Love your videos . They help me heal from my previous JW life. I listen daily to one of your podcast while I clean my kitchen and do other house chores ❤
Well said! Thank you for sharing your insights & perspectives. I'm always learning new things from your channel. Very much appreciate your time & effort.
Good video man! Good points and funny enough this is what got me started to doubt the Witnesses and then ultimately everything else because I was (still am) a big nerd. I used to have different copies of bibles in my possession when I was in. I actually spent money at the time, went to Barnes & Nobles, and bought different translations in order to study the differences in translations. (Despite the elders and my parents telling me I didn't need to since the NWT was the most accurate translation) A good example that started to shake me was with how birthdays are written in the NWT in a "negative light". Well, Job 1:4 in the NIV mentions how his sons would hold feats on their "birthdays", so Jehovah's best example of unshakable faith allowed his family to celebrate their birthdays?! Hmmmm!!! (lol) Stuff like that are what started me on a journey that ultimately led me out of not just the Witnesses but all religious/superstitious beliefs.
For anyone who can get their hands on a Kingdom Interlinear, look at the interlinear and compare it to the NWT on the right hand side of the page. Its amazing how many times the two are different. You look at it and wonder how they came up with that when the translated Greek doesn't agree. Much of the NWT is filled with brackets [ ] with a word inserted to change the context or meaning of the scripture.
Didn’t know i was going to enjoy this video as much as i did. Very clear and interesting approach to this important subject. Thank you i learned something new about my former faith
I remember a guy (I forgot his name) threatening lawsuits against GB because they tried to edit his work (Sliver Bible) in the 1990s; they actually waited until he passed away and released it. I believe they removed Trinity and others.
@@Nica-Ra-Wata Astronomy !......I can't begin to tell you how many times stupid ass witness said ,We don't believe in that brother when I talked about astronomy !!!....I honestly can't take it no more ...I own three telescopes and twenty star ,planet or moon charts ....They are the stupidest people in the charted universe !
Rather boring fella...read watchtower bible... Deuteronomy 28... ALOUD.. dude.. you’re dealing with witchcraft.. sociopathic sorcery... otherwise keep on babbling away to a few still in the metric..all your talk . boy keeps the Sheeple Sleeping 😴
They changed the ending to Jehoshpat's daughter simply because they knew how bad it makes God look so they just made up a new wholesome ending where God doesn't make Jehoshpat go through with his vow and she just goes and becomes a Priestess and everyone has a yearly reunion with her. Now go read the story in every other Bible.
Yes I remember them doing that. When I was in my congregation the elders used that as an example of letting your yes mean yes and no mean no. Then later down the years there was an WT articles discussing how symbolically it meant his daughter went to serve in the temple indefinitely.....ok 🙄
I love your videos Wally, and your straight forward message. A great book to get on slavery is Josh Bowen's book on the subject. And his wife and him have a website called Digital Hammurabi, and has several videos to watch and truly educate yourself. He also has made a book on learning how to read the Sumerian language!
@@exjehovahswitness Yes its Derek, and so glad he is able to get so many "real" scholars on his show. I have learned far more in the little time about the book, than I ever did as a cult member! I just watched the docu on the Marketing the Messiah, and it showed when, how, what, and who was considered the true Messiah of the day. Even how Christianity got its beginning, hint it was by some man called Jesus! If you want to watch it look up Moconomy on TH-cam.
Definitely LOVE the Wally rants!!! They’re spot on what I always found frustrating! A couple things that I found problems with the NWT was how we were to tell people that it’s one of the most accurate translations available. But based on? It was proven in court (decades ago) that Not one of the “scholars” from the Watchtower writing committee responsible for this version, had any training in either Hebrew or Greek. #2 - The very first version of their New Testament, during the very early days of Watchtower, was written/translated by a “scholar” Johannes Greber. Information on him can be found by searching his name in the WT Online Library. He wrote the forward in the 1980 edition of the NWT, and is quoted as an authority in the Watchtower magazine articles, the Questions from Readers and the most popular Aid to Bible Understanding book. This man was a Catholic priest who later became interested in spiritism. With the help of his wife, who claimed to be a spirit medium, began to “channel” the spirits during seances. They enlisted a young boy who would “communicate” what was said by these spirits to get “clarification” on the more troublesome verses in the traditional Bible that contradicted WT theology. He wrote a book about these spiritually enlightening changes in the 30’s called “Communication with the Spirit World”. Now we all know that we were always told to stay away from anything having to do with spiritism, but yet this is the biblical “scholar” Watchtower used to justify the changes to the Bible in key places. Like John 1:1, Mat 27: 52-53 for example. His original book is hard to come by, but I managed to find it via an inter-library loan back in the 90’s. It was creepy to say the least! But the later Watchtower articles expose this guy! Of course, they fail to mention that this guy was responsible for their own New Testament! #3 - We were told to tell others at the door, that they can use the their own Bible but eventually there’s that sly transition from theirs to the NWT. We were told that they’ve just updated the Bible to a make it more reader friendly and easier to understand. And #4 - We all believed this to be true!! So much so, that we convinced the householders of this to the point that they ditched any other translations they owned. After all “It’s the same as the rest, just took out the old archaic language!” And Shhh, just a few other words/phrases that completely change the meaning of the passage. Example... changing “Grace” to “Underserved kindness”. Keeping it more about working for WT vs. a Free gift that doesn’t require works. LOL 😂 I could go on for hours! Thanks for listening to this “Rant ~by Rachelle”!!! Thanks again for your videos Wally! Have a great day! 🥰
#1 and #2 are incorrect. FYI, Johannes Greber died in 1944. 3 years before the translation of the NWT commenced. FYI, χαρις does mean “undeserved kindness.” Hope this helps.
I do love the channel and have watched every single one of your videos and plan on continuing to do so. One of the beauties of not being a JW is being able to express my opinion and maybe even not agreeing on everything. In this video you said that the JW bible is "not that bad." This is where I disagree. Anytime a religion tweaks the bible to fit their doctrine, it is in fact "that bad." I will use a quote that WT used recently in their weekday meeting, "If its 10% wrong, its 100% misleading." This goes both ways. When WT used this quote it was in reference to non-authorized website or apps. Just as "apostates" can and sometimes do mislead others, WT does exactly the same thing when it alters the bible to fit their narrative. The hypocrisy is truly astounding within the organization.
I may be too easily distracted cause now all I am thinking after hearing you play video games is: I wonder what system he games on? How much fun would it be to game with Wally, I bet a lot. Good video on the Bible translation discrepancies. They get on everyone’s case for taking out gods name but then they add it in where is shouldn’t have been.
Right away this video made me think the publication "What does the Bible REALLY teach" it was intro to the Bible they wrote being veriby tge publications they wrote!! There's a video idea for your next rant! I love your rants! I sit there talking back to you as if you're here with me! Mostly in my mind when I'm watching you in my phone with ear buds it!!😂😅😂😅😂😂😂😂😂
Wally I enjoy your rants. Your analysis of the jahoho nut club as well as Abrahamic religion is spot on. Did you ever wonder why WT does not call their bible The Bible? After all they are a printing company and they should be able to. They can't . The changes they've made to the text run into legal constraints. It's also not a translation according to Bible and linguistic scholars. It's like Bubba and Ray Ray made a holy book. With the Jdubs guys like Lett ,Tight Pants Tony, Heard and other egotistical goons have superimposed Biblical text. Thank you for putting a little Wally light on the subject.
Wally, I talked about sexual abuse and its aftermath (when hiding doesn't work anymore) in 1999. The Watchtower, and my fellow elders had no answers and couldn't be affectionate. I needed nurtures and nourishment, but none of that. Younger brothers did not understand, most were kind and listened. But I could not stay in an abusive marriage (1 Corinthians 5:1) and escaped. But I was kidnapped and taken hostage by my loving brothers and sisters and put in a mental clinic. "my mouth was sealed". ... Later when I got my resignation I moved on, and never RETURNED to my former congregation! ... CONLUSION: THE WATCHTOWER IS THE CURRENT PHARAOH, with a hardened heart...changing the bible...how dare they in the 21st century🕉🙏🏻💥💞
Here's a question for JWs: What is the value in the Bible's inerrancy if faithful worshippers cannot progress on the road to life by just reading and accepting it for what it says but are obligated to accept erroneous interpretations of it from the fallible and uninspired faithful and discrete slave?
@@proverbsproverbs4227 This is about the trinity (which I don't believe). It in no way answers my question. The trinity is wrong *and* JWs are wrong. You give the very typical evasive tactic of trying to distract from your own errors by pointing to the errors of others. You have to tear down others to appear to justify yourself. The fact that you can't answer the question and have to divert to the faults of others in a bid to make your religion look good, is an indictment against your religion.
How you present your videos is great! I always felt off with God hardening Pharaoh's heart when I was in. Anyways I know this book is more bible DLC than actual canon but it is mention in Jude and that is the book of Jasher. Read the 33rd chapter and that story will send your head for a loop , It actually states that the Lord gave counsel to Simeon and Levi to trick and lie in order to slaughter a whole village for vengeance. Makes you wonder who is actually the villain of the bible 🤔 Anyways take care !
Good point! Of course, the NWT is not the only translation with questionable wordings in many places. Further more, it is not only many christians who are biased, but there are actually some places with known contraditions where different traslators have leaned on different appologetics when translating. This is in some some cases a tradition. So even though the NWT is perhaps especially problematic in certain places, this is a more general problem. By the way, the worst thing I know is when chriastians say JW:s arre mislead and then go on preaching their own interpretation on a matter - sometimes even with the exact same reasong as JW. When they do that I know that I am dealing with people that are exactly the same as JW! "They are so bad, but we are right!" A typical example of this is when discussing original sin.
Christian Greek Scriptures do not mention the name Jehovah once. NOT ONCE !!!! JW's admit to adding the divine name to places they think it should go, basically when they are quoting the old testament.
The shortened version of the devine name is found in the Christian Greek scriptures. Hallelujah (/ˌhælɪˈluːjə/ HAL-i-LOO-yə) is a transliteration of the Hebrew phrase הַלְלוּ יָהּ, it means to praise Jah (from הַלְלוּ, "praise;" and יָהּ, Jah.). The word hallel in Hebrew means a joyous praise in song. The second part, Jah, is a shortened form of YHWH (Jehovah or Yahweh in modern English), the name of the creator. The term is used four times in the Christian Book of Revelation were praise to Jehovah is made known.
Awesome video Wally! I always enjoy learning these new nuggets of info. The most egregious whitewashing that JWs do is the story of Jephthah's daughter. He clearly made a vow to offer the first person as a burnt offering in judges 11:31. JW claims she served at temple and she would get "commendation" by the daughters of Israel yearly in judges 11:40. Other bibles clearly says they lamented or mourned yearly! It's such a terrible story yet they included it in the "My Book of Bible stories". Child sacrifice was more common than we'd like to believe.
I feel your pain dude! Imagine the frustration the church that actually gave us the bible has every time she hears one of the other thousands of other interpretations you spoke about that dont agree with each other. 🤦♂️ peace!
Speaking of the New World Translation, why is it still called that? The Society long ago changed the cultspeak in that the term "New World" is no longer used. Today, it's called the New System of Things, or, the New Order, isn't it? If they were consistent, perhaps it should be renamed to be the New Order Translation. I think they might go for The New System Translation, first, because The New Order Translation sounds rather fascist, and second, well, th-cam.com/video/71ZHVmSuBJM/w-d-xo.html
How about "The New World Order Translation?" I mean now that they're fully obeying the god of this system and jabbing people at the kingdom halls. Yeah I think it's the perfect red pill title for their bible.😉
@@exjehovahswitness Jesus christ said people will hate and speaking liars about his only true followers Jehovah's witnesses Mathew 5:10-12,24:9,John 15:18-21,Luke 6:22-23,but nothing satan and his people can do to stop Jehovah's witnesses because Jehovah God is with them Isaiah 8:10,54:17,and Jesus christ is with them Mathew 28:18-20.
Thats exactly what I did ,shame on me. I am so glad I have been D/F( After I told them I don't want to be associated) I can no longer be tarred with the same brush as the Org . I can at least apologise for being so stupid. "Get out of her my people" advice to my good friends still in
It takes a lot of self awareness and courage to admit that. The cognitive dissonance in JWs make them the most stubborn to accept facts and allow critical thinking skills so good for you.
Jeptha's daughter! I spent all my time as a JW 'rationalising' and explaining away all the capricious, vindictive, egotistical, cruel and just plain nasty things that Jehovah did!! Eventually it wore me out! Great work, Wally!
It's the worst translation ever according to Bible scholars. Julius H Mantey called a distortion not a translation. See " This is what an actual Bible Scholar thinks of the Jehovas Witnesses Bible " Kristy Aun
I think it's important to have different perspectives...and new perspectives. Maybe there's a little truth in each. The bible seems to interpret itself usually. For example: The book of Daniel has a list of kings starting every chapter. Match this with history and the correct order is: Daniel 1,2,3,4,7,8,10,12,5,6,11,9 Also, esther, ezra, lamentations, nehemiah should be after Daniel because they lived during the persians and after the 2nd temple was built...and nehemiah rebuilt it again. This info I provided is void of any emotional interpretation. These things are facts you can verify. Daniel was written by different people from 600 to 400 BC. This should change how you view the whole bible. There's no way to deny this truth is there? What's your perspective?
The point is different perspectives are important. This info actually goes with real history that can be proved. What book do you know that's not in chronological order? Who writes books with the beginning mixed with the middle at the end? I thought the romans destroyed the temple? Then what was nehemiah doing rebuilding the walls of the 2nd temple? We should never let TNTBR - the need to be right to stop us from learning something new.
It's simple...they want their bible to support their biased teachings. It's why they leave out entire parts like John 8:1-11. Can't have a chapter showing how non judgmental and forgiving Jesus REALLY was.....especially toward a woman! (Gasp!) That doesn't support how they want to be able to judge people as "sinners" when Jesus himself didn't even do it. Their god is unloving as the entire Hebrew scriptures can attest to. It is what it is.✌
for sure! I just wished that all people offering commentary on the bible took the same critical approach that they have towards others on themselves. That was a very sloppy sentence but I reackon you know what I mean
@@reluctantheist5224 The New World Translation leaves way more than just that out. To leave something out because they "think" it was an addition is presumptuous as well. No original manuscripts of the bible books have ever been found, only copies. So to leave so many things out of one specific translation when so many others include it is very suspicious indeed!🤔
Here's a great irony: Motivated by a need to portray their god in the best possible light, in a number of verses, Watchtower has given questionable renderings that aren't accurately in line with what the Hebrew text actually says. Yet, I've seen footnotes in the very same NWT study Bible that comment on scribes altering the wording of certain verses because they felt the original wording portrayed YHWH in a less than dignified light. Watchtower's translation of the Bible is guilty of doing the same thing that the very same translation comments on ancient scribes doing! lol.
Couldn't wait to finish the video to comment. I like the NWT very much as a translation. I miss the old green one i grew up with. I think it's got quite a lot of accurate renderings. It's pretty lousy for reading though, for that i prefer the NJB. Worst bible ever is the NIV, yuck. I remember an elder taking me into the hall library and teaching me what an imprimatur on a catholic bible was, which actually led me to purchase a few, and the 1996 new catechism, as most of our territory was catholic. Ive said for years if i were to get knocked on the head really hard and believe in god again I'd have to be a catholic, they seem the most honest about bible scholarship.
Freddie Franz was a total nutcase but i have to admit his translation was a damned good work, and the 1984 study bible you held up was great. Ever look at a Baptist study bible? They're completely full of shit.
I do think that catholics tend to be more open to dealing with the issues in the bible and with their faith, but they are a criminal organization as well.... so there is that
Nwt got a lot right after all. The whole I AM thing for instance. I have no problem with John 1:1 "a god" either. I do have a bit of a problem with the verse in i think it's Isaiah about inflamed horse testicles though.
@@exjehovahswitness who isn't a criminal organization? That's kind of my point, you have to be disingenuous and knocked upside the head to be religious and believe any of that crap. So if i turned out that way, I'd end up catholic.
Hello this is the first video I have discovered on your channel. IMO instead of telling us what JWs believe about their Bible, you should quote them directly. That way you don’t risk a bad faith misrepresentation
Thus, the Holy Bible of which Jehovah God is the one Author was completed by means of his witnesses, even as it had been begun by means of them. Consequently, with no room allowed for Scriptural contradiction, it may be said that The Holy Bible is the Book by Jehovah's witnesses. As Revelation 19:6 exclaims, "Hallelujah!"
The jws is anyone else who trys to explain the Bible to fit their views always has to say ' you see the Word used here means this " but they disregard what the whole Scriptures cpntext is . This is why we all need to read the Scriptures for ourselves ( if we believe or don't believe in God) so we can get the understanding for out self The Bible has spoken about these people who will twist God's Words 1 Timothy 6:4 he is puffed up with pride and does not understand anything. He is obsessed with arguments and debates about words. These things give rise to envy, strife, slander, wicked suspicions
🙂I just recently found you Wally and find your rants interesting. I have found that Arminian Apologists tend to do this as well. On the topic of Pharaoh they say, "GOD didn't Harden Pharaoh's heart ON PURPOSE"! (They'll bring up Sun and Clay and Wax) Or they'll say, "Well he did it on purpose, BUT only after giving Pharoah a lot of chances to repent". (That is nowhere in Scripture! They have Added [A LOT] to The Bible.) Obviously, as you have relayed here, Yahweh/Jehovah/GOD did do it "On Purpose" that purpose is as Paul states, "to demonstrate His Sovereignty" etc. 🤓 Further proof is that the words in the Hebrew and the Greek (in Paul's telling of this event) are using the ACTIVE Forms of those verbs! (In English we don't have Active and Inactive verb forms so we have to deduce by context.) 😳 NOTE to the Listener: The Bible defines SLAVERY as a voluntary thing. 🤓 According to Yahweh's (Jehovah's) law, people can allow themselves to go into "slavery" if they owe more money than they can pay. The law sets a certain amount of time for this slavery until they are freed. However some slaves decide to become permanent slaves to their masters and this is marked by putting a large hole in the earlobe. (How things have changed.) 😳 I'm pretty sure this is in Deuteronomy and perhaps elsewhere in the Torah.
If you're going to argue like this, you have to talk about the Hebrew and the Greek, or interview someone who can. All translations rely on assumptions about the intent of the author.
84,ex Jesuit. Your dialogue, evidence, logic, and conclusion are all excellent, just tighten up the delivery and don’t be afraid to rant! There are 88 contemporary English VERSIONS of the Judeo-ChristianBible (not to mention the Vugate) and 34,000 denominations and sects of the Judeo-Christian faith. The JW’s, who only number 8.2 million, are the only ones who know God?…such arrogance. I would like to see the certification of the philologist who did the translation, because any Rabbinic Scholar will admit the ancient Hebrew language is difficult to translate.
@@exjehovahswitness when you change Grace to undeserved Kindness ,and Cross to torture stake ,and Believe to Exercising faith ....It's not hard to see a deliberate mistranslation ...,and a Bible study who I gave the Kingdom Interlinear to in 1989 pointed it out to me that these Greek words were inconsistently mistranslated .....WHY ?.....To Mislead !
@@exjehovahswitness I still know this former bible study ....drove by his house today ....I ditched him a couple of years ago because he can be a bogart ....my stash is my stash ....🤪🤪🤪👍......He was a White Wizard !
I had someone the other day tell me that they were a Christian and that the Bible specifically supports abortion, homosexuality, and transgenders. I mean, if you want to believe all that stuff is fine I have NOTHING against your opinion but to try and say the Bible supports your position is a really bad joke.
I am NOT saying it exactly as it is in the BIBLE, I know The HEAVENLY FATHER said since you know so MUCH about himself maybe he should set BACK and question ❓❓❓⁉️⁉️ you!!! Those who know the Scripture know what I'm talking about.
Good points, why are they not challenged on that alone. They claim to have the truth, however the very one that is responsible for teaching all truth. Amazingly they even misconstrue the whole Bible. How can everyone else get our wrong, but read the same and interpreted as stated.. That's just straight sorcery at its best, just like their true father.. Just saying, it's funny and sad at the same time..
Thank God, that's the main reason, when studying with the witness, The facts about Jesus words to Nichodemus, you must be born again... What else could you possibly read into the actual statement, he didn't studder..
I bought my dad a fathers day gift and told him it was "undeserved kindness". That's a JW selected word to substitute for "grace". Every bible has an agenda. The Governing body showed their agenda to replace Christ in 2 Cor 5:20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, [Substituting for Christ] as though God were making his appeal through us[as Substitutes for Christ]. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God." [Substituting for Christ] [as Substitutes for Christ] have been added by the Governing body to make people think that it was okay back then to replace/substitute for Christ so it should be okay now🤷 When you make God angry he will play into your pridefulness and stubbornness making you even more so, holding you for the moment of severe punishment. When God made Pharoahs son Moses like a God to him. This made Pharaoh even more stubborn. Ex 7:1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet." God means Authority. Pharaoh felt like he was the most high authority and no one was above him. So God put his son above Pharaoh. This is hardening a person's heart.
God sounds like a horrible figure of anxiety and stress in your description. Why would he lean into our worst traits and exploit them so he can snap the jaws of life down on us at the end...it’s just so predatory. A personality only a mother could love that Yahweh.
@@eatenbyjezebel5604 Sounds like you have more sympathy for the wicked. Pharaoh killed little babies by drowning them in the Nile and Moses escaped that genocide because of Pharoahs daughter. God can chose when to deliver justice or hold it back depending on the person. God gave fair chance with the passover so if anyone obeyed they wouldn't lose their child. They should have recognized and obeyed the most high God from witnessing the earlier 9 plagues. If your next thought is more sympathy for the wicked then don't respond.
Mad Hatter God could have punished Pharoah then. Much like he could and doesn’t punish Satan in this story. Wickedness had never excused genocide especially the extinction of children because we’ve scientifically proven that wickedness is not inheritable. Additionally, If I can’t abort my gang rapists fetus then god can’t kill the children of the wicked and call himself moral. I do very much have empathy for people branded wicked, knowing that wicked actions and choices are not biblically wickedness deserving of death. I have been raped, beaten, drowned and forced into a pregnancy that nearly killed me when I wasn’t allowed blood so don’t talk about wicked, my rapist is being protected by christians so don’t talk to me about evil, I work to save people’s lives in a profession that is deemed wicked because my ministry report card says 30 and not 70, I have always been labelled wicked, for eyeliner and band tshirts and concerts and girlfriends, Christians are the least but qualified to determine who is wicked and the Yahweh fanfiction called the bible that forgot to forbid the owning and selling of people and ordered his faves to rape and slaughter children is the last person in all of fiction who should ever be in control of justice.
@@eatenbyjezebel5604 I'm sorry for all you've been through. Jehovahs witness are a Satanic religion and they are not God himself. In 36 months from now you will see these "Christians" go through plagues and fire, wishing to die but they wont find death. You have much to be angry about. I won't say anymore but I will mourn with you for what was taken from you.
Hi Wally..Yes-Father does many of these things...Look at the account of Samson.Father had him fall in love with a particular woman so as to get at the Phillistines...Poor Samson. WT similar to Catholic in changing scriptures and saying they are ok doing it...They need to study Revelations 22.. Also,doesnt the Bible say Father is a jealous God,exacting exclusive devotion and disposed to rage??Is Christ Jesus not the image of the invisible God??(All from the scriptures)Does not aPsalm say>>Kiss the Son,for his anger flares up easily and you might perish from the way??
TO ALL JW's, The Governing Body's latest ""change"" in there newest ""silver Bible"" is Micah 6:8, In there older Bible Micah 6:8 state's : And what is Jehovah requiring of you? Only to exercise justice, and to>>> Love kindness
Again. There is a difference between God's way of slavery and Satan's way. All YOU know today is Satan's way of slavery. Was God ok with Satan's way of slavery? Luke 17 shows Jesus is scolding those who treat their Slaves/servants Satan's way. 7“Now which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him after he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and recline at the table to eat’? 8On the contrary, will he not say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, and properly [h]clothe yourself and serve me while I eat and drink; and [i]afterward you [j]may eat and drink’? 9He does not thank the slave because he did the things which were commanded, does he? 10So you too, when you do all the things which were commanded you, say, ‘We are [k]unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.’” Basically Jesus is addressing how they'd rather treat their slave. Then Jesus says, in plain English: "If I am your master then who do you think you are to me? Should I treat YOU this way also?" When Elijah was to go into town and find his successor Elisha, he found him pulling a plow by himself while his slaves were each pulling their own plows. Owners of land shared everything with their Slaves. If the owner slept in a nice house then the slave slept in a nice house. If the owner of the land ate good food the slave or servant ate the same good food. They shared everything, even the growth and success of business. The way you think of slavery is Satan's way not God's. Jesus shares his success with us. He shares EVERYTHING with us as our Master. If God's people wanted to live like the nations did then God let them fall into Satans way of slavery by the hands of the nations.
The correct translation should be Pharaoh will harden his heart. God is pre warning Moses what is going to happen. God doesn’t harden anyone’s heart. All translations of the original Bible are incorrect .
I preface this by saying I’m no longer a xtain. When it came to the hardening of his heart, god did harden his heart. He may have allowed him to make up his own mind but the reason why it wasn’t ultimately pharaohs fault, as god supposedly created pharaoh. And god created him knowing he would harden his heart. Thus it’s gods fault for making him that way................. But I get what You were talking about. The watchtower/witnesses are very Orwellian when it comes to their version of the bible. One year 2+2=4. And the next year 2+2=5. And the bloody excuse they use is supposed “new light” . Also they arrogantly declare their bible is the one and only correct bible. That the other bibles are corrupted or that the persons who wrote those bibles misunderstood or got wrong what the original texts were when it came to translating biblical sources ( I mean once upon time ago the witnesses used to celebrate xmas. But when rutherford put an end to that) And they re-write and reinterpret their own bible once so often just suit the desires of 8 old men. So one day that’ll be a Starbucks coffee cup the next day it’s a coconut water cup. And the watchtower will blatantly tell you it’s never been a coffee cup it’s always been a coconut water cup.......... ⚛️☮️🌏
The bible itself is a false doctrune! I mean its one of many religious books that have their merit but written by god and all that depends on faith and no proof. But i like your video
Stop calling it new translation its not its an interpretation ‘they have a jw greek interliear printed by wt that contradicts their bible ‘ all the altered verses are in the interlinear but some of the removed scriptures are not ‘ when you read the jw version you notice it jumps from say 12 to 16 so you have to look at a bible to see what verses are missing ‘many scriptures are missing that dont fit their doctrine ‘
the hard thing is we do not have a original bible. We have copies of copies of copies of copies by anonymous writers that have been changed over time, written in dead languages, and preseved by various people with varying agendas. So what I do is read 5 different translations and make my best guess.
All translations are wrongs because we dont have the original one those which uses other cults contains wrongs too as the name of God.replaced by lord trinity being adopted by torting words of bible.
🎺🎺MY KINGDOM MINISTRY FOR MY GOD JEHOVAH AND JESUS CHRIST🎺🎺 I know Jehovah witnesses have been taught a lie that heaven is meant for a 144,000 people... but the only place that there's a specific number mentioned of those who go to heaven is in Revelation and it gives a number of 144000 to go to heaven for specific purpose to be Kings and priests for a 1000 years(but notice 1st Corinthians comes before revelation we read the Bible from front to back not Back to front)... JW's have been taught 1st Corinthians is only addressed to the 144,000(or the annointed) but notice in 1st Corinthians 1 who Paul is directing this letter to 1st Corinthians 1:2 to the congregation of God that is in Corinth, to you who have been sanctified in union with Christ Jesus, called to be holy ones, together with all those everywhere who are calling on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ..(we know the holy ones are the annoited but he also added in, "together with all those everywhere who are calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ" so this is for everybody who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, this is who this letter is addressed to skip to 1st Corinthians 6:10 thieves, greedy people, drunkards, revilers, and extortioners WILL NOT INHERIT GOD’S KINGDOM(all servants of Jehovah will inherit God's Kingdom, that's our goal to get into that Kingdom) skip ahead to 1st Corinthians 15:44 It is sown a physical body; it is raised up a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual one(the scripture says if there is a physical body there is a spiritual one that is a definite) 1st Corinthians 15 However, what is spiritual is not first. What is physical is first, and afterward what is spiritual. 47 The first man is from the earth and made of dust; the second man is from heaven(it says that our first life is from the earth, our second life is from heaven, although we will still inherit the Earth because the Bible says that but just like Jesus could transfigure a spiritual body on the mountain, as a perfect person, showing us that it can be done as a perfect person, we will also be able to form a spiritual body once we have perfected our physical bodies...have you ever thought about what the tree of life was supposed to do for Adam and Eve? We could have lived forever without ever eating from the tree of Life. Jehovah God said the only reason why Adam and eve died is because they ate from the tree of knowledge (what was the tree of life supposed to accomplish?) JEHOVAH tells us: Genesis 3:22 Jehovah God then said: “Here the man has become like one of us in knowing good and bad. Now in order that he may not put his hand out and take fruit also from the tree of life and eat and live forever(THE REAL LIFE is ACTUALLY the SPIRITUAL LIFE, that's how we become TRULY ALIVE) skip ahead to 1Corinthians 15 And just as we have borne the image of the one made of dust, we will bear also the image of the heavenly one. 50 But I tell you this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s Kingdom,(now remember we're supposed to inherit God's kingdom but the Bible says FLESH AND BLOOD CAN NOT INHERIT GOD'S KINGDOM so that right there tells you you're going to get a spiritual body in order to inherit God's Kingdom (because we know Jehovah can't lie(Titus1:2) because there will be more trees of life in the recreation(Mt 19:28; Re 22:14) Skip ahead to Revelation now.. Revelation 7 After this I saw, and look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands. 10 And they keep shouting with a loud voice, saying: “Salvation we owe to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.(remember when Jesus transfigured himself on the mountain he was in a "white robe"(we know a lot of Revelation is symbolic) Revelation 7:14 These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and THEY HAVE WASHED THEIR ROBES and MADE THEM WHITE in the blood of the Lamb(KEEP THIS SCRIPTURE IN MIND) Revelation 21:10 So he carried me away in the power of the spirit to a great and lofty mountain, and he showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God...It had a great and lofty wall and had 12 gates with 12 angels at the gates, and on the gates were inscribed the names of the 12 tribes of the sons of Israel. 13 On the east were three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.(notice where the city and the gates are, they are in heaven, actually earth is just supposed to be God's garden, the city is in heaven) Revelation 22:14 Happy are those who wash their robes, so that they may have authority to go to the trees of life and that they may gain entrance into the city through its gates..( notice Who gains access to the city (heaven) and it's gates(the entrance to heaven), THOSE WHO WASHED THEIR ROBES.(Re 7:14) We know those who did that came out of the great tribulation. During one of the drama movies in the assembly(Summer of 2020 Friday session) she pointed out to her student(Jade, Like Jaded) that there is no hunger, death, or pain in heaven...but we know Jesus actually hungered, felt pain and could be killed on Earth and he was perfect flesh and blood, so in order for the people on the Earth to be able to not hunger or die we would have to obtain spiritual bodies because only in heaven do they not hunger die or feel pain... Jesus was are roadmap, he was born, he was baptized, he died, but then he came back as spiritual creature and made himself known or let himself be seen to those he wanted... because also remember Jesus says in the resurrection we are as Angels (Angels are spiritual creatures) Matthew 22 In reply Jesus said to them: “You are mistaken, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God; 30 for in the resurrection neither do men marry nor are women given in marriage, but they are as angels in heaven Regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, who said: 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob’? He is the God, not of the dead, but of the living( You know Jesus can't lie and faithful servants of Jehovah and followers of Jesus Christ are supposed to be resurrected if we die, just as Jesus came back as the Angels are(in the spiritual form) after he was put to death, all baptized Christians will come back as the Angels are and if they are not baptized they'll be resurrected after the 1000 years had ended because the Bible also says in Revelation that not everybody's gets resurrected during the first resurrection, there are some that come to life after the thousand years where ended Revelation 20 And they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for 1,000 years. 5 (THE REST OF THE DEAD DID NOT COME TO LIFE UNTIL THE 1,000 YEARS WERE ENDED.) Matthew 5:8 Happy are the pure in heart, since they will see God.(Jesus already told us servants of Jehovah will actually see God and Jesus can't lie just like Jehovah can't tell a lie and the Bible is God's word) ❤️❤️Galatians 5 On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, 23 MILDNESS, SELF-CONTROL.

Yes because slaves are workers, a slave is just another word for worker, "forced" slavery is "forced worker"(you have the right to work don't you? You want to be able to work and provide for your family don't you?), just like I'm a slave for Jehovah God and Jesus Christ but I'm not a forced worker, so Jehovah God didn't endorse "forced" slavery, Jesus didn't endorse "forced" slavery(they endorsed that you have the right to work), men just enslaved themselves, in a perfect world no man would be a slave, that's why Jesus said we should love our neighbor as ourselves we wouldn't want to be slaves so we wouldn't want to enslave anybody, we would like things given to us, so we should give two other people, we want help so we should help other people, but men are greedy so they enslave themselves for money, so Jehovah God made laws because men enslave themselves, man has the right to sell themselves for money or work if they like but God made laws for slavery or servitude that way the the master wouldn't get defrauded and also the slave didn't get mistreated... So Jehovah knew men had the right to enslave themselves if they wanted to, so that's why he had slavery laws... We all slave for somebody even today, say you work at McDonald's, or you work at Walmart, you are a slave because you have a boss or master(that you have to listen to) you are a willing slave, you can quit when you are ready, but you are still a slave to somebody, so slavery still exists today, you sell yourself to the company and they pay you so much money, you're a slave to the government, you pay your taxes, you work for the government, you have to obey the laws of the government, the government is your master, you are a slave to the government today, if you don't obey the government's laws or the rules they can punish you, you are enslaved to the government, slavery still exists today, I slave for God, I slave for Jesus Christ I do this preaching work, that's who I choose to slave for, I don't slave for money because money is worthless, money is useless, it's going to all burn up, I slave for God because he gives everlasting life... So it's all a matter who you want to slave for, I choose the slave for God, you're slaving for man and money but you do it under the disguise of work or employment, this is my job, this is my only job to preach... I don't have to work or slave for men, not right now anyway...
So you are a calvinist? Because of your interpretation of Romans 9? ....well....still better than JW. But good to know that the Christian God does not condemn most people to hell before being born. Jesus died for the whole world. If you can't sin because God made you sin...then you can't repent. God makes you sin and repent.

Not that I believe the Bible at all.... But, having been a JW for 35years and now awoken, The New World Translation is definitely biased to J W theology. Very different to other translations.

Loving the Wally rants
Good video man! Good points and funny enough this is what got me started to doubt the Witnesses and then ultimately everything else because I was (still am) a big nerd. I used to have different copies of bibles in my possession when I was in. I actually spent money at the time, went to Barnes & Nobles, and bought different translations in order to study the differences in translations. (Despite the elders and my parents telling me I didn't need to since the NWT was the most accurate translation) A good example that started to shake me was with how birthdays are written in the NWT in a "negative light". Well, Job 1:4 in the NIV mentions how his sons would hold feats on their "birthdays", so Jehovah's best example of unshakable faith allowed his family to celebrate their birthdays?! Hmmmm!!! (lol) Stuff like that are what started me on a journey that ultimately led me out of not just the Witnesses but all religious/superstitious beliefs.
Jesus sent you to preach about the JW's?????????
its not birthday, LoLs.. Its their "turn".
Great points! A lot of people will flock a criticism of religious groups but can't handle when they have to look at their own.
For anyone who can get their hands on a Kingdom Interlinear, look at the interlinear and compare it to the NWT on the right hand side of the page. Its amazing how many times the two are different. You look at it and wonder how they came up with that when the translated Greek doesn't agree. Much of the NWT is filled with brackets [ ] with a word inserted to change the context or meaning of the scripture.
Even if you didn’t mean to be funny you’ve got me at „lukewarm coffee“ 😂.

They changed the ending to Jehoshpat's daughter simply because they knew how bad it makes God look so they just made up a new wholesome ending where God doesn't make Jehoshpat go through with his vow and she just goes and becomes a Priestess and everyone has a yearly reunion with her. Now go read the story in every other Bible.
Yes I remember them doing that. When I was in my congregation the elders used that as an example of letting your yes mean yes and no mean no. Then later down the years there was an WT articles discussing how symbolically it meant his daughter went to serve in the temple indefinitely.....ok 🙄
haha I even worked out how messed up that story was in the NWT! it cleary says he fufilled his vow... what what his vow?....
that is one of the weakest appolgetics in the entire bible in my opinion... to those people I say my classic line, "you are a fool." HAHA
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
I love your videos Wally, and your straight forward message. A great book to get on slavery is Josh Bowen's book on the subject. And his wife and him have a website called Digital Hammurabi, and has several videos to watch and truly educate yourself. He also has made a book on learning how to read the Sumerian language!

Even how Christianity got its beginning, hint it was by some man called Jesus! If you want to watch it look up Moconomy on TH-cam.
Definitely LOVE the Wally rants!!! They’re spot on what I always found frustrating!
A couple things that I found problems with the NWT was how we were to tell people that it’s one of the most accurate translations available. But based on? It was proven in court (decades ago) that Not one of the “scholars” from the Watchtower writing committee responsible for this version, had any training in either Hebrew or Greek.
#2 - The very first version of their New Testament, during the very early days of Watchtower, was written/translated by a “scholar” Johannes Greber. Information on him can be found by searching his name in the WT Online Library. He wrote the forward in the 1980 edition of the NWT, and is quoted as an authority in the Watchtower magazine articles, the Questions from Readers and the most popular Aid to Bible Understanding book. This man was a Catholic priest who later became interested in spiritism. With the help of his wife, who claimed to be a spirit medium, began to “channel” the spirits during seances. They enlisted a young boy who would “communicate” what was said by these spirits to get “clarification” on the more troublesome verses in the traditional Bible that contradicted WT theology. He wrote a book about these spiritually enlightening changes in the 30’s called “Communication with the Spirit World”.
Now we all know that we were always told to stay away from anything having to do with spiritism, but yet this is the biblical “scholar” Watchtower used to justify the changes to the Bible in key places. Like John 1:1, Mat 27: 52-53 for example. His original book is hard to come by, but I managed to find it via an inter-library loan back in the 90’s. It was creepy to say the least! But the later Watchtower articles expose this guy! Of course, they fail to mention that this guy was responsible for their own New Testament!
#3 - We were told to tell others at the door, that they can use the their own Bible but eventually there’s that sly transition from theirs to the NWT. We were told that they’ve just updated the Bible to a make it more reader friendly and easier to understand.
And #4 - We all believed this to be true!! So much so, that we convinced the householders of this to the point that they ditched any other translations they owned. After all “It’s the same as the rest, just took out the old archaic language!” And Shhh, just a few other words/phrases that completely change the meaning of the passage. Example... changing “Grace” to “Underserved kindness”. Keeping it more about working for WT vs. a Free gift that doesn’t require works.
LOL 😂 I could go on for hours! Thanks for listening to this “Rant ~by Rachelle”!!!
Thanks again for your videos Wally! Have a great day! 🥰
#1 and #2 are incorrect. FYI, Johannes Greber died in 1944. 3 years before the translation of the NWT commenced.
FYI, χαρις does mean “undeserved kindness.”
Hope this helps.
I do love the channel and have watched every single one of your videos and plan on continuing to do so. One of the beauties of not being a JW is being able to express my opinion and maybe even not agreeing on everything. In this video you said that the JW bible is "not that bad." This is where I disagree. Anytime a religion tweaks the bible to fit their doctrine, it is in fact "that bad." I will use a quote that WT used recently in their weekday meeting, "If its 10% wrong, its 100% misleading." This goes both ways. When WT used this quote it was in reference to non-authorized website or apps. Just as "apostates" can and sometimes do mislead others, WT does exactly the same thing when it alters the bible to fit their narrative. The hypocrisy is truly astounding within the organization.

Wally I enjoy your rants. Your analysis of the jahoho nut club as well as Abrahamic religion is spot on. Did you ever wonder why WT does not call their bible The Bible? After all they are a printing company and they should be able to. They can't . The changes they've made to the text run into legal constraints. It's also not a translation according to Bible and linguistic scholars. It's like Bubba and Ray Ray made a holy book. With the Jdubs guys like Lett ,Tight Pants Tony, Heard and other egotistical goons have superimposed Biblical text. Thank you for putting a little Wally light on the subject.
Remember the song Masorites, how can we be like them? Lol
Good work, dawg 👏
Wally, I talked about sexual abuse and its aftermath (when hiding doesn't work anymore) in 1999. The Watchtower, and my fellow elders had no answers and couldn't be affectionate. I needed nurtures and nourishment, but none of that. Younger brothers did not understand, most were kind and listened.
But I could not stay in an abusive marriage (1 Corinthians 5:1) and escaped. But I was kidnapped and taken hostage by my loving brothers and sisters and put in a mental clinic. "my mouth was sealed".

Later when I got my resignation I moved on, and never RETURNED to my former congregation!

Here's a question for JWs: What is the value in the Bible's inerrancy if faithful worshippers cannot progress on the road to life by just reading and accepting it for what it says but are obligated to accept erroneous interpretations of it from the fallible and uninspired faithful and discrete slave?
th-cam.com/video/HMiJyNGNVPw/w-d-xo.html
@@proverbsproverbs4227 This is about the trinity (which I don't believe). It in no way answers my question. The trinity is wrong *and* JWs are wrong. You give the very typical evasive tactic of trying to distract from your own errors by pointing to the errors of others. You have to tear down others to appear to justify yourself. The fact that you can't answer the question and have to divert to the faults of others in a bid to make your religion look good, is an indictment against your religion.
How you present your videos is great! I always felt off with God hardening Pharaoh's heart when I was in. Anyways I know this book is more bible DLC than actual canon but it is mention in Jude and that is the book of Jasher. Read the 33rd chapter and that story will send your head for a loop , It actually states that the Lord gave counsel to Simeon and Levi to trick and lie in order to slaughter a whole village for vengeance. Makes you wonder who is actually the villain of the bible 🤔 Anyways take care !
wow! you actually have done some good research! well done
Good point! Of course, the NWT is not the only translation with questionable wordings in many places. Further more, it is not only many christians who are biased, but there are actually some places with known contraditions where different traslators have leaned on different appologetics when translating. This is in some some cases a tradition. So even though the NWT is perhaps especially problematic in certain places, this is a more general problem.
By the way, the worst thing I know is when chriastians say JW:s arre mislead and then go on preaching their own interpretation on a matter - sometimes even with the exact same reasong as JW. When they do that I know that I am dealing with people that are exactly the same as JW! "They are so bad, but we are right!" A typical example of this is when discussing original sin.
Christian Greek Scriptures do not mention the name Jehovah once. NOT ONCE !!!! JW's admit to adding the divine name to places they think it should go, basically when they are quoting the old testament.
The shortened version of the devine name is found in the Christian Greek scriptures. Hallelujah (/ˌhælɪˈluːjə/ HAL-i-LOO-yə) is a transliteration of the Hebrew phrase הַלְלוּ יָהּ, it means to praise Jah (from הַלְלוּ, "praise;" and יָהּ, Jah.). The word hallel in Hebrew means a joyous praise in song. The second part, Jah, is a shortened form of YHWH (Jehovah or Yahweh in modern English), the name of the creator. The term is used four times in the Christian Book of Revelation were praise to Jehovah is made known.
Awesome video Wally! I always enjoy learning these new nuggets of info. The most egregious whitewashing that JWs do is the story of Jephthah's daughter. He clearly made a vow to offer the first person as a burnt offering in judges 11:31. JW claims she served at temple and she would get "commendation" by the daughters of Israel yearly in judges 11:40. Other bibles clearly says they lamented or mourned yearly! It's such a terrible story yet they included it in the "My Book of Bible stories". Child sacrifice was more common than we'd like to believe.
I feel your pain dude! Imagine the frustration the church that actually gave us the bible has every time she hears one of the other thousands of other interpretations you spoke about that dont agree with each other. 🤦♂️
peace!
Excellent❤👍
Thank you so much
That's a good rant I love it

Speaking of the New World Translation, why is it still called that? The Society long ago changed the cultspeak in that the term "New World" is no longer used. Today, it's called the New System of Things, or, the New Order, isn't it? If they were consistent, perhaps it should be renamed to be the New Order Translation. I think they might go for The New System Translation, first, because The New Order Translation sounds rather fascist, and second, well, th-cam.com/video/71ZHVmSuBJM/w-d-xo.html
This comment is why I still read the comments on my videos!
How about "The New World Order Translation?" I mean now that they're fully obeying the god of this system and jabbing people at the kingdom halls. Yeah I think it's the perfect red pill title for their bible.😉

Thats exactly what I did ,shame on me. I am so glad I have been D/F( After I told them I don't want to be associated) I can no longer be tarred with the same brush as the Org . I can at least apologise for being so stupid. "Get out of her my people" advice to my good friends still in
It takes a lot of self awareness and courage to admit that. The cognitive dissonance in JWs make them the most stubborn to accept facts and allow critical thinking skills so good for you.
Jeptha's daughter! I spent all my time as a JW 'rationalising' and explaining away all the capricious, vindictive, egotistical, cruel and just plain nasty things that Jehovah did!! Eventually it wore me out! Great work, Wally!
It's the worst translation ever according to Bible scholars. Julius H Mantey called a distortion not a translation. See " This is what an actual Bible Scholar thinks of the Jehovas Witnesses Bible " Kristy Aun
God didn't have the foresight to predict that mistranslations and misinterpretetations could become a contentious topic.
I think it's important to have different perspectives...and new perspectives. Maybe there's a little truth in each.
The bible seems to interpret itself usually.
For example: The book of Daniel has a list of kings starting every chapter. Match this with history and the correct order is:
Daniel 1,2,3,4,7,8,10,12,5,6,11,9
Also, esther, ezra, lamentations, nehemiah should be after Daniel because they lived during the persians and after the 2nd temple was built...and nehemiah rebuilt it again.
This info I provided is void of any emotional interpretation. These things are facts you can verify. Daniel was written by different people from 600 to 400 BC. This should change how you view the whole bible. There's no way to deny this truth is there? What's your perspective?
I don't think the bible or anyone claims that the books are ordererd chronologically so what is your point?
The point is different perspectives are important. This info actually goes with real history that can be proved. What book do you know that's not in chronological order? Who writes books with the beginning mixed with the middle at the end? I thought the romans destroyed the temple? Then what was nehemiah doing rebuilding the walls of the 2nd temple?
We should never let TNTBR - the need to be right to stop us from learning something new.
Enjoy your points
It's simple...they want their bible to support their biased teachings. It's why they leave out entire parts like John 8:1-11. Can't have a chapter showing how non judgmental and forgiving Jesus REALLY was.....especially toward a woman! (Gasp!) That doesn't support how they want to be able to judge people as "sinners" when Jesus himself didn't even do it. Their god is unloving as the entire Hebrew scriptures can attest to. It is what it is.✌
for sure! I just wished that all people offering commentary on the bible took the same critical approach that they have towards others on themselves. That was a very sloppy sentence but I reackon you know what I mean
That section is generally thought to be a later addition and not found in the earlier scriptures . That is why it is left out .
Nothing to do with any of the reasons you suggested .
@@reluctantheist5224 The New World Translation leaves way more than just that out. To leave something out because they "think" it was an addition is presumptuous as well. No original manuscripts of the bible books have ever been found, only copies. So to leave so many things out of one specific translation when so many others include it is very suspicious indeed!🤔
Basically its saying it's not fitting their "narrative" right?
Here's a great irony: Motivated by a need to portray their god in the best possible light, in a number of verses, Watchtower has given questionable renderings that aren't accurately in line with what the Hebrew text actually says. Yet, I've seen footnotes in the very same NWT study Bible that comment on scribes altering the wording of certain verses because they felt the original wording portrayed YHWH in a less than dignified light. Watchtower's translation of the Bible is guilty of doing the same thing that the very same translation comments on ancient scribes doing! lol.
Couldn't wait to finish the video to comment. I like the NWT very much as a translation. I miss the old green one i grew up with. I think it's got quite a lot of accurate renderings. It's pretty lousy for reading though, for that i prefer the NJB. Worst bible ever is the NIV, yuck. I remember an elder taking me into the hall library and teaching me what an imprimatur on a catholic bible was, which actually led me to purchase a few, and the 1996 new catechism, as most of our territory was catholic. Ive said for years if i were to get knocked on the head really hard and believe in god again I'd have to be a catholic, they seem the most honest about bible scholarship.
Freddie Franz was a total nutcase but i have to admit his translation was a damned good work, and the 1984 study bible you held up was great. Ever look at a Baptist study bible? They're completely full of shit.
I do think that catholics tend to be more open to dealing with the issues in the bible and with their faith, but they are a criminal organization as well.... so there is that
Nwt got a lot right after all. The whole I AM thing for instance. I have no problem with John 1:1 "a god" either. I do have a bit of a problem with the verse in i think it's Isaiah about inflamed horse testicles though.
@@exjehovahswitness who isn't a criminal organization? That's kind of my point, you have to be disingenuous and knocked upside the head to be religious and believe any of that crap. So if i turned out that way, I'd end up catholic.
Hello this is the first video I have discovered on your channel. IMO instead of telling us what JWs believe about their Bible, you should quote them directly. That way you don’t risk a bad faith misrepresentation
He's an ex-jw, why would there be a need to quote them directly when he is speaking from the experience of being in jw culture ?
what did Hannah say in 1Samuel2:6/ "The Lord killeth,and maketh alive:He bringeth down to the grave,and bringeth up."KJV
Seems pretty clear to me..
Thus, the Holy Bible of which Jehovah God is the one Author was completed by means of his witnesses, even as it had been begun by means of them. Consequently, with no room allowed for Scriptural contradiction, it may be said that The Holy Bible is the Book by Jehovah's witnesses. As Revelation 19:6 exclaims, "Hallelujah!"
Hva?
The jws is anyone else who trys to explain the Bible to fit their views always has to say ' you see the Word used here means this " but they disregard what the whole Scriptures cpntext is .
This is why we all need to read the Scriptures for ourselves ( if we believe or don't believe in God) so we can get the understanding for out self
The Bible has spoken about these people who will twist God's Words
1 Timothy 6:4
he is puffed up with pride and does not understand anything. He is obsessed with arguments and debates about words. These things give rise to envy, strife, slander, wicked suspicions
🙂I just recently found you Wally and find your rants interesting.
I have found that Arminian Apologists tend to do this as well. On the topic of Pharaoh they say, "GOD didn't Harden Pharaoh's heart ON PURPOSE"! (They'll bring up Sun and Clay and Wax) Or they'll say, "Well he did it on purpose, BUT only after giving Pharoah a lot of chances to repent". (That is nowhere in Scripture! They have Added [A LOT] to The Bible.)
Obviously, as you have relayed here, Yahweh/Jehovah/GOD did do it "On Purpose" that purpose is as Paul states, "to demonstrate His Sovereignty" etc.
🤓
Further proof is that the words in the Hebrew and the Greek (in Paul's telling of this event) are using the ACTIVE Forms of those verbs! (In English we don't have Active and Inactive verb forms so we have to deduce by context.)
😳
NOTE to the Listener: The Bible defines SLAVERY as a voluntary thing.
🤓
According to Yahweh's (Jehovah's) law, people can allow themselves to go into "slavery" if they owe more money than they can pay. The law sets a certain amount of time for this slavery until they are freed. However some slaves decide to become permanent slaves to their masters and this is marked by putting a large hole in the earlobe.
(How things have changed.)
😳
I'm pretty sure this is in Deuteronomy and perhaps elsewhere in the Torah.
If you read my comments then I'm sure you will realize inside yourself what "hardening someone's heart is". It's what you are feeling right now.
The translators of the NWT lack integrity.
If you're going to argue like this, you have to talk about the Hebrew and the Greek, or interview someone who can. All translations rely on assumptions about the intent of the author.
Greek translation: I will stiffen the heart of Pharaoh. Have you been D/F yet or officially disassociated yet? Just curious
Two of my favorite bible people, Bart Erhman and James Dunn, both admit that JWs got a lot right about primitive christianity and the NT.
robert price also has made comments about the accuracy of the NWT. I don't think it is bad but where it is, it is really bad!
Well should I say THEY!!!
84,ex Jesuit. Your dialogue, evidence, logic, and conclusion are all excellent, just tighten up the delivery and don’t be afraid to rant! There are 88 contemporary English VERSIONS of the Judeo-ChristianBible (not to mention the Vugate) and 34,000 denominations and sects of the Judeo-Christian faith. The JW’s, who only number 8.2 million, are the only ones who know God?…such arrogance. I would like to see the certification of the philologist who did the translation, because any Rabbinic Scholar will admit the ancient Hebrew language is difficult to translate.
Hello! Ex JW here. I appreciate your video! So which bible do you suggest? Based on this video I’d take your suggestion 😊
Wait, wait,wait....any window washer can translate his own bible if he has Holy Spit !.....Where is your FAITH ?
yes, y holy spit after y Tony whiskey spirit .. :)
Yeah maybe an understanding of how the bible came to be isn't necessarily pertinent to establishing the correct understanding of ancient manuscripts
@@exjehovahswitness when you change Grace to undeserved Kindness ,and Cross to torture stake ,and Believe to Exercising faith ....It's not hard to see a deliberate mistranslation ...,and a Bible study who I gave the Kingdom Interlinear to in 1989 pointed it out to me that these Greek words were inconsistently mistranslated .....WHY ?.....To Mislead !
And you felt real smart when they told you it was all wrong! haha but of course we were stubborn and thought they were just being misled by satan
@@exjehovahswitness I still know this former bible study ....drove by his house today ....I ditched him a couple of years ago because he can be a bogart ....my stash is my stash ....🤪🤪🤪👍......He was a White Wizard !
I had someone the other day tell me that they were a Christian and that the Bible specifically supports abortion, homosexuality, and transgenders. I mean, if you want to believe all that stuff is fine I have NOTHING against your opinion but to try and say the Bible supports your position is a really bad joke.
wow... just wow!
I am NOT saying it exactly as it is in the BIBLE, I know The HEAVENLY FATHER said since you know so MUCH about himself maybe he should set BACK and question ❓❓❓⁉️⁉️ you!!! Those who know the Scripture know what I'm talking about.
Lol you are so right.
always
@@exjehovahswitness yes
Good points, why are they not challenged on that alone. They claim to have the truth, however the very one that is responsible for teaching all truth. Amazingly they even misconstrue the whole Bible. How can everyone else get our wrong, but read the same and interpreted as stated.. That's just straight sorcery at its best, just like their true father.. Just saying, it's funny and sad at the same time..
Thank God, that's the main reason, when studying with the witness, The facts about Jesus words to Nichodemus, you must be born again... What else could you possibly read into the actual statement, he didn't studder..
I bought my dad a fathers day gift and told him it was "undeserved kindness".
That's a JW selected word to substitute for "grace".
Every bible has an agenda. The Governing body showed their agenda to replace Christ in 2 Cor 5:20
We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, [Substituting for Christ] as though God were making his appeal through us[as Substitutes for Christ]. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God."
[Substituting for Christ] [as Substitutes for Christ] have been added by the Governing body to make people think that it was okay back then to replace/substitute for Christ so it should be okay now🤷
When you make God angry he will play into your pridefulness and stubbornness making you even more so, holding you for the moment of severe punishment.
When God made Pharoahs son Moses like a God to him. This made Pharaoh even more stubborn.
Ex 7:1
Then the LORD said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet."
God means Authority. Pharaoh felt like he was the most high authority and no one was above him. So God put his son above Pharaoh. This is hardening a person's heart.
God sounds like a horrible figure of anxiety and stress in your description.
Why would he lean into our worst traits and exploit them so he can snap the jaws of life down on us at the end...it’s just so predatory. A personality only a mother could love that Yahweh.
@@eatenbyjezebel5604 Sounds like you have more sympathy for the wicked. Pharaoh killed little babies by drowning them in the Nile and Moses escaped that genocide because of Pharoahs daughter.
God can chose when to deliver justice or hold it back depending on the person.
God gave fair chance with the passover so if anyone obeyed they wouldn't lose their child. They should have recognized and obeyed the most high God from witnessing the earlier 9 plagues.
If your next thought is more sympathy for the wicked then don't respond.
Mad Hatter God could have punished Pharoah then. Much like he could and doesn’t punish Satan in this story. Wickedness had never excused genocide especially the extinction of children because we’ve scientifically proven that wickedness is not inheritable. Additionally, If I can’t abort my gang rapists fetus then god can’t kill the children of the wicked and call himself moral. I do very much have empathy for people branded wicked, knowing that wicked actions and choices are not biblically wickedness deserving of death. I have been raped, beaten, drowned and forced into a pregnancy that nearly killed me when I wasn’t allowed blood so don’t talk about wicked, my rapist is being protected by christians so don’t talk to me about evil, I work to save people’s lives in a profession that is deemed wicked because my ministry report card says 30 and not 70, I have always been labelled wicked, for eyeliner and band tshirts and concerts and girlfriends, Christians are the least but qualified to determine who is wicked and the Yahweh fanfiction called the bible that forgot to forbid the owning and selling of people and ordered his faves to rape and slaughter children is the last person in all of fiction who should ever be in control of justice.
@@eatenbyjezebel5604 I'm sorry for all you've been through. Jehovahs witness are a Satanic religion and they are not God himself.
In 36 months from now you will see these "Christians" go through plagues and fire, wishing to die but they wont find death. You have much to be angry about. I won't say anymore but I will mourn with you for what was taken from you.
Baby Wally!
It's a copy of the freak freemasons version...
Hi Wally..Yes-Father does many of these things...Look at the account of Samson.Father had him fall in love with a particular woman so as to get at the Phillistines...Poor Samson.
WT similar to Catholic in changing scriptures and saying they are ok doing it...They need to study Revelations 22..
Also,doesnt the Bible say Father is a jealous God,exacting exclusive devotion and disposed to rage??Is Christ Jesus not the image of the invisible God??(All from the scriptures)Does not aPsalm say>>Kiss the Son,for his anger flares up easily and you might perish from the way??
They have to water it.
If they don't it looks like the Bible is from Man, and then?
TO ALL JW's, The Governing Body's latest ""change"" in there newest ""silver Bible"" is Micah 6:8, In there older Bible Micah 6:8 state's : And what is Jehovah requiring of you? Only to exercise justice, and to>>> Love kindness
Again. There is a difference between God's way of slavery and Satan's way. All YOU know today is Satan's way of slavery.
Was God ok with Satan's way of slavery?
Luke 17 shows Jesus is scolding those who treat their Slaves/servants Satan's way.
7“Now which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him after he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and recline at the table to eat’? 8On the contrary, will he not say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, and properly [h]clothe yourself and serve me while I eat and drink; and [i]afterward you [j]may eat and drink’? 9He does not thank the slave because he did the things which were commanded, does he? 10So you too, when you do all the things which were commanded you, say, ‘We are [k]unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.’”
Basically Jesus is addressing how they'd rather treat their slave. Then Jesus says, in plain English: "If I am your master then who do you think you are to me? Should I treat YOU this way also?"
When Elijah was to go into town and find his successor Elisha, he found him pulling a plow by himself while his slaves were each pulling their own plows. Owners of land shared everything with their Slaves. If the owner slept in a nice house then the slave slept in a nice house. If the owner of the land ate good food the slave or servant ate the same good food. They shared everything, even the growth and success of business. The way you think of slavery is Satan's way not God's. Jesus shares his success with us. He shares EVERYTHING with us as our Master.
If God's people wanted to live like the nations did then God let them fall into Satans way of slavery by the hands of the nations.
The correct translation should be Pharaoh will harden his heart. God is pre warning Moses what is going to happen. God doesn’t harden anyone’s heart. All translations of the original Bible are incorrect .
I preface this by saying I’m no longer a xtain. When it came to the hardening of his heart, god did harden his heart. He may have allowed him to make up his own mind but the reason why it wasn’t ultimately pharaohs fault, as god supposedly created pharaoh. And god created him knowing he would harden his heart. Thus it’s gods fault for making him that way................. But I get what You were talking about. The watchtower/witnesses are very Orwellian when it comes to their version of the bible. One year 2+2=4. And the next year 2+2=5. And the bloody excuse they use is supposed “new light” . Also they arrogantly declare their bible is the one and only correct bible. That the other bibles are corrupted or that the persons who wrote those bibles misunderstood or got wrong what the original texts were when it came to translating biblical sources ( I mean once upon time ago the witnesses used to celebrate xmas. But when rutherford put an end to that) And they re-write and reinterpret their own bible once so often just suit the desires of 8 old men. So one day that’ll be a Starbucks coffee cup the next day it’s a coconut water cup. And the watchtower will blatantly tell you it’s never been a coffee cup it’s always been a coconut water cup.......... ⚛️☮️🌏
The bible itself is a false doctrune! I mean its one of many religious books that have their merit but written by god and all that depends on faith and no proof. But i like your video
Preach it, sister!
What do you think?
I think that it is a kind of lazyness of the brain. . . ! ? ? Maybe! ?🤔🙄😲😨😵😂
perhaps
You Can Defend the Demonically TRANSLATED VERSION OF GODS WORD... LOOK UP WILCOX'S AND HORT.
Stop calling it new translation its not its an interpretation ‘they have a jw greek interliear printed by wt that contradicts their bible ‘ all the altered verses are in the interlinear but some of the removed scriptures are not ‘ when you read the jw version you notice it jumps from say 12 to 16 so you have to look at a bible to see what verses are missing ‘many scriptures are missing that dont fit their doctrine
‘
Have you ever read a original bible not a bible translated into a organized religions view points but a original bible?
the hard thing is we do not have a original bible. We have copies of copies of copies of copies by anonymous writers that have been changed over time, written in dead languages, and preseved by various people with varying agendas. So what I do is read 5 different translations and make my best guess.
All translations are wrongs because we dont have the original one those which uses other cults contains wrongs too as the name of God.replaced by lord trinity being adopted by torting words of bible.
It's a translation, not a version. Show me your Bible!
I use all of them. And the newest one is really bad! the 1984 nwt is pretty good though
🎺🎺MY KINGDOM MINISTRY FOR MY GOD JEHOVAH AND JESUS CHRIST🎺🎺
I know Jehovah witnesses have been taught a lie that heaven is meant for a 144,000 people... but the only place that there's a specific number mentioned of those who go to heaven is in Revelation and it gives a number of 144000 to go to heaven for specific purpose to be Kings and priests for a 1000 years(but notice 1st Corinthians comes before revelation we read the Bible from front to back not Back to front)...
JW's have been taught 1st Corinthians is only addressed to the 144,000(or the annointed) but notice in 1st Corinthians 1 who Paul is directing this letter to
1st Corinthians 1:2
to the congregation of God that is in Corinth, to you who have been sanctified in union with Christ Jesus, called to be holy ones, together with all those everywhere who are calling on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ..(we know the holy ones are the annoited but he also added in, "together with all those everywhere who are calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ" so this is for everybody who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, this is who this letter is addressed to
skip to
1st Corinthians 6:10
thieves, greedy people, drunkards, revilers, and extortioners WILL NOT INHERIT GOD’S KINGDOM(all servants of Jehovah will inherit God's Kingdom, that's our goal to get into that Kingdom)
skip ahead to
1st Corinthians 15:44
It is sown a physical body; it is raised up a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual one(the scripture says if there is a physical body there is a spiritual one that is a definite)
1st Corinthians 15
However, what is spiritual is not first. What is physical is first, and afterward what is spiritual. 47 The first man is from the earth and made of dust; the second man is from heaven(it says that our first life is from the earth, our second life is from heaven, although we will still inherit the Earth because the Bible says that but just like Jesus could transfigure a spiritual body on the mountain, as a perfect person, showing us that it can be done as a perfect person, we will also be able to form a spiritual body once we have perfected our physical bodies...have you ever thought about what the tree of life was supposed to do for Adam and Eve? We could have lived forever without ever eating from the tree of Life. Jehovah God said the only reason why Adam and eve died is because they ate from the tree of knowledge (what was the tree of life supposed to accomplish?)
JEHOVAH tells us:
Genesis 3:22
Jehovah God then said: “Here the man has become like one of us in knowing good and bad. Now in order that he may not put his hand out and take fruit also from the tree of life and eat and live forever(THE REAL LIFE is ACTUALLY the SPIRITUAL LIFE, that's how we become TRULY ALIVE)
skip ahead to
1Corinthians 15
And just as we have borne the image of the one made of dust, we will bear also the image of the heavenly one. 50 But I tell you this, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s Kingdom,(now remember we're supposed to inherit God's kingdom but the Bible says FLESH AND BLOOD CAN NOT INHERIT GOD'S KINGDOM so that right there tells you you're going to get a spiritual body in order to inherit God's Kingdom (because we know Jehovah can't lie(Titus1:2) because there will be more trees of life in the recreation(Mt 19:28; Re 22:14)
Skip ahead to Revelation now..
Revelation 7
After this I saw, and look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands. 10 And they keep shouting with a loud voice, saying: “Salvation we owe to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.(remember when Jesus transfigured himself on the mountain he was in a "white robe"(we know a lot of Revelation is symbolic)
Revelation 7:14
These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and THEY HAVE WASHED THEIR ROBES and MADE THEM WHITE in the blood of the Lamb(KEEP THIS SCRIPTURE IN MIND)
Revelation 21:10
So he carried me away in the power of the spirit to a great and lofty mountain, and he showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God...It had a great and lofty wall and had 12 gates with 12 angels at the gates, and on the gates were inscribed the names of the 12 tribes of the sons of Israel. 13 On the east were three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.(notice where the city and the gates are, they are in heaven, actually earth is just supposed to be God's garden, the city is in heaven)
Revelation 22:14
Happy are those who wash their robes, so that they may have authority to go to the trees of life and that they may gain entrance into the city through its gates..( notice Who gains access to the city (heaven) and it's gates(the entrance to heaven), THOSE WHO WASHED THEIR ROBES.(Re 7:14) We know those who did that came out of the great tribulation. During one of the drama movies in the assembly(Summer of 2020 Friday session) she pointed out to her student(Jade, Like Jaded) that there is no hunger, death, or pain in heaven...but we know Jesus actually hungered, felt pain and could be killed on Earth and he was perfect flesh and blood, so in order for the people on the Earth to be able to not hunger or die we would have to obtain spiritual bodies because only in heaven do they not hunger die or feel pain... Jesus was are roadmap, he was born, he was baptized, he died, but then he came back as spiritual creature and made himself known or let himself be seen to those he wanted... because also remember Jesus says in the resurrection we are as Angels (Angels are spiritual creatures)
Matthew 22
In reply Jesus said to them: “You are mistaken, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God; 30 for in the resurrection neither do men marry nor are women given in marriage, but they are as angels in heaven Regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, who said: 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob’? He is the God, not of the dead, but of the living( You know Jesus can't lie and faithful servants of Jehovah and followers of Jesus Christ are supposed to be resurrected if we die, just as Jesus came back as the Angels are(in the spiritual form) after he was put to death, all baptized Christians will come back as the Angels are and if they are not baptized they'll be resurrected after the 1000 years had ended because the Bible also says in Revelation that not everybody's gets resurrected during the first resurrection, there are some that come to life after the thousand years where ended
Revelation 20
And they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for 1,000 years. 5 (THE REST OF THE DEAD DID NOT COME TO LIFE UNTIL THE 1,000 YEARS WERE ENDED.)
Matthew 5:8
Happy are the pure in heart, since they will see God.(Jesus already told us servants of Jehovah will actually see God and Jesus can't lie just like Jehovah can't tell a lie and the Bible is God's word)
❤️❤️Galatians 5 On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, 23 MILDNESS, SELF-CONTROL. Against such things there is NO LAW❤️❤️

Jesus sent you to preach about the JW's?????????
I see you didn’t learn how to come up with good illustrations when you were a JW! But good point.
Yes because slaves are workers, a slave is just another word for worker, "forced" slavery is "forced worker"(you have the right to work don't you? You want to be able to work and provide for your family don't you?), just like I'm a slave for Jehovah God and Jesus Christ but I'm not a forced worker, so Jehovah God didn't endorse "forced" slavery, Jesus didn't endorse "forced" slavery(they endorsed that you have the right to work), men just enslaved themselves, in a perfect world no man would be a slave, that's why Jesus said we should love our neighbor as ourselves we wouldn't want to be slaves so we wouldn't want to enslave anybody, we would like things given to us, so we should give two other people, we want help so we should help other people, but men are greedy so they enslave themselves for money, so Jehovah God made laws because men enslave themselves, man has the right to sell themselves for money or work if they like but God made laws for slavery or servitude that way the the master wouldn't get defrauded and also the slave didn't get mistreated... So Jehovah knew men had the right to enslave themselves if they wanted to, so that's why he had slavery laws... We all slave for somebody even today, say you work at McDonald's, or you work at Walmart, you are a slave because you have a boss or master(that you have to listen to) you are a willing slave, you can quit when you are ready, but you are still a slave to somebody, so slavery still exists today, you sell yourself to the company and they pay you so much money, you're a slave to the government, you pay your taxes, you work for the government, you have to obey the laws of the government, the government is your master, you are a slave to the government today, if you don't obey the government's laws or the rules they can punish you, you are enslaved to the government, slavery still exists today, I slave for God, I slave for Jesus Christ I do this preaching work, that's who I choose to slave for, I don't slave for money because money is worthless, money is useless, it's going to all burn up, I slave for God because he gives everlasting life... So it's all a matter who you want to slave for, I choose the slave for God, you're slaving for man and money but you do it under the disguise of work or employment, this is my job, this is my only job to preach... I don't have to work or slave for men, not right now anyway...
So you are a calvinist? Because of your interpretation of Romans 9? ....well....still better than JW. But good to know that the Christian God does not condemn most people to hell before being born. Jesus died for the whole world. If you can't sin because God made you sin...then you can't repent. God makes you sin and repent.
Your right, a good parent would force there kids to do something wrong and then punich them for it just so they can learn a lesson. You are spot on!
@@exjehovahswitness Irony lost on me. Well I teach my kids to do the right things including religion. That's why I teach them that Calvinism is wrong. Have a good Sunday.

Not that I believe the Bible at all....
But, having been a JW for 35years and now awoken, The New World Translation is definitely biased to J W theology.
Very different to other translations.
