  NWT is soooo inaccurate....

  by iwasblind in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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

  1. social
  2. current

  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

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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).

  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.

  DOES BELIEF IN THE BIBLE DESTROY ONE'S INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY?

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  based on information to be found at: http://www.csicop.org/si/show/when_dont_the_highly_educated_believe_in_evolution_the_bible_believers_effe/.

  the bible-believers effect.

  those who believe the bible is the word of god (bible believers) and those who dont believe the bible is the word of god (bible nonbelievers) differ in their beliefs that humans evolved from earlier species of animals.

  If we are dealing with the USA I would say yes. 60% of Americans recently said evolution is false.

  Now religion in itself is not bad if we are talking Buddiism, Taoism etc. Christianity however forces you to accept things that simply can be proven false scientifically.

  Inaccurate. 607 was the middle of Jehoakim's reign. Necho II was dominating them. Babylon had not yet invaded.

  People should learn more about the Bible flaws

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have noted that the main problem for those who are seduced by the watchtower society is their ignorance about the bible itself.

  people who believe that the bible is the word of god usually ignore the studies on textual criticism and how scientific criteria forbid absurd stories like that of the global flood.

  so, i strongly believe that students in schools need at least an obligatory course on "the bible" through the point of view of science and the textual criticism.

  I will respond to the original topic:

  That is my goal. I respect the bible and actually love the texts.. but as a secularist... People need to know why it says what it does.

  The WT published several articles in the past dealing with reletivity etc. Yes great....100 years old science today.

  Where are the quantum mechanic articles? Nothing... none... nadda.... My prediction... there never will be...

  Quantum theory undermines EVERYTHING about reality. The WT would be forced to admit Jehovah is an undecided, hopeless juggler. Jesus (Who the WT says created everything as a master worker) would no longer be the 'way' or the 'truth' '. He would be an uncertainty. Not only that this mysterious Holy Spirit would never work anyway.

  I should add there are two newer theories that relate somewhat to quantum mechanics:

  1. The Multi-verse theory (Becoming mainstream in science)

  Jesus died once for all time..... really.... how many times did he die once for all times. How many did did Adam take or not take a fruit.

  2. The Holographic Universe (Not yet mainstream but moving up)

  This theory disproves our very existance and the only possiblity of God is as a Black Hole.

  Do you want to remain in a religion that MUST reject any science done in the last 60 years or so.

  That includes Genetics as well.

  I'm an atheist however I lean towards taoism and quantum mysticism...I'm short Buddism has some great wisdom as well.

  I'm opne to religion IF it's based on wisdom.... not myth... eliminate the myths from the eastern religions and you are left to explore
