  xJWs--Do You Read The Bible Anymore?

  by love2Bworldly in

  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.

  I still read the Bible but as literature not as a "lamp to my foot"

  The best answer to the question, Do you read the Bible? is from General George Patton who replied, "Every God damned day!"

  Major League Soccer in the US now has a team owned by Mexicans "FC Chivas" in Los Angeles and hopes to attract more Mexican owners and eventually European owners.

  I have been a fan of MLS Soccer since it began and hope the league continues to grow.

  Can US Rugby be far behind?

  1 Kings Capter 12 tells the story of how the ten northen tribes seceded from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin because Solomons' son Rehoboam ignored the counsel of Solomon's advisers to lighten the burden on the people.

  are there any beliefs that you still hold onto, or at least believe in still.

  or have you totally rejected everything you once believed whilst in the "truth" >?

  i still believe that a new system will happen after armageddon.

  littlerockguy:

  I always answered this question by saying that since we will be perfect we would be too careful to have such accidents.

  It is like the question for Elders about running short on time while conducting the Watchtower study, do you just read the paragraphs? or just ask the questions and not read the paragraphs? The answer is, if you are an Elder you do not get in that situation.

  Before I realized the Bible is a book of fairy tales I held on to some of the basic Watchtower teachings. For the three years I was a Christian and the five years that I practised Judaism I thought that,

  God is not a Trinity.

  The Soul is mortal.

  There will be a Paradise Earth.

  mine was when my mom signed me up to sit at a table at our local university.

  we had to sit there and talk to students as they passed by our table.

  a few people came up to start a conversation and i didn't even know what they were talking about.

  As a High School student at a basketball game in Kalispel, Montana in 1975 I had to sit through both the US and Canadian national anthems, the indignant whispers became loud mocking jeers.

  At work in Texas in 1985 I was the only person not to donate blood for the son of a co-worker injured in an oil well expolsion.

  Unfortunately my copy was thrown away by a brother with no sense of humor, but not before I showed it to several friends at the Kingdom Hall.

  In the 1924 book, The Way To Paradise, by Van Amburgh a man asked where does the power come from to run all the labor saving devices in the Paradise Earth. The answer is, "We take it all from the fresh air and sunshine!"

  In the 1970's the National Lampoon printed a satire of Awake! entitled Wise Up!

  It had a picture of a paradise Earth where the faithfull are enjoying BLTs and the wicked are transformed into reptiles.

  The election of Chester A. Arthur as President was included in a chart of events foretold in the Bible.
