Hello Hitomi & everyone,
I am very happy to be on your forum & hope to be a regular contributor.
I have spent most of my life in the study of God's word, being raised as a jw by God fearing parents.
I have a very deep love of YHWH & what he has done for us by providing his only begotten son as our redeemer.
As I believe in thorough study of the Bible, I have a good library with some good reference books & many different bible translations.
Following my demise from the WTB&TS, I went through a personal deprogramming which has unfortunately wiped a substantial part of my memory with regards to the truth from God's word. This was essential to my survival, so please bear with me if at times I take a little time to answer, or get a little off track in my posts.
Since recommencing my studies, I am remembering much better. I am in a way gratefull to the society for giving me a grounding in God's word so I can now progress unhindered by an organized system of worship.
I am now retired, but seem to be busyer than when I was working full time.
Christian love to all
Ion

Hello Hitomi,
Thanks for your welcome.
I will do my best to always use God's word in all my posts & replies.
As 2Tim.3;16,17 says, "All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17, so the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work."
I normally use the NASB as my basic bible as it's rendering is quite good.
I do frequently use the interlinear translations also, along with Strong's Exhaustive Concordance & Vines expostary dictionary. I find these help to give us the proper meaning & understanding as originally intended.
Ion

Hi Luci,
Thank you for your welcome & kind words.
I have always tried to use the scriptures in my posts, as it is God's word that is our standard reference works as true christians. The entire bible is from our Heavenly Father, as our guide for life & worship as stated at
2Tim.3;16,17. This is one of my favourite verses, please forgive me if I quote it frequently.
Ion

Hi Rus,
Thanks for your welcome also.
Yes, my nickname is how I feel when I think of all that our Lord & Master has done for me/us.
I am but a speck of unworthy dust on the scales of humanity. I am very happy to be used by Our Father in any way I can do to help my fellow servants. We all need kind, upbuilding words of encouragement, not harsh condemnation that can discourage us from serving God-YHWH.
Ion
