Sin City was great. It is already #96 on IMDB's Top 250.
My two favorite parts where the 1911 slide to the head and the prostitutes with lots of guns. -

The NWT. It has the most accredited and scholarly translators. Absolutely no scripture was changed.

The Watchtower, Scholar and Misrepresentation of Source References
by AlanF inour resident pretend-jw-scholar who calls himself "scholar" enjoys justifying lying and misrepresentation by the watchtower society and himself.
the society, out of one side of its collective mouth, recommends not misrepresenting source references, yet out of the other side, goes ahead and does so without hesitation whenever it is convenient.
the society understands that unfair quoting is dishonest.

Typing How to Quote A Book Source returns these hits. It returns a link to The ABC's of Referencing.
I remember when we learned how to reference a book in school. I had never seen this due to the fact that I had spent my youth only reading WT publications. With the exception of the Creator book, I have seen only a handful of times where the WT references a book properly (as mentioned in the above link). The thread has already given plenty of evidence showing how the Watchtower doesn't properly quote. How about some direct and unedited quotes that show how the WT quotes properly (Creator book excluded). -

How can you just let go?
by squeaky inmy boyfriend (on/off 5yrs) has been in and out of this religion since we met 10yrs ago.
right now, he is back on.
it's hard for me to cope with his switching back and forth.

When someone is in a high control group like JW's, the previous relationships go out the window, this includes any friendship or even blood relations. JW's stress not having a personal relationship with "worldly" people or anyone who is not a JW.

Daniel's Prophecy, 605 BCE or 624 BCE?
by Little Bo Peep inhello all, i've been reading your site for a couple of years now, and have found, for the most part, it to be very helpful.
i must say, at first i was very "scared" at what i might find, but contrary to what i grew up learning, there is a "wealth" of information outside of the watchtower organization.
i haven't attended meetings for about two years now, and like many i've read about, have spent many hours researching, telling myself "i'm not wrong for searching", and doing more research.

I for one would like a very, very detailed post/thread from Scholar where he consolodates the Babylonian and Israelite kings reignal years and gives an expanation of the Watchtower's dates. Each one these would be supported by a direct quote from the Watchtower or the Bible. No more vague I'm right because I say I'm right and the Watchtower is right because it says its right.

Some people need to be told what to do in their lives otherwise they can't make the proper decisions (i.e. drug habit). They turn to controlling places like JWs to tell them what to do.

The term "disassociation" applies to the action taken by a person who, although a baptized member of the congregation, deliberately repudiates his Christian standing, rejecting the congregation by his actions or by stating that he no longer wants to be recognized as or known as one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Reading this sort of crap makes me glad I am gone/fading. Is anyone else planning on fading any differently? If another JW sees you doing something, how far are they going to go with "rejecting the congregation by his actions"?
