  Which Bible Translation.....

  by BoogerMan in

  ....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.

  Their in-depth explanations for certain texts are very well researched and articulate.

  @ GORBY - I spoke with Paul Gillies. He is a slimy snake in the grass who also represented JW's at the conferences of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, (OSCE) the European political/military wing of the U.N.

  My JW siblings subsequently publicly disowned me for informing them of his/the org's involvement!

  Very open, diverse, and interesting thoughts on a profound and personal question.

  I've never expressed my (bound to be unpopular) thoughts on the subject to anyone before, but here goes:

  Prayer demonstrates hope & faith in God Almighty's promises in the scriptures. Those promises assure us that dead loved ones will be resurrected, and all the evils & suffering people have endured will be wiped out & forgotten - and replaced with an eternal life on earth which will be beyond comparison with what we experience now. (Psalm 37:9,10,29: Matthew 5:5; Rev. 21:3,4) Christ Jesus told Christians to pray for that time to come. (Matt. 6:10) The apostle Paul said the scriptures gave us instruction, endurance, hope & comfort. (Rom. 15:4)

  Having a faith in these promises - along with agreement with Peter's statement that God is not partial - I do not believe that God answers anyone's prayers for personal needs, other than to endure trials of our faith.

  Prayers regarding health, financial, or material needs etc. are not answered for anyone now, otherwise, it's like saying "God favored me and answered my prayers, but you...tough!"

  The JW's greatest dogma...

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ....that god almighty/jesus personally selected j.f.

  rutherford & wtbts inc. as a front for worldwide christianity, is an affront to worldwide christians.. the adage, “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” was made for such spurious assertions.. as with jw's who claim, "jehovah answered my prayer for......," both claims rely on total credulity, and zero evidence of divine intervention.

  A expected, the silence from those defending JW dogma, is deafening.

  I hope they use their reasoning abilities and ask themselves, "Who/what convinced me Rutherford & Co. were personally chosen from heaven - WTBTS literature or a divine revelation?

  Question #1 for JW's to offer an explanation

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the r&f jw's are defined by the wtbts as antitypical "foreigners," and as such, are not participants of the new covenant:.

  wt 98 2/1 p.19, par.

  6 - "further, other sheep lay hold of the new covenant just as foreigners of old laid hold of the law covenant.

  @ Scholar - LOL

  Are you a politician in real life? You give a lengthy and unconnected response to avoid addressing two clear statements which blatantly contradict each other - one from the Bible, and the other from your hierarchy.

  Please explain why your 'slave' lies about Egypt's foreigners not being participants in the covenant?

  @ Scholar:

  This article is too long to submit here, but the highlighted portions are the org's own evidence that its failed prophecy of armageddon & the "rapture" for 1914 (as well as Rutherford's coup) was what caused its biggest problems - not a few guys getting jailed! Many Bible Students (BS) woke up to the B.S.)
  

  w55 3/15 p. 175 Part 6—1914 Date Verified - Toward the end of 1916 Russell began to fail rapidly;he died aboard a train near Pampa, Texas, October 31. Following Brother Russell’s death, (1916) years of crisis set in, producing within the organization the pressures of opposition, judgment and cleansing. (due largely to the predicted armageddon not occurring as predicted!) After such a gigantic build-up of warning witness which had occurred with respect to that prophetic date of 1914, (armageddon) many of the associates became weary of well-doing. Rebelliousness among congregation elders came to the surface, and unhealthy spiritual conditions in general set in,

  
  

  p.s. Ever heard heard of David Livingstone and his ilk who preached the good news to Africans, Chinese, & other parts of the world in the 19th century – well before JW's ever did?

  Watchtower November 15, 2014, p. 30 - Revelation 11:7 says that it is "the wild beast that ascends out of the abyss" which kills the 'two witnesses'.

  Since the wild beast of Rev. 11:7 is claimed to be the United Nations, how could a non-existent organisation (which didn't originate until 1945) fulfill a prophecy 26 years earlier? Even the League of Nations did not come into existence until 1920.
