i was watching jeopardy yesterday, and the answer was "revised new world translation".
.
the question was "what is the most accurate bible, even more accurate then the one that fred franz and his friends wrote?".

...i might drop in every now and then but i hope you all enjoy life, escape the watchtower(r) and live prosperous lives.. i can't say i contribute much here anyway (and i'm not attention seeking).. i'm just going to get on with life away from the constant reminder of the mistakes i made being a jw zombie drone.. i guess i'm just going to fade.......rather quickly.. of course i didn't need to make any posts here to disappear but i thought it'd be polite and very british to bid you all a fond farewell.. see you all sometime.....maybe.....maybe not.....maybe....... bye!.
ps.
don't pm me as i won't be checking the pms.. .
I am thinking it is almost time for me to do that same. Wish you the best.

i just bought this painting by jess black - i love it.. .
i gave it as a gift to my wife for christmas.. .
currently from houston, tx, but spent most of my life in chicago.
i've never had an opportunity to just get this out... so i apologize for the long-windedness in advance... .
i spent the first 17 years of my life in a jw home, then the real world caught up to me.
Welcome !!
so, now that i am out for good, which bible should i read?
there is no way i will read the wt one..so i still want to have a relationship with god but don't know how to choose a bible.
it is very hard to dewired yourself and ,sometimes i feel that i don't have a relationship with him.the what ifs come and go still.last night i was up all night reading and researching , can't shake off the shock still to know ttatt.
Now that you are free to think for yourself, why not start at the beginning, and research some of the following:
1) What is the bible?
2) Who wrote the bible?
3) How did the bible get from the orginal languages to ours today?
4) How were the books of the bible picked to get in?
5) Who picked the books of the bible? (Did they for sure get the right ones in and the right ones out?)
Please don't just assume that the bible is what the JW's told you it was.

gen 6:7. so jehovah said: i am going to wipe men whom i have created off the surface of the ground, from man to domestic animal, to moving animal and to flying creature of the heavens, because i do regret that i have made them.
8 but noah found favor in the eyes of jehovah.. .
does he still regret making us, or did he change his mind and now he is happy?.
How many people were on the planet during the flood?
What was the % of wicked people to noah's family.
Does Jehovah kill off the human race when the % of wicked peole get up to 99.9% wicked?
Earth's population now about 7,000,000,000 and the good people "jw's" are about 7,780,000 that gives us a 99.89% wicked rate.
We must be getting close.

in just the several months i've been lurking here, i have benefited from many of the posters comments and viewpoints.
this is truly a special place for the unique community that has been created here.. after years of holding off my exit from the org (that may be another post) i recently became officially out (by letter of da), but it was a very difficult process as many of you know.
thankfully, i now have my wife (was also a witness) onboard and we support each other.
Welcome !!
