  interesting notes from the first round of district conventions in canada:.

  "you can trust the creator!

  " was said to be prepared uniquely for aboriginals in canada (and north america in general, i guess).. http://metajw.googlepages.com/t82.pdf.

  Thanks metajw for sharing the tract.
  
  
  shopaholic said: So are the aboriginals and native americans going to live somewhere by themselves in the new world or something? Why does their paradise pic not include other ethnic groups? Just an observation.
  
  I was thinking the same thing.

  Hey, I should probably resent that. At least my diapers are clean.

  Yeah, how long do you think it will be before they stop printing the Kingdom Interlinear Translation -- permanently?
  
  That wouldn't surprise me.

  i know, it seems like half of everyone that leaves turns athiest.... but for those of us out there, who figure on still being christian, have you found a translation of the bible that you belive lives "up to par"?

  i'm really trying to research, but there's so many, i wondered if you had any input!.

  thanks!.

  I do a lot of comparing of different versions instead of just sticking to only one.
  
  I enjoy using the old American Standard Version (1901, uses "Jehovah"), New American Standard Version, World English Bible (a modern language update to the old ASV, uses "Yahweh" instead of "Jehovah"), Bible in Living English by Steven T. Byington (published by WT Soc., uses "Jehovah"), KJV occasionally, and Leeser's translation.
  
  Those are the ones I use most. Sometimes for JW research I still use the 1953 and 1961 editions of the New World Translation.

  $00.23 would be a little steep.

  Officially THE most twisted, appalling line of reasoning I've ever heard.

  i've just received the latest digest from the yahoo groups 'jwtalks' there is a post in it by the person who runs it.

  i've heard some bizarre reasoning in my time, but honestly i think this one takes the cake.

  An apology from a JW................................

  by BLISSISIGNORANCE in

  ...................who was a witness at my judicial comm.

  any of you that know me also know i was df'ed because an elder had an outcome in mind, and that was to keep me quiet about a pedophile in the congregation.

  he was partly able to do that by using a sister (friend of mine and also another elder's daughter, who was on my jc)by getting her to incorrectly quote me as slandering the pedo's ms brother to her.

  Why our Bible is the best!

  by nvrgnbk in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  here is an interesting prologue i recently found while perusing bibles at my local christian bookstore.... as the holy scriptures that were meticulously transmitted to our ancient brethren form the basis of our undying faith in the sovereign lord almighty, the importance of their accurate translation is of utmost concern to all of the consecrated.

  tragically, the enemy of our salvation, satan, and his earthly agents have spared no effort in their attempts to adulterate the purest thoughts of the most high.

  the means used were often so subtly insidious that it's only after the passage of centuries that contradictions in renderings and spurious verses have become apparent to the faithful.
