Sorry brain not working, but when I first saw the word sin on my calculator I laughed and thought you could calculate all the sins you commited! lol until I found out it was a formula you used in triganometry!
Evanescence,

DUSTIN!
you love songwriting? OMG so do I and my songs are dark as well!
we should form a band (we are all over the world though *sigh*) I can sing, songwrite and play guitar! and we can call our band disfellowshipped or something! lol (i'm just off with the fairies I know this is sooo unlikely to happen!)
I'm not a jw or an ex-jw but I write songs related to the organisation, I can read other peoples stories and write songs related.
My type of music I like is rock, gothic rock heavy metal etc. as you can see my fav band is evanescence!
I was also thinking when i'm older to make a movie based on a story of a jw that way we can show the whole world what the organisation do to ppl and they can come into realisation themselves on what their actions cause. (the only problem is it can be a bit controversal) but if I make the movie with 100% honesty thay can't complain if they don't like the movie then they can't complain because its a true story!

The word was a god
by gringojj inwho else supports this translation of john 1:1 besides that johannes greber guy?

They just changed it so they can make people believe the trinity isn't true
- Gen. 1:1-2 - "In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Now the earth proved to be formless and waste and there was darkness upon the surface of [the] watery deep; and God's active force was moving to and fro over the surface of the waters." (New World Translation, Emphasis added) - The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society denies that the Holy Spirit is alive, third person of the Trinity. Therefore, they have changed the correct translation of "...the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters," to say "...and God's active force was moving to and fro over the surface of the waters."
- Zech. 12:10 - In this verse God is speaking and says "And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son" (Zech. 12:10, NASB).
- The Jehovah's Witnesses change the word "me" to "the one" so that it says in their Bible, "...they will look upon the one whom they have pierced..."
Since the Jehovah's Witnesses deny that Jesus is God in flesh, then Zech. 12:10 would present obvious problems--so they changed it.- John 1:1 - They mistranslate the verse as "a god." Again it is because they deny who Jesus is and must change the Bible to make it agree with their theology. The Jehovah's Witness version is this: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god."
- Col. 1:15-17 - The word "other" is inserted 4 times. It is not in the original Greek, nor is it implied. This is a section where Jesus is described as being the creator of all things. Since the Jehovah's Witness organization believes that Jesus is created, they have inserted the word "other" to show that Jesus was before all "other" things, implying that He is created.
- There are two Greek words for "other": heteros, and allos. The first means another of a different kind, and the second means another of the same kind. Neither is used at all in this section of scripture. The Jehovah's Witness have changed the Bible to make it fit their aberrant theology.
- Heb. 1:6 - In this verse they translate the Greek word for worship, proskuneo, as "obeisance." Obeisance is a word that means to honor, show respect, even bow down before someone. Since Jesus, to them, is created, then he cannot be worshiped. They have also done this in other verses concerning Jesus, i.e., Matt. 2:2,11; 14:33; 28:9.
- Heb. 1:8 - This is a verse where God the Father is calling Jesus God: "But about the Son he says, ?Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.'" Since the Jehovah's Witnesses don't agree with that they have changed the Bible, yet again, to agree with their theology. They have translated the verse as "...God is your throne..." The problem with the Jehovah's Witness translation is that this verse is a quote from Psalm 45:6 which, from the Hebrew, can only be translated as "...Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom." To justify their New Testament translation they actually changed the OT verse to agree with their theology, too!
The NWT translation is not a good translation. It has changed the text to suit its own theological bias in many places. http://www.carm.org/jw/nwt.htm

What became of the street work that we were encouraged to do at least so many times a year? What ever became of the wearing of placards and parading in front of churches with loudspeakers, yelling nasty slogans?
There is a jw lady living across the road from my school (catholic school) she did street ministries.
She would stand out the front of her house and start screaming out stuff about Jehovah. One time when I was walking to the office (the office was at the front of the school) she was yelling stuff like "Jehovah Blah blah blah blah Lake of fire blah blah blah blah jehovah blah blah blah and that is the truth!" I walked pass trying my absolute best to keep a straight face! while the other students just cracked up laughing.
The lady approached me once after school and she told me that she does street ministries. She was doing the whole Goat and sheep speech and I just tuned out while she was standing there going blah blah blah blah then she left me alone after a while
The freaky thing is she'd threaten students with a knife! and she also spayed one of my friends with a hose because she refused to buy a bible my poor friend entered the school soaking wet!
The jw lady used to live near one of my friends.
And you know what bright and early in the morning she'd wake up to the jw lady standing in her backyard yelling out about jehovah.
One time when my friend was walking home from the milk bar with her brother the jw lady approached her and wouldn't leave her alone. My friends brother was able to escape and grab their older sister. Their older sister walked up to the jw and said "Look I believed dolphins created us!" woooooo the lady cracked it big time!!!! But they made a run for it though!
street ministries with a nutty Jehovah's witness isn't a good mix!

You can try a restraining order
or move houses and don't tell them where you live, find a jw free environment my neibourhood doesn't get jws! we're lucky!
Or you can do what joy said be nice about it at first and if they persist then get firm with them
When a jw comes to your door yell out to your husband "Name, get my gun!" That would freak them out!
Or look at them in the eye and say "I like pointy objects" I don't know if that would scare them away or encourage them to annoy you.
But you can either get a restraining order or be assertive and tell them to back off or try to freak them out and scare them away!
Bacicly make it clear that your not interested they will leave you alone eventually. get some pit bull terria dogs on your property and train them to bark at the posty and the jehovahs witness!
