Wow. I meant what I said and there was no "inadvertent blurting" of anything.
So you claim to have some "higher knowledge" of Bible translation and yet you make mistake after mistake? I am not going to give you a history of Jacob and Rachael and Bilhah and Reuben and Dan, even though that would explain it. Do your own freaking homework.
Your first ...[text shortened]... g God to provide him a son, and so Ishmael was born, causing his descendants no end of troubles.
So can you give a number of these mistakes made that you either like or don't like? A few, tens, hundreds? At what count would you accept? Only "0"?
Did Jehovah turn his head on his people because of mistakes in the past? How many in your mind is acceptable for him to condemn us by?
So with you and some others here you expect perfection from imperfect humans? Really? But as is the case with you as well as the others here and as well as every JW on the planet, none of us are perfect.
But that's not good enough for you and others so you now are a judge for God and condemn ones who do all they can to follow his laws every single day and will not compromise in that faith even to the death?
I hope God doesn't judge you that harshly......
Also it would seem smart that if a person were really looking for the truths in the bible and wanted to "progress" spiritually, they wouldn't be so quick to judge and condemn ones who are progressing with their spirituality.

...as well as your over all postings from the past.

-Removed-Humm odd? Really? Ok if you think that but I have lots of friends that I don't always stay in touch with on a regular basis.
If I'm doing what I can to say work on my car and need advice I will probably contact one of my long time friends that I may not have spoken to in a while, or if I'm going to travel somewhere that a friend I have either lives there or has been there, I might email them for questions about that place. Likewise if I'm wanting to play chess or just see what's going on in the forums here, I just might message Robbie to say hey or something like that. I have very few friends that I actually talk to on an everyday basis.
So....does this shed light on my lack of visiting with Robbie on a regular basis? Let me know if it doesn't, OK?
