anyone have any ideas as to why the nwt renders the latter part of the text "with us is god" while just about every other bible has "god with us"?
Thanks, N. I was thinking about the greek construct lending weight to the NWT rendering, as well as 'El at the end of the name suggesting that God in English occur in the predicate.
BTW, it's been ages since I posted here but I do read the board and I appreciate everyone's posts very much.

now that you don't practice the religion, is it safe to say that you reject everything that you were taught??
?
1) There is no three-headed god.
2) When you die, you're really dead.
3) There is much corruption in the world's political and economic systems.
Not much more remains after that.
katie are you ok?!.
with your new hubby craig coming out of the closet, i am really worried about you!
this must be really hard to take in right now.. onacruse said:"i'm homosexual.
Joanna gave me the same "my phone is going dead" routine last night..............
the first poster that i ever met was philo.. we'd traded a few stories via the site and i realised that we knew some of the same people down in portsmouth.. he was very cagey as to his real identity, but eventually we shared emails and he told me all about himself.
one day, i took hl down to portsmouth to see my daughter who lives there.
i'd mentioned it in a post, that i was going in that direction.
Who here remembers The Liberal M.S. from H2O? I drove to Philly to hang out with him on a weekend in 1997.
Soon after that I spent several weekends hanging out with fjtoth and his church, which was super fun.
Since then i have met and hung out with Harmony, Naeblis, Ashitika, SpiceItUp, and some strange Italian fellow who keeps asking to borrow my webcam.
on hungarian page i read this

If this is so, then how did Firpo Carr manage to become his "spiritual advisor"?
i don't want to piss anybody off with this post so please don't get offended.
my family always goes all out for thanksgiving and x-mas.
part of that going all out means lots of booze.
When I was drinking quite heavily I did it by myself and when I went out. For medical reasons I don't drink anymore. When I go out now and my friends drink I'm quite happy to abstain and keep my senses while watching everyone else get loopy and make fools of themselves.
some of you may remember that my husband suffered heart failure in may and the words "heart transplant" were mentioned often.
he has been in heart rehab (diet and exercise and close monitoring) and meds since then.
last week, he was told that the heart transplant was off the table.
I had open heart surgery last year to replace a valve and trust me, it's NO FUN. You should give yourself credit for his recovery, it's my experience that nobody goes successfully through health related stuff like this alone.
my dreams are not just like "dreams.
" they are like memories to me, and my mind can create something when i sleep with the most vivid colors, feelings, sounds, cold or damp or wet or smothering heat.
it all seems so real to me.
I occasionally get sleep paralysis, so I think I am awake and I get out of bed and do stuff, like normal, until something really weird happens like seeing strange people making dinner in my kitchen. Sometimes I'll go through 5 or 6 events before I completely wake up. In those 5 or 6 events I won't know if I am dreaming or not and I'll slap myself in the face or ask people to pinch me to verify whether I'm conscious or dreaming.
Other times I know for sure I am dreaming and I will closely examine certain things in my dreams like building foundations or a bouquet of flowers and marvel at the intricacy and detail my subconscious is able to create.
One thing I wish I could get over is my feelings of embarrassment in my dreams. There's all kinds of things I'd like to do but I get nervous and anxious. Other times I know I am dreaming and if someone gives me trouble I just snap my fingers and make them disappear.
i think the decision by the judge to force vicki to pay the society's legal fees even though she won the case is just fundamentally unfair.
this lady was hurt by her father and the society obviously did something that at the very, very, least was not helpful in her case.
it would seem to me that if the jws really are the christians they claim to be, that they would not be seeking to send this legal bill to someone who has already been through so much.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the WTS drops whatever leins they could legally place on Vicki's assets and will drop the whole thing. They are much more interested in the legal victory than getting any money from her.
