasoning. Mentally Out Positively Sunk. MOPS.

That would look too much like faith in Jehovah, that he can protect his own word.

Maybe its because they want to keep "updating" "deleting" and "adding to" all their stuff? They've already been changing things for a few years now. Maybe, if the "originals" are out there somewhere then it's like "evidence" that the org are changing things. Of course, they'll insist that their new, updated version of the video/Watchtower/Awake/ Book etc is the TRUE original and that its other people that are changing things. But like I said, if they can stop other people downloading from jw.org then the GB is free to do anything they like and insist it's all "original"...
