The Watchtower CORPORATION of NEW YORK CITY ... will ALWAYS pick the translation that will fit their AGENDA, PROPAGANDA, BRAIN WASHING, CONTROL, etc.
We as ExJws know what they are trying to do by translating it that way ...
micah 6:8 might be - or have been - a favourite verse of many.
the verse used to read:.
"he has told you, o earthling man, what is good.

i have been reverse witnessing to a witness at work who i told about my witness wife.
i think he thinks he is well on his way to make me a study but i have asked him to provide evidence that the wbrts is what it claims to be by reference to how it was appointed and how the current gb came to inherit that authority.
but one issue we ahd was the position of jesus accordign to the wbts and he said that he sits in heaven at the right hand of jehovah planning the future.
The jesus of the Watchtower CORPORATION is in "heaven" waiting for the "go ahead" to come and kill all NON-JWs on the face of the earth ...
thete are a lot of derocatory comments sbout witnesses and cleaning windows.
as a former window cleaner i can say:-.
a. i started my self employment at 17.. b. i built the round with my own initiative.. c. i was soon making 4 times the average hourly wage.. d. i was afraid of heights, but as the round grew i employed 2 people.. e. it exspanded to gardening painting and decorating ect, ect,.
@ "...yesterday my kid told me he wants to play for Man United...i think all 9 year olds should have that dream and not be told its better to serve Jehover. But not defending the watchtower, if my boy doesnt want to go to university, i wont make him. ..he can be a laywer or a postman, but whats important is its his choice. ( Hope its not to start a new religion) ..."
Exactly ...
i am reading "stranger in a strange land" by robert a. heinlein.
i read it over 20 years ago.
now i am reading it from a completely different perspective.
The 9 steps to financial freedom And the god I never knew.

to answer my question, no i do not pray over meals anymore exept for when i am with other jws i do a 15 second head bow for appearances sake.
i just came to the realization god had nothing to do with whether i ate or not.
many believers are starving right now whilst many non-believers are eating like kings.. also why should god give me food while he lets little children in dprk concentration camps starve to death.
I only do it when I feel the need. I say thank you Lord for this meal And that's it.
my relatives are having a talk for their non-jw family member, meaning he was born in but never baptized and is kind of a bad example in the congo, of course they were not allowed to use the kh and have to look for a facility and someone to do the talk.
.
i need the script or outline to get some counterpoints and throw here and there during conversations ... .
Thanks.
although there is no explicit commandment or stipulation that ordains child sacrifice in the bible, there are nonetheless numerous passages that discuss it as if it was being practiced.
this post lays the query out.
http://contradictionsinthebible.com/firstborn-sons-redeemed-or-not/.
There was a person in the bible who offered the first person to come out of his house as a burnt offering to God, I don't know if it was to YAWEH... well, he did fulfilled his promised. I don't konw if burnt meant sacrifice by fire ... the gril was a virgin. I need to research that, also God did not ask for it, it was the person who offered it and back hten you needed to fulfill your vows to YHWH.
But you know thats one aspect I like about the bible, tell you the good, the bad and the ugly ... it does not try to hide it, it is transparent! A lot of people would have fight to make God appear all loving in the bible I think, but NOPE, the good, the bad, and the ugly is all out there for our reading ... LOL ... The question is WHY?

* a jw family leave their crops and livestock unattained to go to a convention.
when they return, the crops and livestock are doing just fine.. * a desperate person is anxiously praying to god to give her a chance to know him.
even before the prayer is concluded, two jws knock at her door.. * a pioneer prefers to take leave from her work in order to attend the pioneer school, even though she's sure she'll be fired.
I think that FAITH is an universal principle ... it is not respecter of men ... dreams, hopes, aspirations, wishes come true sometimes!
