all one has to do is read another translation of the bible to realise that the NWT is a little off, to say the least... but, since no JW would dare do that, there are no worries!

i have some quotes from several respected bible linguists regarding the new world translation: .
dr. julius mantey - "a manual grammar of the greek new testament" calls the new world translation "a shocking mistranslation".
dr. bruce metzger, late professor of new testament at princeton university -"a frightful mistranslation", "erroneous", "pernicious", and "reprehensible".

no where does it mention that noah traveled around the world in his big boat.
in fact, is says that the ark was floating "high above the earth".
also, what does matthew mean about "just like in the days of noah?
If all the people were on the ark where did the giants come from afterwards?
they were pre-flood

interesting link .... first temple seal discovered in arab debris.
ackack
i didn't think seals could survive in israel, what with the heat and all... and even if they did, wasn't it only the highpriest that was allowed in the temple???

temple seals? sounds like a good club!
i recalled the other day how several years ago my wife tacked on over 60k miles in about a year and a half on one of our cars while pioneering.
it still makes me ill thinking about it.
then i began to wonder how the recent gas price surge is affecting normal field service activities and meeting attendance.
nothing hotter than an apostate chick pumping up the tires on her ten-speed

P.S. unfortunately in canada, the workers have this stupid thing called "rights." helps them get away with way to much shit. also, Unions don't help the situation much either
hey ya people,.
hope all is well :) i know i havent posted much or atall really so sorry about that im just needing a little help i am i8 years old......., im just wondering because i am curretly friends with jw's and stuff (im not babtised though) and they keep sayng to me about the prohecies in the bible like the bible preticted ww1 to the exact date...religon is going to be banned in the great tribulation (then the end will happen) about the 7 global powers or something, and america now are the last superpower before the world ends, (anglo-saxon or something...) .
i just need help about these...are these true?
wow... where does one start? maybe by asking you some follow up questions:
what exactly are you scared of?
are your jw friends pressuring you to get baptised?
can your friends tell you where in the bible it says that WW1 would come on a certain date?
where do they get their info that the end will be here within 4 or 5 years? who told them that?
don't feel stupid for being scared of things like that... it is natural and many people feel the same way as you. i still have nightmares about armageddon and i have an equal fear of God and the Devil

having grown up in a jehovah's witness family, { quotes } came to the realization that what he was being raised to believe, wasn't standing up to scrutiny.
subsequently, he put together a fantastic website, simply showing primary resource material (stuff jw's say about themselves and their beliefs) then simply highlighted various points of interest... things to make you say "hmmm!
yes it does give out his name... but how can you announce your name on radio and expect it to be hidden else-where? what was the other book he mentioned? (not crisis of conscience)
