Going to meet the jw I studied with for lunch. Hell prob ask why I haven't been at meetings. Any suggestions for a non incriminating statement that will still satisfy his curiosity? He is pretty down to earth.

Hi everyone,
So I have been doing a 90 day fast from anything JW related. Getting close to 2 months in. Went to a Baptist service this morning. I'm not 100% certain that I DO NOT want to be a JW, but have some SERIOUS problems with the ORG.
Well, my wife is completely opposite! Her problem is with the social structure. She doesn't feel a lot of love and social support for moms her age.
Anyway, she went tonight with the kids and told me she got "love bombed" (her words). Yep. Women engaging her, saying they should get dinner, and even one tearing up and saying "I just wanted me and my kids to make it into paradise...you need to be here". Well, my wife is fairly emotionally driven, especially socially driven. She sounds like it got to her. She said "I feel like anywhere we go is going to have problems". LOL! Any help as to what I should do?

Thanks. So, the earliest manuscript says uses "Christos"? Interesting how I never knew about this when an active JW.

Still remember a couple years bringing this up to one of the local Elders where we attended. All he said was "We really dropped the ball".

Is This Really Why the JWs changed the worship Jesus thing?
by lambsbottom inthe verb proskuneo is used fifty-eight times in the new testament.
when the king james translation was made, the word picked to best convey the meaning of the greek word was "worship.
" at that time, the english word "worship" had a range of meaning close to what i have suggested for the greek word proskuneo.

The verb proskuneo is used fifty-eight times in the New Testament. When the King James translation was made, the word picked to best convey the meaning of the Greek word was "worship." At that time, the English word "worship" had a range of meaning close to what I have suggested for the Greek word proskuneo. It could be used for the attitude of reverence given to God, but also for the act of prostration. The word was also used as a form of address to people of high status, in the form "your worship." So the King James translation committee made a pretty good choice.
But modern English is not King James English, and the range of the meaning for the word "worship" has narrowed considerably. Today, we use it only for religious veneration of God, so it no longer covers all of the uses for the Greek verb proskuneo, or of the English word in the day of King James. For this reason, it is necessary that modern translations find appropriate terms to accurately convey precisely what is implied by the use of proskuneo in the various passages where it appears. If they fail to do this, and cling to the old English word "worship" without acknowledging its shift of meaning since the days of King James, they mislead their readers into thinking that every greeting, kiss, or prostration in the Bible is an act of worship directed to a god. (p. 42)
