Since the Bible was put together with fragments of writings all around the Levant I would say one can not get a good bible. Even the Bible says the original documents were destroyed. With that said you need access to several in order to compare and try to reach a conclusion. In the end the Bible is so much of a fraud there's really know way to come to any decent conclusion. You would better off finding the original writings the Bible stole its writings from, like the Emu Elish, sayings of Amenope, writings from Ugarit etc.

"It Wouldnt Be Possible Without The Holy Spirit" - And Why Today I Learned Why That's A Load Of Crap
by pale.emperor inremember when we were jws and we'd hear from the platform, in conventions and on jw broadcasting that the things jws have achieved could only be possible with the help of the holy spirit?
yeah, well, i used to believe that when i was "in".
since leaving we all know this is bs, but today a simple, non religious, conversation lead me to see how stupid their claim is.. in my attempt to meet people and make friends i joined an international meetup group online a few months ago.

Especially when you find out that Russell's took his ideas from others about the Daniel prophecies and then the great pyramid, he totally lifted it. Then the later cult starting with Rutherford pretty much did the same thing with most of its teachings. One last thing , so where told holy spirit picked Rutherford and later of course Holy Spirit is guiding the organization, yet Rutherford himself wrote in one of his books that Holy Spirit was no longer being used or working and he was getting all his information directly from the Angels.

1975 and the burning question/s??
by UnshackleTheChains inok. so i'm sitting there at the convention.
the video comes up about 1975 and the fact that the faithful brother in the video maintained his faith in the bible by adhering to the scripture that says:.
'no one knows the day or the hour as to when the lord is coming'.

It is amazing they brought this date up at all. I think this date is still popping up a bit, but I also think these guys are just so out of touch with reality that they think this is still the main issue for people leaving.

Finds in Jerusalem shore up biblical account of Babylonian conquest (586 BCE date)
by Hecce inthis is a nice article about archaeological finds, what caught my attention is the use of 586 bce as the date for the destruction of jerusalem.. according to biblical descriptions, in 586 bce, the babylonian king nebuchadnezzar vanquished the judaean king zedekiah and razed his capital city, jerusalem.
the babylonian captain of the guard nebuzaradan was dispatched into the city, where, as told in the book of jeremiah, he “burned the house of the lord, and the king’s house; and all the houses of jerusalem, even every great man’s house, burned he with fire.”.

The fraud that is the 70 year desolation
by Crazyguy inas we know being former jws that we were taught that jerusalem was destroyed then 70 years it would be desolate.
well this isn't about jerusalem and the 607/ 587 argument.
this is about the whole subject of the 70 years desolation being a huge bible fraud.

Meant to say Ezekiel was about 14 years of age when he spoke these prophecies not 124. 14 year old boy making prophecies for god. Pretty ridiculous if I don't say so myself.

As we know being former JWs that we were taught that Jerusalem was destroyed then 70 years it would be desolate. Well this isn't about Jerusalem and the 607/ 587 argument. This is about the whole subject of the 70 years desolation being a huge Bible fraud.
First let's start with Jerimiah 29:10 in this verse it says the desolation was for Babylon not Jerusalem, what wait a minute. But then it get even better turn to Isaiah chapter 23 where it's taking about the coming destruction of the city of Tyre it says in the chapter it to would be part of this 70 year desolation, this is what we've been led to believe any way. That Nebuchadnezzar was going to destroy Tyre right with Jerusalem and they'll be gone 70 years. But wait in verse 13 it says that Babylon is no more. Say what, what the hell? So who's going to destroy Tyre if Babylon according to these chapters is destroyed already. What the hell is going on, this is nothing I've read or been taught?
So lets review Jerimiah writtings seem to indicate that the Jews were going back to Babylon but it says the 70 years of desolation was for Babylon and in Isaiah it says that the city of Tyre would also be destroyed and desolate for 70 years but not by Babylon because it's no more. So what's going on? Well let's see what history says really happen. An Assyrian king Sennacherib got fed up with the Babylonians so he march down to Babylon moved the people out and destroyed the city in 693 BC. He then put a 70 year curse on the city. It was also he that had besieged Tyre but was unable to completely destroy the city. After he died his ruling son reversed the curse by using his priest to invert the number to say 11 years instead of 70. Babylons cures was no more and the city rebuilt.
So the 70 years of desolation for Tyre and Babylon never happened and neither did it for Jerusalem in fact it's pretty obvious that the Bible writers stole the 70 year curse idea or maybe these writtings were redacted and the names of the Assyrians were replaced with that of Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians. The whole thing is a fraud and it can be confirmed in Ezekiel. Like Isaiah and Jerimiah, Ezekiel seems to be prophecying against Tyre at like 124 years of age but by chapter 29 he's or the writer is saying the Babylonians are going to be given Egypt as spoils since things didn't go to well at Tyre, meaning the prophecies about Babylon destroying Tyre did come to completion. Ezekiel goes on to prophecy that the Babylonians would destroy Egypt the land would become desolate for 40 years , the Nile would dry up and not even an animal would be there. Well this didn't happen either. Babylons attempt to invade had limited success and in the end it failed.
In review the 70 year desolation was clearly a Assyrian decree and it didn't happen! 607 doesn't matter 587 doesn't matter none of it matters because it all one big fat fraud and all three prophets Isaiah, Jerimiah, and Ezekiel were all false prophets!

DNA unfortunately is not very accurate, but the archeological information as well as historical goes along with these findings. Even the early religious beliefs of the so called Israelites were very similar to those of Canaanites.

Get used to the idea that your going to have to go until your probably old enough to be able to move out of your aunts home. Learn to fake it until then. Just prepare yourself with as much education as you can get and don't under any circumstances get baptized!
