  What is YOUR bible of choice?

  by gloobster in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  although i'm pretty much an atheist, i still like reading the bible.

  it's an amazing literary masterwork to say the least.. my question is, after discovering that the new world translation of the wts was poorly translated and altered in ways designed to support their various peculiar doctrines (see john 1:1, etc.

  ), what bible translation are you all the most fond of?.

  Not all abuse is physical or mental

  Some of the worse is subliminal as is this.

  Poor child

  Tried to fade away

  by Magwitch in

  2. friends

  i left my chauvanistic po elder husband 2 1/2 years ago (after 20 years of marriage - ten of those spent pioneering as a couple).

  i took my two beautiful teenage daughters with me - he did not seem to care too much that we were gone.

  his main concern was the humiliation and aggravation of having to step down as an elder.

  They need no justification

  other than their own

  You did the kind and brave thing

  and they kicked you for it

  It's over

  Your out

  Now the real healing begins

  Don't neglect the pain and anger

  It's part of the process of

  removal from a cult

  Ask and we all will help

  But ultimately you must take the lead

  in the healing process

  I feel for you!

  Been through a divorce

  Shortly thereafter I left the borg

  Shortly thereafter met someone new

  Horrible experience all the way around

  It's not easy

  No shortcuts

  Take it slow

  Get an attorney

  Stay relatively sober - that never really helps

  Trust me on that

  If you choose to have a spiritual side

  Might I recommend some reading material.

  Order "In Search of Christian freedom"

  by Ray Franz, former JW Governing Body Member.

  Additionally, read "Crisis of Conscience".

  In my view and contrary to JW teachings, being a Christian is

  not something that requires any type of religious affiliation.

  What it does require us to do though

  is to think.

  OK

  Time to fess up

  The Quote stated

  is from a work of fiction "Otherland"

  It deals with a future time Internet

  It is simply a statment made by

  one of the main characters and

  actually has no real life context

  outside the bounds of a work of fiction

  There have been some interesting comments

  made though.

  Just goes to show, even a simple

  assembly of words can create a variety

  of emotions and thoughts

  Yea, I know I can be an As*h*le - <grin>

  Why should John Doe have all the fun

  seems to say that all we can hope to find are patterns in things.

  But if that is true, why is one way of explaining a pattern worse than others.
