English, currently learning Spanish, some ASL. I can also read enough Koine Greek to get by.
I found the following site helpful with pronunciation. It does a decent job in converting text to speech.

nashville, tenn. (bp)--the gospel of judas is helpful in understanding early church heresy but should be viewed as false writings and not comparable to the biblical gospels, conservative scholars say.
a group of scholars and translators announced in early april the documents discovery, disclosing the find just before a special about the manuscript aired on the national geographic channel.
national geographic billed it as a "lost gospel.

could someone tell me why the jw bible is called the new world translation of the holy scriptures and not the new world translation of the holy bible?
and why do jw's have so many publications to accompany the bible?
if the bible is inspired by god, shouldn't the bible be enough?
And why do JW's have so many publications to accompany the Bible?
Because a publishing company must continue to publish books to stay in business.

i have a great business idea for you, your going to need to invest a small amount and get your friends involved and within a year or less you should not even have to work at all and just sit back and let the money roll in.
heard it, done it and for god's sake will people stop falling prey to these things.
amway and quickstar are the same company!
free2beme,
I've always found it amazing how similar the Watchtower's techniques are to Amway.
Before and after my ex-wife became a witness, she fell for every multi-level marketing scheme that came along, including Amway.
In a way the Watchtower is running its own multi-level marketing scheme. Instead of becoming wealthy, the goal is to obtain everlasting life. One of the big money makers for Amway is the sell of its training aids. These are pushed upon the participants much like the Watchtower pushes its literature on Witnesses. And of course Amway participants and Witnesses must continuously recruit new ones. All of this is re-enforced with meetings and association with other like-minded individuals.

Sure. I'm just one of many.
In the process of becoming a Witness, you rid yourself of many of Christendom's myths. With only a couple of myths left, Atheism is only a few steps away.

6. add the last 4 digits of your phone number .
7. add the last 4 digits of your phone number again.
what number do you get?
Here is why this works:
2. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the area code)
3. Multiply by 80 4. Add 1
(first three digits * 80) + 1
5. Multiply by 250
((first three digits * 80) + 1) * 250
or
((first three digits * 80) * 250) + (1 * 250)
or
(first three digits * 20,000) + 250
6. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number
7. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again.
(first three digits * 20,000) + 250 + (last 4 digits * 2)
8. Subtract 250
(first three digits * 20,000) + (last 4 digits * 2)
9. Divide number by 2
(first three digits * 10,000) + (last 4 digits)
555-1234 would work out like this.
(555 * 10,000) + 1234
or
5,550,000 + 1234
or
5,551,234
