Oh Bless God!! That was a good word, a good post!love, Neil
Jehovah's Witnesses have translated a corrupt Bible version called the New World Translation.
Was that sentence blasphemy? Or was it the truth?

Thanks Karl,Whew... you guys are taxing this poor moderator dude ([i]poor guy[/i]) ;-) Of course I am trying to lighten things up here a bit.In the other recent rant of want of expression was just trying to get some balance brought in here. It's not an either/or construct and not that it matters all that much in opinion, but some of the same things Karl is stating here were attempted there. Our newest member here, RecievedText and a warm welcome to you [i]again[/i] brother, is not out of line in what he brought forth originally, this is a topic ready on our lips because of recent developments. Had spoken with him a bit earlier and he was very cordial, being somewhat unfamiliar with the site and very appreciative of his understanding in what the attempts around here are.So to allude back to the 'plea' shall we not be so quick to make presumptions and also not so quick to be 'offended' all these things are not to sidestep anyone or accuse anyone, goodness it is toward the [i]whole[/i].Agree with both Chanin and even with Krispy and RT. There must be a better way of going about these things and maybe it is just in reading into to much that is said or misunderstanding the context or motives behind it all. Surely some of it could be couched in different language at times but shouldn't it all be taken into consideration?I know I am just as guilty of offering up a problem without a proposed solution and the sentiment is not towards doing away with anything because it is uncomfortable nor is it necessary to be blasting caps towards those that may be caught up in it. This particular issue is one where I cannot think of one disagreement that the 'system' is corrupt and frankly in many ways with more things being brought to consider even worse than we might have come to know. These things need not be dismissed or relegated to some kind of 'off limits' approach. There are terrible things being done in the name of our Lord and they are not limited to just the RCC, again the danger is in going to extremes, 'either/or', as soon as one brings this up the sense is to stop talking about it, an imaginary line is drawn in the sand and it feeds into the idea of taking 'sides', totally unnecessary. Same goes for the opposite, that by keeping it 'alive', it is open season to just beat the thing into the ground. Surely that in itself is a bit over the top as an example.Some of the pronouncements we could certainly do without, don't think that is an area we have any business meddling in and there is a need for some tact here, as Chanin well brought up, what of those who are caught up in these things?There are many other issues we have had strong discussions about here, the PDL, WOF, BH and it can get the best of us, while we lose sight of the people being affected.I don't have a perfect answer here for any of this, just caution and being aware of others, a bit to chew on and pray about.
