Individual books of the Bible
by PSacramento indoes anyone know where i can find all the books of the bible but as individual books and not all in one book ie: the bible?.
not commentaries, just the actual books and letters.. the translation kind of matters but i know that "beggars can't be choosers".. .

John of Patmos NOT John of the Gospels
by PSacramento inas we know, john and his brother james, along with peter, were the closest to jesus.. john, along with james and peter were the sole witnesses to jesus's transfiguration on the mountain.. it may have been this john that dictated the gospel of john and some scholars believe that there was john the apostle, john the elder and john of patmos, that all were different john's.. well, lets not go there right now, but in regards to john of patmos being john the apostle:.
john the aspostle saw jesus's transfiguration:.
the transfiguration.

Jesus and Bible Movies
by PSacramento inover the weekend i had a chance to see a few "jesus movies", and the 10 commandaments of course ( yul brenner steals that movie).. my family and i loved the gospel of john, by far our favorite "jesus movie".
king of kings is ok and the greatest story ever told is not a good representation, it lacked passion, lacke consistency and was not very well acted nor was it well written.. the mini-series, jesus of nazareth, was a good one too.. i was wondering if people had other recommendations..

The Memorial, what is wrong with it.
by PSacramento inok, my issue with the memorial i have put forth in another thread, but allow me to past them here:.
the memorial enfoces on them the power of the gb and of the "annointed" class, it is the total opposite of grace.. where god's grace is given free to all, the memorial is withedl from the majority.. god's grace tells us that no matter what we do, god loves us and if we belive, our salvation is in christ's hands.. the memorial is about the opposite, no matter what you have done, you are not worthy to partake on what was free given to all.. only the annointed can partake, the rest are not deserving.. if that is not a slap in the face of god's gift of grace, i don't know what is.. there they sit, all the "un-annointed", their heads hanging low, nomatter how many hourse they put in, how many loved ones they shunned, how many they have lost to the horrifc "no blood policy", they are not deserving to share in what jesus told all his believers to do.. the last supper was our lord's gift to us so that anytime we do it, we remember him.. when we say grace before our meal and we thank jesus for all his has done, for his sacrifice, we are partaking of his blood and body.. but even here the wt ignores jesus's commands and relegates him to the back with the rest.. horrific....

With Heavy Heart
by PSacramento insometimes we find a place and it feels like home, it is accepting and understanding.. then, sometimes, that place becomes cold and inhospitible.. when i first joined here i felt i have found a good place.. people like narkissos, leolaia and others impressed me with their knowledge of scripture and motivated me to learn more for myself.. others touched me with the stories of their pan and hurt, pain and hurt that i was feeling also.. i don't think i ever offended anyone with my views on christianity and if i have i sincerly apologise for that was not my intent.. but things change and sometimes home isn't home anymore.... this site had been invalable to me for my understanding what is wrong with the jw's relgion and the wt, it has strengthened my faith and belief.. here i found people of religon, faith and love.. here i found agnostics and athiest that challenged my views and made me question, they made me a believe via reason and not "blind faith".. for that, i thank all of you, especially the "jeff's" ( ak and alltime), i also say a special thanks to leavingthewt, many of his posts made me feel welcomed and made me think and be a better person.. chalam, bts, dd and so many others, i thank you from my heart for your kind words over these many months.. people like mary and sylvia and so many others filled my heart with love with their stories.. all the best to you my dear brothers and sisters.. .

Family Bible
by PSacramento inmy wife wants me to get a nice family bible for us.. i have interlinears and study bibles but she wants a "simple one", lol !.
i know which types she wants - harcover, with a lacth, beautiful old drawings, the kind that i h ave to sell a kidney to get !.
i think that i would like a nice hardcover, leather one, i don't know the difference between genuine and bonded leather.. i would like some nice illustrations, i always find those old time black and white drawings in some older bible so beautiful.. i think a niv verison is good for the whole family ( easy to read and understand) and those with a thumb index would be great too !.
