Which Bible?
by Hoofie inhello friendly folk,.
i'm afraid i don't have time to scroll through everything on this site, so i thought i'd ask the question instead - does anybody recommend a "neutral" translation of the bible that i can use as the basis for my studies..?
i just want to start doing my own research and i'd be grateful for any advice from fellow ex-jws as to where to start.

THE WEAKEST LINK---fatal flaws in Watchtower Chronology
by Terry inwatchtower chronology suffers from weak logical links.
after all, they start with an unproven premise and begin linking and linking and linking and suddenly they produce the rabbit out of the hat.
1914 is the rabbit .

Nicely said Cheech. Puts it all in perspective doesnt it. God must love riddles and confusing his followers.

One Devastating Bible Passage
by Farkel ini used the following quote from mark 9:38-40 in another thread, but thought it might be worthy to have people comment about it in its own thread: .
"john said to him: "teacher, we saw a certain man expeling demons by the use of your name and we tried to prevent him, because he was not accompanying us.
but jesus said: "do not try to prevent him, for there is no one that will do a powerful work on the basis of my name that will quickly be able to revile me, for he that is not against us is for us.

My previous post was put in there to show what the WTS has said on the matter about the scripture that the Fark was commenting on. Someone said somewhere in this thread that the WTS had not commented much on that scripture so I simply posted it for convenience for anyone who wanted to see the WTS spin on it.

Yes, some from our area went down to help and reported back that the brothers/sisters were "encouraged" to give that money to the WTS.

Well isnt that just swell! I bet its just another way for the WTS to make a buck. Get all those bros and sisters to donate their labor for free and the WTS can run with the insurance money.

I wonder if they will be signing over their insurance checks to the WTS like they did in Texas?

What??? First I heard of this. Was this recommended by the society?

A possible additionaly item for your list, Terry, is that in the JW interpretation, the "greater" fulfillment of the "prophecy" actually begins before the prophecy has even been given.
Please explain that comment please.
