Taking the Watchtower Our of the Boy: A Goodbye Song
by JuanMiguel inwhile i highly recommend the exchange of ideas and the informative camaraderie found on this board to anyone leaving the confines of the watchtower, i see an unhealthy pattern developing in me that tells me i should take leave, at least for now.. it's enjoyable and practically everyone is gracious, except for a few, and it does feel good to stretch the ole "thinker" in a bit of debate or even in-depth discussion.. but i sense in myself both a desire to "prove" myself linked to my past ego of yesteryear jehovah's witnesses proselytizing conflicting with my current understanding of why i left that type of religion behind.. unique among discussion boards.
very few discussion boards have an audience that understand terms like "qumran 4" or "masada" or .
"proto-masoretic," or at least has the capacity to look it up and come with a comprehension of its usage.

Translating the NWT in the Shadows
by JuanMiguel innote: the following is not meant to be construed as a recommendation but to demonstrate the sharp contrast between any authentic bible translation and the new world translation.
for those of us who participate and or read the threads on this board, i understand and appreciate that all here have different views on religion, the existence of god, and of the catholic church.
i believe each individuals convictions should be treated with the utmost respect and dignity.
