  Has anybody got a copy of the older New World Translation ? (pre : the new simplified version ?)

  hey so i'm currently doing a uni project and making a film exploring my leaving of the witnesses.

  i wanted to begin with an intro where i revisit the genesis account of god creating the heavens and the earth.

  i remember it to be quite visually descriptive, so i wanted to take the account and illustrate it myself with narration over the top.

  You can read the 1984 edition on JW dot ORG at this link:
  http://www.jw.org/en/publications/bible/bi12/books/

  
  2013 edition at this link:

  To answer FayeDunaway's question:

  1984 edition:
  In [the] beginning*+ God*+ created+ the heavens and the earth.+2 Now the earth proved to be formless and waste and there was darkness upon the surface of [the] watery deep;*+ and God’s active force* was moving to and fro+ over the surface of the waters.+3 And God proceeded to say:*+ “Let light come to be.” Then there came to be light.
  2013 edition:
  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.+2 Now the earth was formless and desolate,* and there was darkness upon the surface of the watery deep,*+ and God’s active force*+ was moving about over the surface of the waters.+3 And God said: “Let there be light.” Then there was light.

  just saw this on the ex-jw subreddit.

  on opencharity.ca, you can view wtbs canada's financial info and in 2013 they received almost $9 million in donations.

  you can even see how much some congregations gave.

  does a type of buddhism exist that doesn't include the metaphysical aspects of traditional buddhism?

  There's no reincarnation in buddhism.

  I guess what I was referring to was "rebirth" teachings. And the teachings about the realms and planes of existence.

  That stuff just feels like another irrational rabbit hole.

  Thanks everyone!

  Well, when I refer to metaphysical I'm meaning the whole karmic reincarnation teaching.
