I was wondering how some of you (ones who have been out of the Org for a while) feel when you read the Bible, or have you tried reading just the Bible--not using the New World Translation.
I still do believe in a higher being and enjoy reading the Bible. But it's a very different prospective I have on it now, my eyes have been opened and I'm reading it by itself without any WBTS literature to twist the meaning of it. I would like to quote Matthew 6:15 "But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." (New International Version)
As I read this today, I was thinking about the way the WBTS treats people who transgress against the many rules of the Borg. Sounds like they have a lot of explaining to do to the Man Upstairs regarding their behavior.
