  You can count any comment you leave on any post I make as an RV if that will help.
  But,
  Make sure there are no other strings attached to the car once you get it. I had friends who had their vehicles yanked or weren't allowed to use the car "just for fun" because their hours dropped.

  Quote: It is not necessary for Bible translators to know Hebrew and Greek.

  by Elsewhere in

  2. friends

  i just found some very revealing information in the branch organization manual.. 1. they admit that bible translators do not need to know hebrew or greek.

  2. they admit that the reason the authors' names are omitted is primarily to protect the organization and the authors from liability.. all bold letters are original... i added the yellow highlight and red text.. branch organization manual: page 25-5.

  46. bible translation: when there are sufficient.

  Protects them from what, exactly?
  
  I mean if they are translating faithfully, then what's the problem?
  
  Oh, I get it now...

  What has been your response with telling "devout" JW's about the UN scandal

  2. scandals

  i was talking to a elderly jw's lady at the donut shop the other day and i brought up the un and the wt scandal.

  this woman told me that i was lying and that jw's leaders would never be apart of a "satanic" org as the un.

  she said that "apostates" are spreading vivious lies about jw's and are only telling half truths.

  I really don't have any contact with any Dubs since I left so it remains a non-issue in my life.

  so i turn to the great minds of jwd to rescue me!

  why on earth does the word "penultimate" exist?

  I have learned a new word. Dave, I love you.
  
  But to be back on topic, I believe the word, "penultimate" exists only for public speakers, politicians, and pundits to misuse when referring to the most or to the extreme.

  In Jehovah as presented in the WT literature, no...
  
  That being said, I think there is a crative force out there, but is not really concerned with what goes on here among humans.

  Mark H;
  
  It was a quicker read than most of my recent books.
  
  I'm staring at Your Vigor for Life Appalls Me, a book of Robert Crumb's letters 1958-1977. I want to read it but I am not in the right mental place for it right now.
  
  I might open up An Underground Education by Richard Zacks because it's short pieces on a variety of subjects.
