orgin of my name

i have only been an active member for a couple of days here, or a newbie as we are affectionatley called.

since i have been here though, on a few occasions, i have been asked about my choice of nicname and what it means or why i chose it.

since there is a reason behind it, and in my mind it stands for something, i thought i would share it's orgins with you all.

JSMHR: I totally understand your meaning about what you wrote in this thread. I don't dispute that whatsoever. I feel for you, buddy. Truly, I do. The Society has had a similar effect on me as well. I also understand your use of the name of "Jesus" for what you mean. But, for 'me,' it would be "Satan." I still have good feelings and thoughts and respect about and for the person of Jesus. I just wanted to write this to you and let you know that even though "I" have a difference of opinion about the name you choose, I understand your reason for it and I agree with you. Thereenough said. Blessings, my friend. Inkie

Dear JSMHR: I seriously doubt that Jesus stole your hotrod. It's more like the Adversary or Satan who stole it. Satan using "religion" to steal it with. Maybe a name change might be in order to: Satan stole my hotrod.

Are you marked for life?

.

for those who were witnesses, and passed many years there, do you feel as if you are scarred for life by this experience?.

Inkie

(For me) I don't know if "scarred" is the right word. Certainly, affected, and maybe a few scrapes and bruises. I do think though that it will have "affected" (have an influence on) me for the rest of my life. I don't see how it could not. I was in a long long time.

NWT,and OTHER Translations./ New Offer.

by Blueblades in

the offer for feb.is the new " draw close to god book ",released at the 2002 district convention.the jan.km.

says,"this publication is designed to help people use their own bible to draw close to god.their own bible, not the nwt.. yet the society claims for itself and its translation of the nwt.a peculiar freedom from what they define as "the misleading influence of religious traditions,which have their roots in paganism,they go on to insist that this "influence" has colored the inspired word of god".. so it is necessary for them to set aright the numerous examples of "human traditionalism"that is evidenced in ( all translations,) including your own bible ,from john wycliffe's to the present.your own bible has been interwoven to color the thought in support of a preferred religious view,an inconsistency and unreasonableness have been insinuated into the teachings of the inspired writings.. the endeavor of the new world bible translation committee has been to avoid this snare of religious traditionalism.. now my point of all of this is: how can they indict the great scholars of all translations, and elevate their own nwt.then tell the rank and file to offer the new book in feb.by lyingly telling the public,the householder,that this publication is designed to help you draw close to god by using your own bible ,which is inconsistent and unreasonable among other snares of religious traditionalisms.and not use the nwt which they claim avoids all of this .. so,when they come to your door this feb.to offer you the new book to read with your own bible,you can say "why should i use my own bible,its pagan,i want the nwt.

Regarding the Resurrection...

which the society says has already taken place, the apostle paul says at 2 timothy 2:17-18, new world translation, that:.

"[t]hese very men [hymenaeus and philetus and including the society which teaches what these two men did] have deviated from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already occurred....".

paul says their words will spread like 'gangrene.

And another horrendous lie....

"The Watch Tower Society does not make recommendations or decisions for individuals on medical and diagnostic practices.... If certain practices have aspects that are questionable in the light of Bible principles, however, attention may be called to these. Then each person can weigh what is involved and decide what to do."--The Watchtower, December 15, 1994, page 5.
