under74 --
nobodys telling you not to get the book.
Sure it can be frustrating but that's the risk you take when posting or the internet or even e-mailing someone. If you think someone misread what you've written than just write "no, that's not what I meant." And then state what you meant. No offense intended.
All the best to you.

Elder said I could Lie
by Es inlast week my ex husband sent a letter to the elders telling each and every one of them just what he felt about them.
as they were d/f him he figured this was his last chance.
in his letter he stated that as i had scriptural reason for divoce, so did he.

you can lie to me if you like, Im not going to know"
TheEdge --
That's a bit of an ambiguous statement. I think (maybe?) you're reading it as an invitation to lie - but he probably just means that no one knows the truth unless they are witness to it, so your word has to be taken.
inquirer -- I suppose it depends on the tone (lol -- sounds like a Seinfeld situation.) The problem with this statement is that it sounds like he's encouraging her to lie. He should be straight and easy to understand!
It's the most stupid statement I have ever heard!!! (lol -- I am sorry I can't stop laughing!) I mean what if I said to my wife: "Do you love me (you can lie to me if you like?") ...I just can't see that happening in real life!!!!! There would be an argument about it. And she would think the relationship wasn't brought up upon truth. This is the key ingredient to any kind of relationship! Business or romantic or something else, you know. -

Sorry, it can be frustrating sometimes when my posts are not read properly. It can really put a "bad spin" on what I originally said/meant.
And if I want to get a particularly book, it's up to me. Goodness me, I may get that "who wrote the Bible" book sometime. It may have some interesting words about it. -

Can it work both ways?
by inquirer inam i allowed to discuss to people why i belief in most of their doctrines still?
because i have noticed people always want me to believe in their stuff, can it work the other way around?
because you should be able to be on a "level playing field.

under74, did you read what I said? I prefer "critical analyse" topics! I didn't say just based on the Bible!!!!! As far as I know, this Raymond Franz is being very critical of the JW's -- and I really want to know what he says!

:But I believe who wrote the Bible are the authors mentioned back in the New World Translation. So maybe I shouldn't get it then.
Huh? You're saying you shouldn't read something because it conflicts with your preconcieved notions? That attitude will take you far! :rolls eyes:

For crying out allowed! I don't have to get something if I don't believe it! I've already made up my mind about that kinda thing!
I am starting to notice, people on this message board are trying to dictate my beliefs! I've never dictated on this message board -- not even once! I've always respected other people's opinions, even though at times I don't agree with them!
I hope I can get people to agree with what I mean with what beliefs I accept, because people are trying to get me to take away all my beliefs! I don't mind, but I hope it works "the other way round," and have people look down on me.
It's just rotten eggs at the moment. :( -

If you had something reasonable to say! I would! :D ha ha ha
WAIT! I am not having a go at you I am just being hypothetical about it all alright! Honest! I am not angry at you, just having a discussion, alright?
You said: "People like me think they are false. But they are written in a "God wrote this" style. aka - a religious holy book!
the bible is written in the same style. where's the difference?"
Inquirer: You have to decide what is holy or what isn't. I said in the other post that philosophy is just a man thing, so how can it be from God? People that wrote those Apocryphal books knew that they weren't from God. They were just giving their opinion. It's more clear cut with Buddha writings.
You can think anything is false, no worries ok? -

And what's that other book, that one about who wrote the Bible or something? Yeah, might get that too. Someone recommended someone like me should get that book after. Maybe I will or won't. But I believe who wrote the Bible are the authors mentioned back in the New World Translation. So maybe I shouldn't get it then.
I prefer "critical analyse" topics.
