  ok i have been fading fast, missed a lot of meetings over the past couple of months and the kids think its mostly do to my being busy with work.

  this morning was probably the first sunday that i was home and could go but did not.

  so my 8 year old asked me if i was going and why when i said no.

  Forwarded JW email: proof of the Nephilim!

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  and the bible again was right.... all the ones who are familiarized, with the bible know about the nephilim.

  as related in the bible, these man of ancient times, apparently descenced from the heavens (they were angels), having been atracted by women on the earth....for that reason they took form of men, abandoning their original spiritual nature.

  that bible account, leaves many perplexed, which is very understandable, if you don t believe in god, but now archaeologist, have found rest of abnormal big skeletons....what at least make you think of the accuracy of the bible.. .

  It's just an urban legend. I would love to tell my mom that it's a hoax, but I'm trying to fly under the radar.

  let's play Dear God

  by Tater-T in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  dear god, if you are a god as your followers claim you to be, why do you have to operate in the constraints of spacetime?

  dear god, why did you have to sacrifice yourself to yourself to save your creation that you made with flaws?.

  dear god, why do you not do anything about your old men in robes raping little boys?

  Dear god, why do we have to be unreasonably gullible in order to believe in your existence? And when's the next edition of your book coming out? It's been outdated for millennia.

  How many went from christian to something else?

  by Satanus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i noticed some posters who used to argue along christian lines, but don't do so, anymore.

  granted, it's a tough line to keep to on this forum.

  i would be interested to hear (read) of people who came here as believers, and then transitioned to unbeliever, and the reasons for that.

  I went from born-in JW to deist, and now I'm agnostic. I started reading the bible by itself without any publications, and I stopped believing in it halfway through the OT. I couldn't wrap my mind around all the violence, genocide, and bloodshed. It broke my heart when I read that peoples were killed just because they didn't worship Yahweh, not to mention the account of the concubine who was raped and cut into 12 pieces. The [warrior] god of the bible doesn't deserve my worship or praise.

  When I would read the bible I would compare verses with another translation if I had trouble understanding how the NWT read, and that usually helped me understand better. That's how I found bible.cc and loved how I could compare multiple translations at once, unlike biblegateway.com. I also noticed there were some commentaries at the bottom. I read those at well because I wanted to know what "Christendom" taught, and how it was different from my JW beliefs. I was amazed at how much more sense (e.g., "other sheep" in John 10:16 meaning Gentiles) they made than WT literature. I mainly did this because I didn't want to be caught off guard if a householder used a different translation.

  You could just manage your content manually by following the instructions here. Trust me, you don't have to buy an external hard drive, unless you don't want to go through the hassle of ripping all your CDs again.

  Need help in identifying a Bible translation

  by Caminante in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm working on transcribing the full 3 hour recording of ray franz's visit in romania of over five years ago and i realize he quotes from a pretty unfamiliar bible translation.

  well, it's unfamiliar to me--it might not be for you though--and i don't seem to find it anywhere online.

  as a clue, i have the verses from 1 peter 4:8-10. they read as follows: "above all, let your love for one another be constant, for love covers a multitude of sins.
