  Society's viewpoint of other bibles

  by Zico in

  i like this quote, from page 145 of theocratic ministry school book about using other bibles.

  'you must realize, however, that some bible translators have taken liberties with god's word.

  their renderings may not conform in all respects to what was in the original bible languages.

  do you agree with this statement by the org?

  this was taken off the jw-media website

  conscience

  jehovah's witnesses avoid making rules and regulations beyond those provided in the scriptures, and they do not follow traditions that contradict bible teachings.

  ...and they have many books to put that rubbish in! That is so laughable. Whoever prepared that statement must be deluded or misrepresenting the Borg on purpose!

  That is a joke, surely? I can think of, maybe a dozen rules that has no scriptural base right now!!!

  i was raised "in the faith" for most of my life.

  my mother married an elder when i was 1 1/2 years old.

  he came from a family of pedophiles (also jw's) and i was a pet project.

  I love this saying. Women are like tea bags, you only know how strong they are when you drop them in hot water!

  I hope this forum will help you on your journey to recovery.

  You know what I think? The scotsman is just having a bit of fun. You can't really blame the guy, imagine having to sit thru those JW meetings. The boy has to get his fun somewhere and he thought he'd come and toy with us.

  Shame on you little boy. Go and play somewhere else. Let the big people get on with it, come back when you're all grown up.

  Please read John 14:6, read it? good....now tell me where do your read that an organisation is the"truth". The bible clearly tells you that Jesus is the truth. What an insult to God, how presumptuous to say that you are "in the truth". Does that mean that you are "in Jesus".

  What is a nice little JW doing on this site??

  I know that you want to get your point across, but don't underrstemate the power that the WTS has on the JW's. I have found that you just can't reason with them. Most of my friends and family are so scared of listening to anything that proves them wrong that they just switch off when you start talking. They are scared of losing their friends and family and also as being labled an apostate. Have your say but don't be too disappointed if they don't see the "light"
