Which Bible Translation.....

by BoogerMan in

jw
friends

....is the best, in your opinion?.

out of the numerous translations i've had/used, i can honestly state that the 2001 translation is head & shoulders above all the others i've ever consulted, imo.

the publishers even invite suggestions/corrections to be submitted.

I disagree, the 2001translation is very biased. They claim ro use the Septuagint but make interpretations not in line with the actual text. The NT includes the divine name in places although there are zero Greek manuscripts that support its translation in the NT. At least one of the main "translators" was and likely still is a JW who had zero formative study or qualifications in Koine Greek, nor classical Greek, nor modern Greek for that matter. Get yourself a hold of an LSB or Berean Literal Translation, BSB or new NASB if you wasnt a great translation without the weaknesses of the amateurish 2001translation. I personally recommend the Legacy Standard Bible or the Berean Study Bible, the Lexham is also excellent. For a great translation with extensive notes the NET Bible is hard to beat and for a very litteral one that uses Yahweh in the OT the World English Bible is very good.

WT Lawyers response in Hines v. Watchtower CSA case 2/11/22

by iloowy.goowy in

this is the link to the memorandum of law in the hines v. watchtower csa case filed last friday 2/11/22.https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/viewdocument?docindex=vzujfhgk0etye/azc/kcbg==.

it is the wt lawyers reply in the trial where deborah hines accuses wt hierarchy even governing body members of continuing to employ a known child abuser, her own dad, at bethel because he was indispensable to them in video-production.

the slimy wt excuses start on page 7 of 28 where, as far as my non-legally mind can understand, the wt lawyers say the governing body can't get sued because they're not a corporation, nor are they mandated reporters of abuse, meaning they don't have to say anything by law even if they know a crime has occurred.. the slimy wt lawyers are also pretty good at playing with words to hide the fact that the governing body does run the business of the watchtower but from behind the scenes.

The slimy WT lawyers are also pretty good at playing with words to hide the fact that the Governing Body does run the business of the Watchtower but from behind the scenes. In effect they're exposing the operation of the WT "business" to resemble a Mafia type operation, where the top head wiseguys run things and hide behind their incorporated entities although they themselves aren't incorporated, well that is not since they stepped away back in 2001 from being the "Directors" of the corporations they continue to have total say over. The Governing Body aren't incorporated, no, because they're very slimy and disgusting mob bosses.

I agree with dgeero. Bernie is the only chance for the democratic party to win the White House.

He still is. And the shenanigans of the bought-and-paid-for Hillaryous supporters are much to blame for the Russian-lackey and crying shame of a president in the White House today.

Bernie's progressive ideas are still the way to move forward in this country, not backwards as the current administration is headed, having their noses in the fat-ass cracks of the wealthy climate-killing and military-establishmentarians.

I bet 3/4 of the people supporting Bernie on this thread from 2016 are now Trump supporters in 2019.
Crazy how the collective meltdown of the left after the 2016 election woke up so many individualist liberals.

That is one very unsubstantiated assertion that screams of political delirium and desperation.

Bet again spicy-pepper dud'. You must be dreaming or delusional?

As a Bernie supporter I'm more convinced than ever that the progressives have the best plan for America. As an American I'm more convinced than ever that the right wing-nuts and their fellow Tea(bagger) Partiers will drive this nation into a hole, a chasmic golf course Trump-hole that never cries enough--enough of the fear-mongering, dictator-loving, and backwards arsed economics ignorance.

Indeed, there is for sure "a big number of folks in this country that spend their day sitting around while they scam society by taking advantage," yes, they're a bunch of fat-ass-multi-generational-daddy-warbucks who just sit on their fat asses collecting interests and profits on arms sales and climate destroying companies, scamming society and taking advantage. They're the pigs in Orwell's Animal Farm, but sadly they control the real world today, not some farm in a story.
