  after reading a few comments here, i thought it was time for me to get a copy of "the silver sword" for my own occasional research and occult practices.

  so i thought i would see if jw.org would offer a way that i could purchase a printed copy (not digital) of the new world translation.

  as i browsed, it occurred to me that i might also like to have a copy of the... what was it?

  WOW, Careful!

  Are you in the UK?

  I don't get out much, but I have never seen a JW cart in the USA!

  Can anyone find the questions that were asked in 1961?

  They were, if memory serves, vastly different, and one could easily argue that old baptisms were invalidated by the change in the terms of the old "contract."

  Snugglebunny prodded, "Yes but are you a devout atheist?"
  

  Actually, I describe myself as a non-practicing atheist.

  Right after I posted the opening message, I did as LV101 suggested and went onto eBay.com, where I found both the RNWT and The Bible In Living English in gently (I hope!) used condition, but at prices somewhat higher than I had hoped; just under $47 for both. YIKES!

  It occurs to me that an enterprising "minister of the Word of God" could easily corner the admittedly small market in PRINTED Watchtower bibles by offering NEW, UNUSED copies at reasonable prices, plus shipping. In the USA "Priority Mail" is a FAST and cost-effective option for those who don't mind spending a bit more to get their parcel in less than 4 days, coast-to-coast. For those on a tight budget, the old "Book Rate" - now called "Media Mail" - is still available. Yes, it IS slow, but at least it is not fast, and any messy time-displacement paradoxes will be totally avoided!

  (Personally, I HATE book rate, though Benjamin Franklin might find his head spinning at the very idea of coast-to-coast in a mere eternity, but Ben's headbone ain't anchored as firmly as it once was.)

  Hey, if any of you are still "active" and would like to sell me a couple of Bibles, I would be happy to do a transaction with you. Your identity will be protected by me and I have a "dead drop" I can use to protect my identity.

As I browsed, it occurred to me that I might also like to have a copy of the... what was it? the Byington Bible. The translation that the WTS (Watchtower Tract Society) bough so they could suppress it.

  I was really surprised to discover that NO bibles of any version are available in printed Form!

  Of course all of the so-called "Bible study aids" are available in printed form, but no Bibles!

  I find this remarkable, but as time passes I find myself more and more easily amazed.

  Huh.

  Just wondering, SOT, if you take a tax exemption for your ministerial activities?

  Perhaps you can offer us advice on how we can avoid taxes by claiming our home is a church? Hmmm?

  You seem bashful, Chad.

  Christian or Atheists?

  in my brief time on this site, i've come to realize that most people who have been shunned or stray away from the jehovah witnesses normally end up having no faith at all.

  my curiosity has led me to the conclusion that the gb has created more atheists than believers...... .

  I have often said that BAPTISM is the first step in becoming an XJW, but I think the first step in any person becoming an atheist is listening to a theologian of any persuasion and coming to the conclusion "This is bullshit."

  Here's my two-cents:

  How would you react if the video showed a JW "speaking out" in churcg during the funeral of Senator John McCain?

  I think you'd agree it would have been outrageous.

  What is outrage for the goose is outrage for the gander.

  I think I understand the personal pain that might drive a person to do this, but I doubt that it accomplishes anything other than reinforcing the notion among the JWs that they are being "persecuted" because they are "True Christians."

  Don't do this.
