'In Union' Help please
by SammyJoUK inok, i know that this topic must be in the archives somewhere, but i can't find it so here i am asking for help.. i have a web page that i have set up to show the 53+ times that the wt have mistranslated "in you" and "in me" to say "in union with ".. http://www.agapeacceptance.co.uk/union.htm.
i have both kit's so i don't need some one to tell me that's the way to show the error, i can do that.
however, most jw's just tell you that the translation committee knew what they were doing when they made all 53 into "in union with", and they fob you off.. does anyone know of a web page that looks at this in more detail and especially has reputable greek scholars comment on what they have done.. many thanks for any help.

JW's using apostate literature?
by SammyJoUK inok, hi and firstly if you get to see this more than once i apologise, but then i don't have a lot of choice, i need help quickly if possible.. i have a friend that i have been witnessing to for the past 6 years.. she has been in the witnesses for 25 years and yet god is moving.
an example of this, and it is by no means the best one, is that this week she put through my door two christian tracts that had been put together by sgm international ( http://www.infocomp.torun.pl/sgm/ ) .
the ones she gave me where not ones containing doctrinal issues, but basic gospel ones.. .

Not sure I count for much?
by SammyJoUK inhello to all ........ .......and after two weeks trying to work out what is going on here i think i have it.. possibly... and if i have sorted it out, then i think i am welcome to post here with my little story.. i have never been a jw, but looking back i thank god that something stopped me, because i came real close.. in 1993 my life was at rock bottom, ... girl friend had left me for another man, taken our son and disappeared.... no job.. no where to live (literally).... and various adictions, mainly gambling and drink... (ohh that's part of the reason she left, although many have said that i did more around the house than this girl i was with.. )anyway i digress.. at this time i had few friends, but one that i could always turn to was carol.
she was bubbly lady, divorced, teenage child, lots of 'stuff' going on, but what a laugh.. now carol was 'studying', and now and then i would arrive in the middle or just before a meeting.
i actually stopped and listened twice, but none of what was being taught went in, it all seemed wrong.. i should say that she had been sttudying for a long time, a very long time and i'll give credit where credit is due.. this elder that was coming to see her had some staying power...lol.
