continued from part 1 (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5097191899136000/john-1-1-colossians-1-16-all-other-things):.
the nw translation and some of its unique renderings, like john 1.1- "a god," and colossians 1.16 - "all other things," have been consistently at the top of the most debated topics here in this forum and elsewhere from the beginning.
the anger felt by detractors of the nwt rendering of john 1.1 (a god) has diminished considerably if compared to the furious debates surrounding the verse that raged on during the 1950 thru 1970s.
The problem with adding "other" in Colossians is that it contradicts all other scriptures saying that ALL things where created by Jesus. So Jesus could not create himself could he ?
Cf. John 1:2; 1:10; 1 Co 8:6; Heb 1:2
In all these verses there is no "other".
If everything was created by Jesus then Jesus was not created. As simple as that...

just having a quick read through, the findings are damning.
mr toole is being reported to the law society of australia.... a few highlights so far:.
Wow !
Very good !
just let me say, i hate the gray bible.
when i read the revision of mal 3:10 and they included tithing, i almost vomited.
recently though, my invalid mother asked me to read to her and the only thing available was the gray bible.
Cross reference between 1 Thess 4:15-17 and Matthew 24:29-31 has also disappeared... To hide that the "parousia" is a future event and has not happened in 1914
at the australian royal commission (yes, that again), watchtower rock star pope, his holiness wacko jacko was asked by angus (my new hero) stewart the following:.
angus stewart q. and do you see yourselves as jehovah god's spokespeople on earth?
his holiness replied: a. that i think, would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that god is using.
Maybe the pope François ??
a little taste for everyone who could not watch the hearing live .

the rest is coming soon!.
Thanks for sharing !
jw.org changed point number 4 excluding the idea of child molesting.
coments please.
Hello,
Hard to believe to me since there is no history of this page on the internet nor screenshots. In French there is a history available but no modification has been made recently (child abuse is not and has never been mentioned)
for me, there have always been special movies or scenes in movies that trigger my old jw experience (fiddler on the roof and little mermaid touched me deeply when i watched them as a young jw).
later as a survivor, it was more donnie darko, thx 1138 themes that struck me in particular.. anyway, looking for suggestions on great movies, books (art of any kind, really) that especially speak to or move you as a jw survivor?
there are reasons beyond purely entertainment that i ask..
as has been observed in western congos, the decline is real.. usa is 12.475 % less -2015 vs 2014.
It's in the october kingdom ministry
thanks to jw archive wiki we have a pdf of the new elders book.. https://www.dropbox.com/s/mz9z38909t3fh7c/2012-shepherd-the-flock-of-god-ks10_e.pdf?dl=0.
What ????
Discourse entitled "Jesus Christ, world conqueror" ??? Is it a joke ??
For God did not send his Son into the world for him to judge the world, but for the world to be saved through him. - John 3:17
So wrong answer lol The answer should have been : "to save the world"
