Cover Nwt
How accurate is the New World Translation REALLY.?
This results from a previous "question" about New World Translation (NWT) accuracy. I have read a significant amount of the NWT With References and find it to be a very useful study bible (my review here: http://www.jimpettis.com/bibles/nwt.htm ). I am not a JW or a KJV-only-er and so consider myself somewhat unbiased in this matter, but there are real degreed bible scholars on Y!A and I would like their opinion. I have read at least 5 versions cover-to-cover and have 4 more (including NWT) sitting here waiting for me. Is the NWT more accurate than the average bear (I mean, bible)? Why, specifically, yes? Why, specifically, no? Please support your answers with evidence, not "I like what my bible says better than I like what the NWT says". Thanks, Jim
Bad Translations of the Jehovah's Witness Bible,
the New World Translation (NWT).
1. Gen. 1:1-2 - "In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Now the earth proved to be formless and waste and there was darkness upon the surface of [the] watery deep; and God's active force was moving to and fro over the surface of the waters." (New World Translation, Emphasis added)
A.The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society denies that the Holy Spirit is alive, third person of the Trinity. Therefore, they have changed the correct translation of "...the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters," to say "...and God's active force was moving to and fro over the surface of the waters."
2. Zech. 12:10 - In this verse God is speaking and says "And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son" (Zech. 12:10, NASB).
.The Jehovah's Witnesses change the word "me" to "the one" so that it says in their Bible, "...they will look upon the one whom they have pierced..."
Since the Jehovah's Witnesses deny that Jesus is God in flesh, then Zech. 12:10 would present obvious problems--so they changed it.
3. John 1:1 - They mistranslate the verse as "a god." Again it is because they deny who Jesus is and must change the Bible to make it agree with their theology. The Jehovah's Witness version is this: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god."
4. Col. 1:15-17 - The word "other" is inserted 4 times. It is not in the original Greek, nor is it implied. This is a section where Jesus is described as being the creator of all things. Since the Jehovah's Witness organization believes that Jesus is created, they have inserted the word "other" to show that Jesus was before all "other" things, implying that He is created.
.There are two Greek words for "other": heteros, and allos. The first means another of a different kind, and the second means another of the same kind. Neither is used at all in this section of scripture. The Jehovah's Witness have changed the Bible to make it fit their aberrant theology.
5. Heb. 1:6 - In this verse they translate the Greek word for worship, proskuneo, as "obeisance." Obeisance is a word that means to honor, show respect, even bow down before someone. Since Jesus, to them, is created, then he cannot be worshiped. They have also done this in other verses concerning Jesus, i.e., Matt. 2:2,11; 14:33; 28:9.
6. Heb. 1:8 - This is a verse where God the Father is calling Jesus God: "But about the Son he says, ‘Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.'" Since the Jehovah's Witnesses don't agree with that they have changed the Bible, yet again, to agree with their theology. They have translated the verse as "...God is your throne..." The problem with the Jehovah's Witness translation is that this verse is a quote from Psalm 45:6 which, from the Hebrew, can only be translated as "...Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom." To justify their New Testament translation they actually changed the OT verse to agree with their theology, too!
The NWT translation is not a good translation. It has changed the text to suit its own theological bias in many places.
Interesting Quotes from Watchtower Literature
It is important to understand the psychological hold the Watchtower organization has in the life of the average Jehovah's Witness. The Watchtower organization is the guide, the teacher, and the expounder of correct doctrine. The average Jehovah's Witness attends several meetings each week where he is repeatedly indoctrinated to believe Watchtower doctrines. Every Jehovah's Witness thinks very much alike and has the same standard answers because they read from the same sources and are conditioned into the same way of thinking: the Watchtower way. So, if you've witnessed to one Jehovah's Witness, you've heard the same arguments they all will use.
In opposition to the Watchtower, according to the Bible, Jesus is the mediator between God and man (1 Tim. 2:5). He alone is the one who reveals truth (John 1:17), not the Watchtower organization. As you will read in these quotes, the Watchtower organization subtly takes the place of Jesus. Though it claims to bear witness of Him and point to Him, in reality it takes His place. This is typical for a cult.

Easy Life
Can anyone tell me if there is a company called Easy Life Direct Loans or is it a scam company?
There is a Mr Jerry William that sent me an email offering me a loan from the above company and I am just wondering if it is lagit or a scam company?
Sounds like a scam to me. Just remember any loan needs to be repaid, with interest. I would not trust any loan company that sends out spam. If you need a loan, talk to your bank or credit union.

Wine Bottle
Is half a bottle of wine too much in one night?
I'm 15 and my friend and I shared a wine bottle last night. We each had half, which is equivalent to 4 glasses? Was that too much? The wine was called Red Lady Grape Wine.
No that's not that much. But, unless you wanna get tore up, when drinking any alcohol, when you get sleep or hungry...eat and go to sleep.....that's the healthiest option at that point.

How do I play a dvd movie using the Xbox controller?
I want to use the xbox because my dvd machine isn't working, but the xbox is my older brother's, and he's out of town, so I don't know how to work it. What button on the controller do I press to make the movie play?
Is it an XBOX or XBOX 360? If it's an XBOX, you must have the DVD playback kit. If it's a 360, then controlls are self explanitory. From main menu on DVD, just point to your selection and press "A".
