52Help with understanding
by Doltologist inplease take pity on me someone and help.. i was going to say that i suffer from aspergers syndrome but actually, i've come to rather enjoy it.. no, seriously, i really do have aspergers which is why my posts may seem a little odd to some of you.
ok, they may seem bloody odd to most of you.. my world exists in a binary frame.
things are or they are not.. i know that in the "real world" things might be or might not be as well as are and are not.

Hello Doltologist. I assume you believe in evolution? I think the following article will be interesting for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_origin_of_religions -

Hmm I would like to know more. Maybe I'm too quick to judge, but from the teaser text, it seems to me it's another sad story / life experience as there are so many on this forum and elsewhere? Not to question this book's contents, but what (additional) 'valuable insight' is in this book vs one of the experiences here and elsewhere? -

Doc, I think many elders will seem friendly one-on-one. But when they are together (on a JC e.g.) then a different personality is activated. It's also easy to disagree with other elders in private conversation, as it can be denied easily; "she understood me wrong" or whatever.
As the calling woman tells, this is actually a pattern I have also seen: when one is disfellowshipped, the whole family is effectively disfellowshipped from the congregation. Everyone avoids this family because they don't know how to invite a single member, or go to them etc and just ignore them completely. It's the easiest. Not really a sign of John 13:35 being applied though! Even though WT/JWs like to brag about that.

Revised New World Translation
by FusionTheism ini just wanted to put it out there that i am actually truly impressed by the revised nwt.
i think it's an awesome bible version.. the only issues i have are that it should only have "jehovah" in the new testament when quoting the old, and the alternate translation of john 1:1 in the footnote should be in the main text..

Indeed sir82, and wow! This verse is new to me. Quite a shock.... on the other hand, as far as I know, there is no Mosaic law punishing sex before marriage. It "just" means you're married from that point.
Fusion, I have got a list of over 100 verses which are mistranslated in the NWT, and most likely on purpose... the mistranslation nicely supports WT doctrine, while the original conflicts with it. But when reading the NWT yourself it's very hard to notice them, I also just found them on the internet and saw the fraud after checking them myself.
See for example: http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/worship-jesus.php
