  Evolution or Creation??

  by dottie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well i know i may be opening a can of worms here.... but after what we were taught in the wts about creation...and now that you may know more about evolution... which do you think you'd choose to believe more??.

  myself...i am leaning towards evolution...but then i read things that make me think otherwise.

  so i do find it confusing sometimes .

  Hebrew translations

  by showme in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i first bought a comparative study bible along with the new world translation, so i could compare the differences.

  my question though is this.

  how can i find a version that might contain the original text, side by side with english translation, or some thing simular.

  creation or evolution?

  first as a boy i believed in creation because i heard a preacher say it was true.

  then i thought "well, maybe my teacher is right because of fossils and the recorded facts".

  Everlasting life?

  by DanTheMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  maybe i dreamed this, but i swear that there was a wt article sometime in 2001 that, in discussing john 17:3, made some mysterious (mysterious in light of their long-time teaching on this issue) that the greek word translated "everlasting" had different shades of meaning, that it may have referred to "quality, not quantity".

  in other words, knowing jah and the one he sent forth would result in an abundance of quality life, not necessarily endless life in the chronological sense.

  i was in such a wt mental stupor at the time that i didn't think much of it, but now that i think about it, it seems that this may have been the very first teeny little baby step in a gradual and huge doctrinal shift.. then again, maybe i dreamed this.

  2. beliefs

  during my watchtower days, from their 'college level education', i had the impression that all street drugs were terribly addictive, as soon as someone did a drug one time, he was hooked.

  that drugs reduced people to souless protoplasm.

  street drugs are actually classified into two basic groups: .
