i was going through a few websites and isolating text of the 'deuteronimist history' for my channel on youtube today when i opened a tab to jw.org to see if they had actually dome anything in a few days.

to my surprise up popped the new bibles.. no for many year the only one they had was nwt 1984 and as of 2 years ago the rnwt with audio coming in slowly.

(the guys that do ezra are crap and lett ruins mark) a week or two ago they started adding a study bible starting with matthew.

Mad: I never knew that. I only ever saw the NWT at the Kingdom hall (Except for the library.) I was born in 78 so probably too late

Doug: Friedman tried. He really did. He identified the Yahwist and general duteronomists. I know there are two layers of duteronomist editing. Also Priestly editing finalized it all. I'm working on the earliest version at the moment. (I have already done the Elohist)

Well NOW:

The KJV <<< This will give JWS a shock. The New Testament of this version is very different

The ASV<< Yeah the NWT used this as a base test as does the copyright free WEB. I personaly find it 'basic'

The Bible in Living English <<< Okay I will admist I like this one since it was rare and the WBTS used to be the only publisher (They didn;t translate it)

Ok.....

Why?

What is the point. They did this already on the JW app along with the Kingdom Interlinier 85. Wont this make serious witness bible students find out the NWT is garbage?

Won't younger JWs reading the KJV come up using words like : piss bastard, damn, hell, sodomite?

Debating evolution, intelligent design and cosmology with a JW

by Thestumbler83 in

ive been having an email exchange with a jw family member and the discussion seem to have become a bit heated and im not quite sure why.

i dont think ive said anything obviously offensive and ive been very careful with my wording.

but i think im sometimes a bit tone deaf with these things.

NWT is soooo inaccurate....

by iwasblind in

hi this is for the lurkers.. please start reading from another translation and use tools like www.biblehub.com to verify the differences you find.. biblehub has an interlinear and a strongs concordance and heaps of dictionaries and commentaries.. you don't have to be a translator but you can clearly see how the watchtower bible and tract society has changed the bible to devalue jesus, to support their idea of a paradise earth hope for christians and many other false doctrines.. i could never understand why the jw's where attacked when they chose to translate the bible - now i know.. seriously people, there are a lot smarter people than me on this forum and heaps of research.

.

don't be afraid of the truth!.

Several myths here:

1. The NWT is NOT the only bible to use yhwh in the NT.

Compare:

The Scriptures 1998

Messianic Israel Standerd Bible

American English Bible 2001

Although a valid point is that the name YHWH does not occur in any of the manuscripts we have. In fact Paul's letters first turn up in a gnostic religion called Marcionism which said YHWH was not Jesus father.

2. The NWT is the only bible I know to read Job 6:6 the way it does.

3. The insertation of 'other' in the NT from 1950 to 2006 had brackets and one could see it was not in the original text. (Removed in the RNWT 2013 and NWT 2006)

4. "At the end of 1st century there was apprx. 1 million of Christians spread across the whole Roman world."

FALSE!

Maybe a few Ebonites and Jewish Christians but certainly not a million. More like a few thousand,.

Tacitus mention is based on a bad historian he is quoting which is acknowledged by many today.

Africa for the Africans, Asia for the Asians, White Countries for Everyone!

by seahorse321 in

asia for the asians, africa for the africans, white countries for everybody!.

everybody says there is this race problem.

everybody says this race problem will be solved when the third world pours into every white country and only into white countries.. the netherlands and belgium are just as crowded as japan or taiwan, but nobody says japan or taiwan will solve this race problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.. everybody says the final solution to this race problem is for every white country and only white countries to assimilate, i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.. what if i said there was this race problem and this race problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into every black country and only into black countries?.

1. Let me help. This is the 21 century. Although governments are sepertaed into countires Many of them follow the US, China or the EU. The others have their own ideas such as islam or 'give up' (Africa)

2. The original poster is racist and I find this a worse religion then JW.

3. GLOBALIZATION <<< ever heard of it... it's here in 2015. Keep your hollywood movies, rock music etc... all the world sees it.... all the world tries to learn english too. We are becoming globalized.

4. I'm married to an asian woman and have a mixed son... Mixed childern as I will call them are a norm in 50 years if you don't like it... DIE

5. With globalization comes and increese of the standerd of living in places like Africa whre finally people are just now starting to get above 1$ a day. Asia is better. The Americas and Europe are advancing but losing citizens due to fetility issues.

The Vedas - Scientific Knowledge - Prophecy - The Truth?

by LAWHFol in

the vedas are the core sacred texts for the people of the east.

generally the vedas are to the east as the hebrew scriptures are to the west.

supporters of the bible, boast of it's scientific accuracy,prophetic accuracy & general infallibility.

1. There is no such thing as a big bounce. The Universe is aout to enter a state of accelerated expansion.

2. What is Soma? A mythical pant. Yes I read a few Vedas too.

3. The Veda do not teach god but GODS.

Labeling one self "Atheist" is Unscientific

by LAWHFol in

i have not meet all atheists, and it would be foolish for me to assume that all atheists, share the same prototypical view points.

i am inclined to feel that this classifies the views of a large percentage of atheists.

"atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities.

Well suppose I propound to you that there is a teapot in orbit between Mars and Jupiter. I belive it. Now none of our telescopes can see it but I belive it. I tell my children, evangelize Soon millions belive in the teapot and scriptures are written. Then you come along and ask for proof of our teapot. Our proof is faith... after all you can't DISPROVE the teapot....

Replace teapot with god.

BTW Not my idea. This came from a guy named Russel.

New World Translation Versions/Revisions

by PietaHouse in

hi folks.

new here, and growing weary of finding an e-text version of one of the earlier releases of the new world translation.

i have searched high and low, and for some reason, it is as if it does not exist.. i'm catholic, but for research purposes and as a courtesy to jws, i've put the 1984 and the 2013 versions in a database format for e-sword (e-sword.net).

HowTheBibleWasCreated

the 84 and 2013 versions are incroperated into JW Library. It's the 1950-1960 releases that are in six volumes that prove how goofy a translation job they did.
