What's also interesting is where they decide NOT to translate Kurios into Jehovah.. Philippians 2:11 ..."jesus christ is (lord)(jehovah)(Kurios) to the Glory of God the Father."

NWT inserting Jehovah in the NT (discussing the "J" references)
by AuldSoul ini wrote most of this in response to drew sagan, in a thread that wasn't really about this issue.
when i read back over it, i figured it need a thread of its own.. the first part of the puzzle is in appendix 1d of the nwt reference bible.
they list all "237 places where the name jehovah occurs in the main text of the new world translation of the christian greek scriptures.

If the Apostles "expected" Jesus to return in the first century is that fp?
by booker-t inwhat is the "difference" between what early christians and biblical prophets did in expecting jesus to return in the 1st century and what jw's have done for over 100 years of false expectations?
i am in no way trying to excuse jw's and their false prophecies but why is it so different when born-agains and other christians set a date for something but when it fails no body says one word about it.
but when jw's and mormons do the same thing all hell breaks loose.

Is their a religion that matches our biblical knowledge and experience?
by JH inafter spending years with the witnesses, and the knowledge we have now, is there a religion that matches our biblical knowledge and experience?.
i think that we are way beyond any religion that exists, and that's why we stay out of religion today..

I was never a witness but my involvement has led me away fom religion/church. I'm still a Christian and I miss that kind of fellowship where you discuss things in the light of Christ.

Hi!
by sarahbear76 inso i just registered and i thought i should say something about myself instead of just lurking about.
i'm 21 years old and i left the the jw's when i was 18. i was born into the religion so it's been really hard getting use to things.
my story is pretty complicated and for some safety reasons i can't say to much.

Italian Nun Murdered; Possible Link to Pope's Remarks
by Kenneson inin somalia, gunmen shot to death an italian nun, who worked in a hospital which serves mothers and children.
this came only hours after a leading cleric condemned pope benedict for his remarks on islam and violence.
some think there may be a connection.

Nice Kenneson, I love it when people think no religion is more benefit than religion. Then they find out that more people have been killed by non-religious regimes in the last 80 years than by all religous wars in the history of mankind

correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't get stone for saying you've been around for a long time or for being crazy. Was it not understood by the Jews that what Jesus was saying was a claim to diety?

what do other religions believe about jesus ruling " invisibly"
by candidlynuts inas a jw we believed he was in power after 1914 .
do other religions believe he rules or will rule "invisibly"?.
and if he is in power, what do you think of his job performance so far?.

Most Christians I know don't believe in an invisible return, but rather a visible one. Even the Jehovah's Witnesses believed in a visible return until 1914 flopped...then they changed it years later to an invisible return.

Should Ex-JWs Speak Out?
by girasole inwhen it comes to the jws i used to hold the position, "to each his own.
" i still do in some respects.
i agree that it is most likely futile to try de-convert a die-hard jw.

I think it would be a very good idea for churches to have workshops like Bible study in being able to defense against and answer Cults. Some denominations are better defended than others because of their Bible knowledge.. But I know from personal experience in the Catholic Church that the Bibel isn't read with the same emphasis. Consequently, in my personal experience, I've noticed that the JWs I know were converted from Catholicism.

Is a sexually promiscuous life style linked to depression or insecurity?
by free2beme ini work in an environment at work that is a mix of adult ranging in age from 18-50. there are 300 plus people in the building, and that means you get a lot of soap operas happening from people sleeping with other people's girlfriends, boyfriends and even people cheating on their spouses with people they work with.
among the bunch is a large group of people who spend a lot of time passing themselves around, and sampling many sexual partners.
of the people who i know, i have often found that many do not seem as happy as one might think.

i think it would misguided to say that one causes the other. In my opinion, they are both symptoms of something else and not necessarily related to each other.
