Let me just say a few things! I will be unbiased, neutral. Just what I've experienced. I grew up with the organization that printed this bible (The New World Translation) then in my adulthood (late 20's) I decided to leave my faith and travel the world, live the life, go to bars, meet lots of people, have fun!! I thought this is what I wanted. Wrong I was!! I experienced what most people that decide to do that experience, an empty heart, illnesses because of the poor care I was giving my own self. Ladies, gentlemen, do not be misled! this life, the life that most people live these days is empty! People are always unhappy, you know why? because they do not have a real purpose in life. I now, back in the faith I left 23 years ago have a purpose, I know that soon, real soon all of this will be part of the past! God is promising a better future for all those that decide to live a life of righteousness! He promises in YOUR bible whichever you read that this earth will be turned back into a paradise which is his primal purpose when he put adam & even here on earth (Revelation 21:4) Psalms 37:10, 11) (Isaiah 33:24) (Isaiah 11:6-9) (Isaiah 65:22) Just to mention a few bible verses. I am now happier than ever! living my life with a purpose, trying to help others find happiness that will only be found in his holy scriptures!!
