Critique of the lastest New World Translation?

by dontfitin in

hi, i'm a long-time lurker who is still in due to family.

i'm hoping someone here can help me.. is there anywhere online that i can find a critique of the new bible revision?

one of the things that really got me was when i researched about the new world translation and found how there was no basis for adding jehovah's name in the new testament, and then other areas where they translated to accommodate their interpretation.

It's interesting how in the kingdom interlinear they use lots of 'J' references...as if that was a legitimate reason for inserting Jehovah. Then I researched online what the J references were....many of them were Jewish translators, strangely...translating the New Testament, wanting to minimize the importance of Jesus.... Sound familiar?

Dontfitin you sound JUST like me when I started waking up. Now husband and children are all awake and I am happy in a nice liberal Protestant church. Not an easy road, but once you reach your destination, whatever it may be, it will be worth it.

The longest minute?

by Simon in

jw
friends

which is longer, a treadmill minute or a microwave minute?.

... or every minute of every thursday meeting when you wanted to get back home in time to see red dwarf and some elder who loved the sound of his own voice had the mic..

The longest minute was when it was your turn at the door next and you were working an apartment building with no time between doors and the window is open, they are obviously home, and your presentation is lame and you hate talking to strangers anyway and especially pushing a religion on them when you just wish you could be a normal kid and maybe playing softball or watching Saturday morning cartoons or just snuggled up still in bed. But maybe, just maybe, at the door after this one, the t.v. will be on and you can get a few glimpses of what the kids are watching while your mother talks for a really long time!
