  Best Bible Translation?

  by mywifeisaJW in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my wife has been a jw for about 10 years (we have been married 15 years).

  over the years i have tried various strategies to deal with this, which i won't go into here...except that i have agreed to "read the bible" with my wife...and i get to pick the translation.. what translation would be best recommended to help highlight the errors of the nwt and jw thinking in general?

  i have seen here that today's english version has been recommended...anything else?

  Well, we've started. I have a stack of Bibles by the bed, but I'm mostly using NIV to start. She, of course, is using NWT. I am reading aloud and following along silently in her version. We started with Matthew..with my travel schedule and other issues, we've only gotten through about 12 chapters. No reference to outside publications.

  So far we haven't had too many bones of contention...(did have some discussion about what Matthew has to say about grounds for divorce and the ability to remarry)

  My plan is to read through the New Testament in order...so any guidance as to what traps are coming? Any areas I should push when we get there?

  My goal is to separate WT teachings from what the Bible really says (or at least seems to say).

  Thanks!

  Thanks for all of your help. I am going to first look at what translations my wife already has (she has many) and see if one of the ones some of you suggested is already there...I like the idea of having multple translations side by side.

  Thanks again!

  Thanks!!!
