  Question about Bible Translations

  by spender in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've been looking for the past couple of days for a study bible with relatively un-biased commentary, and an accurate translation.

  i'd also like to get the strongs concordance...is this a good idea?.

  any opinions on bible translations you particularly like and why are appreciated.

  One of my favorites is the New American Standard. It also shows alternative renderings for certain words. Also if the study material is for research rather just reading, you might want to consider some CD-ROM versions that are typically cheaper and more powerful.

  Spender, did you say you were in the Lewisberry area? Is that near Harrisburg? I used to live not too far from there.

  cosmic x-rays reveal evidence for new form of matter.

  nasa's chandra x-ray observatory has found two stars one too small, one too cold that reveal cracks in our understanding of the structure of matter.

  Who would you most like to meet.?

  by JBean in

  i'm just curious...if you had the opportunity, who on this board would you like to meet if given the chance (or could without getting "in trouble"!)?

  (could be serious, could be fun...) i for one, am just sooo curious to meet the cat himself... just to find out if he's much different in person than in his online persona!

  ...and maybe pet him a few times in the process...

  i explored a few options as i was coming out of the organization.

  nominal christianity had no appeal except that it was without the policing and punishment of the jw's.

  there was no open discussion still and i didn't agree with most of it.

  Hey Spaz.

  I was told numerous times, "Marry only in the lord [= JW's]. It will just cause problems down the road for you and them if you don't. Your faith could be wrecked." I was never taught to see it any other way.

  You're absolutely right. I can think of a personal example already. Thanks for the change of perspective.

  Lilacs, We're not all selfish. Don't give up hope yet!

  This kind of tactic reminds you of the WTS though. They abuse you and still you stay. But try to leave and watch out.

  Relating to Non-JW's

  by LucidSky in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i read the "ex-witness singles" thread and it seems like a good idea.

  the thought has crossed my mind many times before since non-jw's often don't seem to care or understand.

  i would love being able to relate on something that has played such an important part of your lives (uh, understated - something your world is supposed to revolve around.
