  NWT alteration of Genesis 3:6

  by Pronger1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  here is genesis 3:6 from the nasb translation which is in line with other translations.. 6 when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.. here is genesis 3:6 from the new world translation.. 6 consequently, the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was something desirable to the eyes, yes, the tree was pleasing to look at.

  so she began taking of its fruit and eating it.+ afterward, she also gave some to her husband when he was with her, and he began eating it.. the nwt leaves out part of eve's desire to eat the fruit.. "desirable to make one wise".. what is the purpose of altering the translation to leave out this important point?.

  Planting seeds of thought with my JW doctor

  by Faithful Witness in

  2. experiences

  i have hesitated to post anything about my recent encounters with our jw doctor, because i don't really want anyone to insult her or me, for continuing to rely on her for medical care.

  our family doctor is a jehovah's witness.

  we were referred to her by our former bs conductor.

  You do know it is possible for someone to convert to a JW later in life right? My father was in the Air Force and went to college. He became a JW after that. He was an elder as well and sent me to college.

  i sometimes join discussion groups.

  the witnesses do get mentioned.

  i try to make it humorous but some bitterness seeps through.

  I'd leave it alone. Any attempt to sow doubt in her is doing exactly what the WTS accuses "apostates" of doing. Better to be respectful of her beliefs and proven the WT wrong about those who no longer believe.

  this 10 minute video follows a man and his problems as he attempts to deal with women in authority, much as a woman may experience in our own society.. maybe not a real stretch for the imagination.

  there have been some matriachal soceities in history.

  I have never mentioned a word about matriarchial societies. I'm just pointing out that there is no basis for believing that the world wouldn't be screwed up if women were rulers. Throughout history women rulers have been oppressive, murderers, led nations in wars and genocide and cleansing a like the Spanish Inquisition.

  Wikipedia isn't the best source for history. Here is a better picture of the tyrant that Catherine the Great was.

  Fact is, history is full of women rulers who were oppressive and warmongering.

  Just Read 1.5 Hours worth of Conti Case Files

  by lambsbottom in

  2. scandals

  read 1.5 hours worth on conti case files (examination & cross-examination).

  here is my take (and i consider myself a pretty logical person able to set aside emotion...i've never been abuse but know people who have been).. the jury was completely right in awarding the judgement to conti.

  as far as the award amount, i don't care to comment on.

  Probably 25 years ago now, my father was an elder when in the congregation, a late teen Witness molested a young one of about 5. Her and her family attended the congregation.

  The victim's family was pushed to keep it quiet and let God's organization handle it. My father ended up making an anonymous call to the police about the details. The police came around to investigate and the molestor killed himself before any arrests were made.

  Not a pretty situation at all.
