  New World Translation, is it the best bible translation?

  by littlebuddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my jw elder friend said to me that the nwt is the best translation of the bible and that scholars have said as much.

  is this true and is it the best?

  are there scholars who disagree?.

  when we find the actual originals, we can THEN prove which is the best Bible translation, and NOT before

  This is my thought on the matter. Until then, they're all in the same inacurracy boat; one no better than the next.

  My life ... and how JWD came to be - Part 5

  my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 1. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 2. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 3. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 4. i swear, i thought it was only a couple of years at most since i wrote part 4 of "my life and how jwd came to be".

  i re-read it after someone posted to it and brought it back on active topics and it was kind of prophetic in a way ... well, i had the 5 years part right if nothing else:.

  it would be nice to visit the site (or whatever one is around then) in 5 years time to let people know how we're doing and find only a few of the same people still around.

  Talk illustrations that need to be retired

  my dad used this one alot: it compared raising a child to holding a spring.

  if you let go too soon the spring will fly off in an uncontrolled direction.

  if you hold it too long you will wear your hand out and the spring will be no good.

  are you afraid of the biblical god?.

  are you afraid of a god that can read your mind.

  if so have you ever considered this a form of mind control?

  I always got the impression they were a bit effeminate, not gay though. Maybe they were so skinny & frail from a lack of food.

  As for the topic, some couldn't take having to work low paying jobs (due to education) and having to support themselves ... so they went to Bethel.

  WHERE in the bible does it say each creative day was 6,000 years? Ending around 1975??

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  could be 8,000 or 18,000 years long......if to jehovah each "a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years a day.

  " 1975 armagedon theory was based on this.

  {notice how this theory has since died off} my wife was told off by an elder for giving a talk on "creative days not 24 hours" but not stating each was 6,000 years long...she said she didn't believe it....he backed off and said okay then!

  Smurfs????????

  by cantleave in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  every now and then i come across comical references to smurfs in posts on this site, i have been in the org all my life and never heard of any demonisation of father abraham's little blue imaginary friends, even when they they hit the uk top ten singles chart.

  can someone enlighten me of what was said, where and when?

  maybe i missed it because i was more concerned about kiss using an ouija board in plane or axel rose being anagram of oral sex!!!
