  Which Bible Translation.....

  ....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.

  Concerning the use of pole by the 2Ktransies, I'll say, that to me it just betrays their lack of skill in Bible translation to the point of being ridiculously amusing.

  Their use of Jehovah exemplifies the high handed influence of JW mentality at work in their translation, especially when they include it in New Testament books.

  Last I'd heard of this translation project the original author was discontinuing the project due to personal issues and an ex-JW reached out to other ex-JW's, including Eric Wilson, to offer help in keeping the project going.

  So that should be quite telling of the level of scholarly achievement among the folks behind the Project, which is to say not that great.

  I find it very sad when an ex-JW is fully out physically but still enslaved mentally to the WT nonsense and doctrinal fallacies.

  So boogerman, don't get a rash over it.

  The meaning of phobos in that verse is well interpreted as reverence, that's why the 2Ktransies inserted Godly although not in the original.

  I told you that not in so many words but I guess you required some spoonfeeding, so there you have it.

  If you don't like my smartypants attitude I can accept that, just chalk it up to my flawed character, no worries ol' chap.

  Good question LUHE.

  iloowy is a goowy name but highly exalted.

  It used to be ilooy and it's even been ILLOOWY and the gaon is now goowy.

  But what's in a silly username that could make it smell more sweetly? I guess what's been said of the royal gown.

  Last nights Zoom meeting: Watching a nine year old on stage reading Bible passages

  my nephew called me sunday night to tell me that his nine year old son was giving his first talk.

  he gave me the zoom i.d.. and password for his congregations in-person tuesday night meeting.. i haven't been to any meetings in nine years.

  many things have changed.

  yeahhhh, some things change, some stay the same, some have gotten way, way worse. At one time the TMS had tests, which were scored and graded. And then there was the talk in a District Convention where they sternly counseled against using digotal devices on stage and you were no good if you didn't use your paper NWT to read from. But the emphasis on very young children joining the school has always been a practice in KH's. For many of us, Queequeg, I'd agree, it was a positive result of the training for speaking in public more comfortably and even doing research to draft your talk, good skills for sure.

  Eegads boogerman. Don't you understand the process of translation. No, I guess not. Why do you suppose there are square brackets arround Godly in the 2001translation? Is it in the original? Why do the 2Ktransies feel it was necessary?

  I'd suggest you are out of your league on the matter of evaluating translation quality, ol' chap.

  Once again after another extended absence the ILL is back in town. Greetings to all fellow oldtimers and loving that Blondie has been posting here on JWD once more.

  My old ticker ain't what it used to but I'm still kicking around.

  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

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  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.
