  What is now the most accurate Bible to buy??

  by WingCommander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now that i've read ray franz's part about how his uncle and others with little actual greek or hebrew training translated the bible into the nwt, i've been interested in finding the best bible out there is correctly translated by people who know what the hell they are talking about.

  niv?

  i've also been looking at other religions lately, ones that are "somewhat" close to the jw's teachings to an extent, and have been interested in seventh day adventists.

  I agree with many of the other who stated that comparing several different translations will help you best gain the context and meaning of the verses. I very much enjoy using: The Life Application Bible, The Living Bible from Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. The one I use, uses Jehovah's name extensively in the Old Testment or Hebrew scriptures.

  My Story

  by XJW4EVR in

  2. experiences

  i was adopted into a jw family in southern california.

  my birth mother gave me up after 6 months (the terms mom & dad refer to my adoptive/real parents).

  she gave me up due to the fact that she already had a three year old boy, and back in the late sixties it was not as socially acceptable to be a single mother.

  " (1 corinthians 10:16) in what way do those partaking of the wine `share in the blood of the christ'?

  Just continue to send a brief note every four weeks saying you would like to be reinstated. This continues to put the onious on them to respond. This is crude but true.

  his faithful servants--only jws, not "so-called" christians.

  7 a second point that we can draw from peter's words is that jehovah is patient because he desires all to attain to repentance.

  "consider the patience of our lord as salvation," wrote peter to fellow christians.

  This discussion reminds me of a movie a recently watched called "Crash". It deals with cultural indfferences, prefudices and how it impacts all our lives. It's raw and gripping and worth the view. The core message is the consequences of intolerance.
