whatever happened to the kingdom interlinear translation of the greek scriptures?part 1. print/download: pdfdoc.
the watchtower says on page 5 of the 1985 edition of the kit:.
there is no definite article in the greek before the word god in john 1:6, yet the wt translates it god, with a capital g!.

i remember reading the my book of bible stories when i was younger and it constantly referenced to abraham being jehovah's friend.
if jehovah made himself into a real being for a day, but he still had his almighty powers, what kinda friend do you think he would be?
i honestly think that he would suck as a friend, especially when he didnt get things his way..
They told me when I started studying that he would help me when I went into labour with my second child ..... boy that was nice. So the big day comes along and I prayed and prayed 'cause the pain was horrible, but the pain got worse. They couldn't stop the bleeding, awful having to say "No Blood" and then being treated badly because of that by the doctor and nurses.
I almost bled to death!!!! Some friend.
Sky blue with a few amber flecks ....
are your activities a happy and a positive one?
do you care to share some thoughts on having an exciting life?
if you do not have a happy life, are you making any plans in making your life exciting?.
".....a time to weep and a time to laugh....and skip about"(ecc 3:1-8)
Well, my life at the moment is about as exciting as watching paint dry! But.....
I am still able to laugh because as sizemik says
. It's good to be living a reality rather than an illusion"
Soon I'll get to the skipping about part .........yeeesssssss!

this is a clip i made of the jenison jr. high 8th grade band performing at their spring concert.
this is part of a medley of indiana jones themes from the film series.
the jenison band program draws great support from the boosters, parents, community and faculty and wins awards from 6th grade on up through high school.
FHN,
Love band music, especially a marching band on a warm summer evening! These guys sound great!
Good looking grandson, bet he'll break a few hearts lol! I know you will miss each other, aww don't you hate it when they go.

i've always liked tatoos and disagreed with the wt's stand on them.
i just turned 42 on may 14 and think its about time i get one.
nothing drastic, just a small lilly flower on my left shoulder.
I'm with Grace on this one. The chances of contracting hepatitus from a contaminated needle are pretty good .... hence the licensing thing. But, that doesn't make the tattoo artist beyond error.
Funny, my impression when seeing a back or chest fully covered in ink .... I wonder how they can breathe. ...no really, the skin is an organ after all, not just wrapping paper.
Chose wisely

to any jw who believes the shunning rules .
a mother's love.
a mother's love is something.
Camelot ...
"The GB has no clue who we all are, they are scheming each day to keep "mind control" over thier members and then go to bed without giving us a thought. I won't allow them to steal my daughter from me and take all the joy in my life."
Classic .... sounds like you took the bull by the horns and disfellowshipped THEM!!
I so admire your strength! Love the poem.
We were literally tied to our mothers by a cord ........and that is not easily broken!
Enjoy that precious gift, your little daughter and all the best to you both.

my son showed this video to me and i wanted to share it with you guys/gals.. i thought at first it was a real radio broadcast from how "authentic" it sounded.
lol.
these guys are good at their editing and production of these videos.. i can only imagine how many "christians" hate how he ends this video.
That was really terrific...
I'm still laughing and somehow .... a little disappointed myself! lol

noticed this the other day while studying.
i dont know how must witnesses miss this.
it seems many of them are putting thier name over it on a label.... .
Not into starting a war lol .... my only comments are these....
1. I am not here to clarify anyone elses post ... only to to support and discus.
2. Gee, is there a list of 'respectable' posts? Those that have merit? Would a newbie even know about this list. When I first came on here, I thought subliminal images were terrifically interesting (although not my cup of tea today).
3. And "WHY does it matter if this is a 1st post or 1001st?" ... because on the 1001st post, the poster can take it. That poster isn't looking for the same thing as the 1st poster..... which would be acceptance, support and perhaps a reason to make it through another day of shunning and another night of isolation.
A lot of us are still there. Sorry if you thought that this was imposing social taboos, or judgements, it isn't. Hate me if you want, but I'm still going to stand up for the 'underdog' (so to speak) whoever they may be.
Rant over.(need emoticon peacepipe)
