they must think people are stupid. don't they see that the only "witnessing" they are doing is only in regards to themselves?

i also have 3 kids they are ages 7, 6, and 4. don't get much sleep here. then i thought it would be fun to get a dog for the kids. poor puppy, he's a good dog, but he wakes up every morning at 5 or 6 am. so now that the kids sleep mostly thru the night - i got to get the dog trained to do the same.
i have 2 girls - drama queens and 1 boy - jokester
between hockey, skating and swimming the weekends are booked up - which i don't mind, don't like to be home on the weekends, just glad I don't have to go the the 3 JW meetings a week anymore
of course my mom can't understand how I can have some much time to spend with the kids and thier sports but not for meetings (hehehhe)

Frank,
IMHO when the Bible (or any other book for that matter) says "blah, blah, blah" our experiences/worldviews are going to interpret those words to mean "a", "b", "c" or whatever to us. How can one argue another person's experience or views?
Personally, having been exposed only to the view "trinity is not true" for the last 25 years, seeing bible verses (don't remember which, would have to look it up) that can easily be interpreted as supporting the trinity, I found it fascinating. We all pick and choose which verses best confirm our reality/beliefs.
"to the believer no evidence is necessary, to the non-believer no evidence will suffice: - did I get that right?

Obviously there is no verse that spells it out for you - it is all interpretation after all.

fjtoth: thank you for the background on the diaglott - so basically the Diaglott is just another bible translation "based on the various readings of the Vatican Manuscript 1209". I wish I knew what that meant - is the greek in the Diaglott the word for word greek in the Vatican Manuscript??
JCanon: Having been raised a witness, I am familiar with all the bible verses that do not support the trinity. after having left the witnesses I have become familiar with the bible verses that do support it.

The Society here did not add the "a" before the last "God".
Question - Do you think that this would be proof enough for JWs that the WT has changed the bible?

Green bible 1961
by loosie inis the green bible ( new world translation) special in any way?
did the wtbs make any revisional changes when the black one came out?
why did they discontinue the green one?.
-

lilyflor
I had a copy of the green bible until about a week ago. now I regret throwing it out with the other WT literature. Specifically because in the green version the WTS had john 1:1 without the "a"
there were a couple of other verses as well that they have now changed in the newer version (which also completely changes the meaning of the scripture) but i can't remember what those verses are

Thank you for the link.
Ever since I left the borg, I have experienced how compassionate most people truly are - not at all what we were lead to believe about "wordly" people.
