Another interesting point about the New World Translation. The book Truth in Translation studied this translation along with many other popular translations and found it to be the best and most accurate translation.

Hi Rejoycesing,
Do not let anyone tell you what you should believe about Jehovah's Witnesses. What you say about them being persecuted is true. Jesus was persecuted and so were his disciples. The bible foretold that followers of Jesus would be persecuted. Jehovah's Witnesses have their own translation of the bible for one reason because other translations take the name of God out of the bible. We feel Jehovah's name should remain in the bible. It was originally in the scriptures over 7000 times. Jehovah's Witnesses are good honest people that are seperating themselves from false religion like the bible tells us to do. They believe that the light gets brighter and continue to do research on the scriptures to make sure that what they teach is accurate and from God. Anyone who tells you any differently is either biased or has not taken the time to find out the reasons for the things Jehovahs Witnesses teach. Anyone who wishes to know the actual beliefs of the witnesses and what scriptures they base that belief on can go to http://www.watchtower.org.

Nick,
I do seek the kingdom first and do believe in salvation through the son of God. It sounds as if you are confused on some of the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses. We beleive the kingdom of God is the only hope for mankind and we need to put that first and foremost in our lives.

I do not believe in the theory of evolution or that god used evolution to create the universe. As a Jehovah's Witness I believe in the creation account of Genesis. But I also believe that this can agree with science. We have many publications on this subject. Science and religion begin to contradict when people see creation as having taken place in seven literal 24 hour days. The word that is used in the genesis account does not neccessarily mean a literal day but could refer to an extended period of time. This can be shown later in genesis when all seven of the days of creation are referred to as a day. So the days of creation could be long periods of times. There is more scriptural evidence of this but I am at work right now and do not have the exact scriptures in front of me. If you want the exact verses that I am referring to I can get them at a later time. The theory of evolution is just that a theory and many scientists struggle with the lack of evidence and missing peices. Many agree that their is much evidence of intelligent design but as scientists they refuse to look at the fact that there is a creator. Scientists have tried for many years to prove evolution through experiments and they have failed. I have a publication that discusses evolution or creation and the experiments involved in determining this argument. If anyone is interested in the bible based book let me know and I can get you a copy.
