i agree in a way, the NWT does insert "jehovah" in various places based only on conjecture mostly in the new testament, which seems just a tad bit over emphatic and slightly dishonest to me.

i disagree, with that same argument then all the names in the bible that include part of the tetragrammaton should also not be in the bible. Elijah should then be eliiah or eliyah and jesus should then be Yahsua or something to that extent. The rendering of "Jehovah" may not be the original pronunciation of the "divine" name but any other name or word in the bible is also not pronounced today as it would in ancient times, call me a troll or whatever but i agree with the witnoids on this one :D

ok so i had my first elders meeting the other day with the subject at hand as "bad association" seeing that my parents caught me sneaking out to hang with my "worldly" girlfriend and her friends.

aw man thank you all so much and you know i reread my post and realised that when it comes to the "disfellowshipping" offenses that i've commited so far none of which being anything to dangerous or risky just typical teenage antics. Although they arent anything serious i understand why you warn me and why i do need to watch out. Don't worry i wont ruin my life over just a couple of moments of misguided or even abandoned reasoning. I'll try to keep things fairly mellow for both my sake and for everyone else i knows sake.I don't have much time at the moment to write anymore although i have more to say but i'll peep in after the bookstudy tonight, its snacknight (argh) lucky me :D

RichieRich did show me that thread from last week with yall asking about me and i intended to post but i completely forgot and other things got in the way but i do want to say thank you for being so kind and caring. Ok So i had my first elders meeting the other day with the subject at hand as "bad association" seeing that my parents caught me sneaking out to hang with my "worldly" girlfriend and her friends. But lucky enough for me i covered up my tracks enough to ensure a less incriminating alibi. I called one of my guy friends and told him that i was with and he backs up my story. Well the elders meeting was everything you expected. 1 Corinthians 15:33 and all that. I gave all the right answers to all there questions and made sure not to say anything to raise any other redflags. My dad and i havn't been getting along lately and hes been bent on the fact that i'm caught in some kind of fire. If he only knew the truth..... SO at this point im way past the point of no return, ive commited a number of "disfellowshipping" offenses and oddly enough feel no guilt or shame. Granted what ive done in the last several months is nothing extreme by anyone elses standards but still i guess ive sucessfully freeed my mind of the JW concept. i dont know, maybe ill feel the effects later....who can really say. I do feel some guilt for lying to my parents though, naturally i still love them and i know that in there eyes all they want is the best for me and they honestly think that they have "the truth" and i feel bad on that end seeing them like that because they might feel like they are losing there sun and thats why im trying to keep things pretty mellow and level right now. Im not ready for another major fallout or anytbing and to keep with my plan of a "slow fade" after i move out i gotta play this game carefully. (despite what you may have heard i have not in fact DAed or anything of that nature although a DFing might be in my future if i dont be a little more careful) My own beliefs right now are pretty chaotic and scattered but thats not suprising seeing that im only 17 almost 18 years old, ive kinda come to the realization that i will never really know "the truth" about god and the universe and all that even if such a thing exist, so im fine with sticking with whatever "truth" personally makes sense to me at any given time and allowing that to grow, evolve and develop as i go through life. THats the only way i can rationalize everything at the moment. trying to makes sense out of this whimsical static called life. ill keep you all posted if anything comes up and ill try to keep my visits here less infrequent and spread apart. YOuve all helped me oodles even if you dont realise that Peace nick (myspace.com/darkly_darkly)

HEY wow thanks for the warm "welcome-back" i got that warm and fuzzy feeling again...oh no wait thats just my stomach attempting to digest that chili cheese burrito i had for lunch at taco bell. But seriously though its nice to feel missed. As for the comment i made about opinions, i know they dont have equal weight but i was merely making the point that opinions on philosophical and religious issues shouldnt be scrutinized or demeaned by others. IM well aware that there is some majorly wrong ideas out there and im not rushing over to symoathize with them. OK so you know im excited for the convention this year. Next week actually...geez besides checking out the local JW dating scene in the lobby what is a boy my age to do to occupy myself at such a "spiritual" and "refreshing" event? got any ideas.... Peace nick

Hormones raging through my body and ive done so many "disfellowshipping" offenses recently that its almost embarassing lol no actually i feel no regret ironically enough and havn't caused any pain for me or any otheres. I've begun to realise that "truth" is just a blanket word for what makes sense to you. It's a constantly shifting and changing abstract concept that one develops over the course of there life based upon personal experinces and "revelations" but definately not blindly having faith in something just because someone tells you its so. Everyone has opinions so why should any of them be right or wrong? Right and wrong are just cultural concepts right? OK enough of this it sounds like im posting some kind of blog. But i just wanted to kinda show yal that im still alive and kicking....constantly thinking and analyzing and always evolving. Im in a fairly clear headed state right now, one of those rare occasions that i can just look at my life without blinders and really see it as it is. SO, i got a laptop so now i can come here with relative ease. WHich is realy nice. Ive been lurking around here for about a week now but i decided to post today because richierich felt i needed to haha.....okiedokie
