@galveston75 saidI don't think I have ever met anyone who worships "a piece of stone or wood or even gold". Have you?
Putting ones hopes or concerns or anything of any sort into the hands of a piece of stone or wood or even gold for any reason is a slap on Jehovah's face.
@galveston75 saidThis is the reason your organization gave you for them not using experts in Biblical languages to translate the Bible?
Those so called wise ones are not who he deals with because of their mighty attitudes that most have. Jehovah cares nothing for that.
Because of the "mighty attitudes" of linguists?
That's what the JW organization told you about why they picked non-experts for the translation of the cusromized JW version of the Bible?
@fmf saidSorry you don't get it.....You didn't learn much about the bible while you did your time with the Catholics did you?

-Removed-It is neither and you don't get that now as you never have in the past.
If you have an article from the Watchtower Society that says yes or no, that is Jehovah's decision, not mine. If it says no, then it's no. If it's yes then it's yes.
I wish all humans would learn about Jehovah and adjust their beliefs that he approves. I hope you do too. But this is completely up to him and his son. Not me.
So try to use your brain and think about this for awhile because I will not speak to you again like I have many times in the past on this....................
@galveston75 saidIf you know anyone who worships "a piece of stone or wood or even gold", ask them to join this forum. It would be interesting to hear them talk about it.
I've answered that pretty clearly I thought. If you don't understand that then read your bible more starting with the 10 commandments will get you going on that search.
@galveston75 saidSo, according to you, followers of Jesus should not seek higher education or become experts or specialists or anything like that? The JWs were right to commission non-experts in Biblical languages to come up with a doctored version of the Bible [e.g. it's ideologically driven insertion of the word "Jehovah", as we have discussed before] because suitably qualified linguists would have had "mighty attitudes", is that what your organization has told you to say?
Sorry you don't get it.....You didn't learn much about the bible while you did your time with the Catholics did you?
@galveston75 saidI did, as a matter of fact. I also learned much from people who were ~ within the Catholic tradition and as followers of Jesus ~ living Christian lives and walking the walk that their faith demanded of them.
You didn't learn much about the bible while you did your time with the Catholics did you?
When you turn up here for one of your sporadic huffy visits to promote what you see as some of the unique selling points [doctrinally speaking] of your non-profit corporate organization and to say mean-spirited things about Christians who are not JWs, do you give any glimpse of you living a Christian life and walking the walk that your faith demands of you?
@fmf saidNo.
My faith in Jesus caused me to feel I had a relationship with God. It's surely pretty much the same for you, right?
"Faith" in what God has said is what causes one to experience spiritual regeneration, which is essential for a relationship with God to exist.
How one "feels" about that relationship is secondary, and another matter altogether.
Religious experience is the adding to or subtracting from the object of faith, which is, in Christianity, Christ crucified and His subsequent resurrection from the dead.
For the legalistic Christian it's Jesus plus the observance of the law in the form of ritual and tradition. For the deceived it's Jesus minus obedience to the Spirit of truth.
