New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures...

by Joliette in

if i'm not mistaken, werent the committee of brothers who translated this bible: nathan knorr, albert scheoder, george gangas, fredrick franz.

wasnt fredrick franz the only scholarly person (or somewhat scholarly) person who was 'somewhat qualified' to translate any type of biblical greek, hebrew, etc?.

So...the bible doesnt say to follow the faithful and discreet slave...CORRECT?

by Joliette in

if i'm not mistaken, there is no bible verse to support following the 'faithful and discreet' slave?.

am i correct?

i know i have to research this, but to give me a jumpstart...?.

No I'm not. It just really hurts...I get lonely a lot. The gay lifestyle is fun but lonely at the same time, since most people are straight. This girl (who my brother claimed he saw on a lesbian website) Got married to a brother in March. I was shocked, cause I thought she ws gay.

Yep, my parents would say, who is Fred Franz first and foremost, and why are you so worried about who translated the bible? This is the truth, and it shouldnt matter who translated our bible. Thats just a bunch of apostates saying that.

I cant consciencely hand someone a watchtower knowing this.

Thanks Brother Dan, Amen to that brotha! But if I ever told the elders I was a lesbian, I dont know how they would act.

And I know that there are gay and lesbian (as well as bisexual) people who are in the congo's, bethel, etc. I know it. Theres an elder that served in our congregation when we were kids, and we know that he's gay. The Watchtower slams other chruches for letting there leaders serve while being openly gay, The congregations know that people are gay, but they act like they dont exist, like its 'only those other religions.' I cant stand it. And I've read stories about 'old bethel heavies' who behavior was 'questionable' (ex: Fred Franz). Not saying that a brother is gay just because he's single, but I heard stories about some.

Thank you very much Elderelite...

Thank you Brodan, I will be sure to read your story.

Well, I'm a single African-American Sister, Aged 27. A lot of the research I've been doing, I've uncovered that the majority of Jehovah Witnesses are African American, and they majority of those african americans are women. That blows me away. Well, basically right now, at this point of my life, the reason why I'm single is because I'm struggling with the whole gay thing. I like men sometimes but for the most part I'm attracted to women, but I know that being with a man is the right thing...its crazy(and no, my parents dont like the fact that I like women, rather I'm gay or bisexual, so in other words, I'll probably die in the big A with my girlfriend lol). Right now, I'm just focused on staying single, working, going school, and doing my research. My parents and I get into it all the time, and they think my mind has been tainted by bad association, and satan of course. Its crazy, but thank goodness for the internet.

I think the internet came along for people to see who Jehovah's Witnesses really are.

A great crowd in heaven (Revelation Chapter 7 VS 19)

by Joliette in

...i know i'm asking a lot of questions today.

the questions just keep rolling.... when i told my parents that a great crowd is mentioned as being in heaven.

i also mentioned to them how paradise isnt mentioned in revelations.

Joliette

Thanks Elderelite.

Yeah, when I tell my parents that, they go back into people getting caught up with man and not really following what Jehovah's says...I know...it makes no sense brother dan.
