    I don't. It's not that I won't. I just don't

    Funny thing, is I've collected over 100 different Bible versions and translations.

    I had about 5 of them, all New World Translations. They all went into the dumpster. If I ever need one, I can always look up the King James version on the Internet or the New World Translation on the official Watchtower site. Or both: I might be able to find another example of where the New World Translation intentionally tampered with their Bible to fit their doctrines.

    I don't have a bible here, neither do I want one.

    Well, you know, it's over there by the sofa with the code of hammurabi and the epic of gilgamesh - I just can't seem to find the time to pick them up and read them. Maybe later this summer...

    Seriously, spent too much time on the bible while in the org. Absolutely am not going to spend another minute on it.

    Personally no, I had read it many times before but now I no longer feel the need to reread the same things over and over.

    Quoting and memorizing scripture is less important to me now. I don't reread my cars owners guide or the one for my fridge either...

    Yes, every day. Reading the Bible helped get me out of the WT, and gives me strength for every situation in life.

    I was raised Catholic so reading the Bible never had a chance to take hold.

    No,there are way too many interesting relevant things to read...People have used the bible as a reason to inflict so much pain on others that i actualy recoil when i see one...
