  My Story, in verse

  by dedpoet in

  2. experiences

  this is my 1000th post, (light sabre required now), and as i've never told my story on this forum i though i'd do it now.

  as some of you may be aware, i write poetry, and some even think i'm talented, so i decided to write it down in verse.

  it's very much a work in progress, i haven't finished it yet, but here's part one:.

  i am one of the fortunate ones whose father was an elder ...note was....but defied all odds and sent me to university.

  The New World Translation is a Mess

  by Amazing in

  1. jw

  the new world translation (nwt) contains thousands of serious errors.

  the following regarding john 1:1, one of the most noteworthy verses to jehovah's witness and ex-jehovah's witnesses alike, provides a case example of how and why the nwt cannot be trusted.

  there some few scholars that translate the word was "a god" or "a god" or "divine" but they are in the very low percentages.. in greek john 1:1 says: "en arche en ho logos, kai ho logos en pros ton theon, kai theos en ho logos.

  Since I'm on this subject : when God said Christ/Logo is my posterity ... it could all makes senses this way
  
  = what leads God before (OT) immature somehow / What leads God's will after (NT) mature = Christ

  Now what if as essence your spirit have a conscience which leads your evolution by experience (your conscience talks to you but it's you ...).

  Then from that who's your daddy? ... your conscience --- so I mean it could say that : The God in God is the Word (Logo) but still all in one.

  Revelling in not believing

  2. beliefs

  ok i've been thinking about posting this for a while.

  i'd really love to see what people think, there might even be people who think the same thing.. as jw's we got every single little thing rammed down our throats right?

  so, we had set beliefs or answers for everything- does god exist?, are there aliens?

  DON'T YOU LIKE THEM ?

  by RAF in

  who likes (so called) perfect people?

  anyway i don't think i've met any unless on a short time enough for those to fake it.. ok we have or had got a mom, a dad, sisters and brothesr, friends, collegues even some people that we are not even really connected to ... but we dont care their defects?

  not that we accepte them and do not react to them but we still love those people.. for instance : my favorite sister (if i can say something like that) is the one which is the most terrible !!!

  I see what you mean LeslieV ... (since they are not excessivly mean ...)
  
  Sometimes when you know that a lot of people do not like them because of those behaviors (if you feel that they suffer about not being appreciated), you want to tell them. When you do they acknoledge but don't really change I guess it's because they are not ready to (they can't because of some psychological issue), or just because it is their personality at the moment.

  For instance : My favorite sister (If I can say something like that) is the one which is the most terrible !!! LOL : she's very nervous a little thing can become a BIG DEAL, she's yelling in your face, she's always right (even if she is wrong she won't give up - Never) you have to shut up , I wouldn't stay with her more than a week without trying to suicide if I can't leave ... ...

  But she is so sensitive at the same time on so many things, she's taking care of people in need, she is the one who will put herself in the front to protect someone else, she always have good tips, she's so funy also, I mean you can't have everything.

  So who is the one or the ones which whatever big default (which ones?) they've got you still like him/her no matter what and why?... (you don't have to name them as who they are for you - you can even lie on this detail), it is just to know what kind of defects and why you love them anyway.
