Something interesting you might find is one day to get a Red Letter version of the KJV bible (or whatever translation you prefer).
Skim through and see how much of what is in the Bible is where the people writing it down said these are what Jehovah or Jesus Christ said directly.
Compared to how much of the rest is history, commentary, advice, learned and well respected religious figures talking and prophecies received by prophets.

Then compare how simple, straight forward and plain the text is on those directly spoken things.
Then compare it to some of the other parts which are a lot less straightforward and simple in their delivery.

That would have a big difference in how exactly things can be translated.

Also if you take for example the KJV bible which is widely regarded as one of the great translations, and compare it to the Geneva Bible (a different, earlier translation), you can see some pretty convincing evidence that while nobody "changed" anything, since the King was sponsoring and directing the "KJV" certain passages were "massaged" or "carefully translated" or "Specific words picked" to push the idea of submitting to the government and Kings as something you should be doing, and making Kings and rulers appear in a more favourable light...
Plus the original KJV had books in it that later "protestant types" pulled out.

Also, in response to @Mean_Man and
@cgbills

This last paragraph is exactly where my distrust comes from. Like I explained above, I am familiar with the translation process, and it requires human interpretation and judgement, neither of which are to be trusted. I walk with Jesus my own way, and while some folks may not agree with my beliefs, they don't require a consensus. I was saved and baptized in my youth, spent many years in church. I don't feel the pull to be part of a church family, nor do I feel the pull to have scripture interpreted for me. The idea of having someone else read something and then tell me what it says bothers me. In fact, I am very uncomfortable with that concept. The only thing I really know is that God has blessed me in this life more times than I can count. I am absolutely convinced that god has intervened in my life every single time I needed him to, and things have played out exactly the way they should. God has given me almost everything I've ever hit my knees and asked for, just not always in the time frame that I wanted it, and there is wisdom in that. I pay for my daughter to attend a private christian school and she will never attend public school. I believe children raised in a christian environment have a better chance than those who aren't. I will just say that I have absolute faith that there is a god, and I try to do as many things the way I think I should, and I'm happy to stay out of everyone else's way and them interpret the bible however they see fit.

Gentlemen, this is what you can expect if you get married. This man is being put through hell.

He's fortunate to have, from all appearances, a decent judge who isn't buying his estranged wife's BS.

The rest of us aren't so lucky. Any other judge would have this man suffering for the rest of his life.

This video is a great example of what women expect in divorce courts and what they usually get. Only this judge wasn't buying it. Imagine the outcome if this judge was a feminist cunt (like most of them).

Watch to the end. There is a good ending.

Mrs Lowe takes it in teh ass.

This is so tempting. Especially since I’m in Boise. The only thing holding me back is I’m probably buying a 70k camper in the next week or so.

Just shut up and bite the pillow sugar buns

Been wanting to change it up and try a Manners. Gotta shoot a match before I make a final decision but definitely feels good and saved a few pounds over the original matrix I was running.

Not true. If you can sit and remain vigilant and observant with a radio you are a huge asset (make sure you have plenty of spare glasses).

This. He nails it in detail.

The size of your army is EVERYTHING, and the larger it is the more security it provides and the faster it will grow larger. Not engaging in theft or treachery is the key to attracting the right kind of soldiers. People are 100 times stronger with earned trust and their families around them. People only fight for survival so far, but people fighting for their loved ones will go all the way. Human beings are social/tribal animals. Loners who think they're going to maraud and steal are nothing but meat.

Skills and abilities are nice, but they're nothing next to numbers. Prepping is great, but it's no substitute for improvising.
Your #1 survival ability in SHTF is charisma. If you have 20+, armed, able men together at the outset your odds of survival just doubled. On your own your odds drop to zero. Make good friends who can handle themselves and have a plan to link up in an emergency. More is more.

There is no such thing as "anarchy". When two people meet a government is formed, even if it's only a totalitarian dictatorship where the strong rule the weak. Our default form of government is a feudalist monarchy, not because it is "the best", but because it is the clearest and most stable.

Either find the best warlord to join, or be the best warlord you can be. Your #1 survival skill in a collapse is charisma.

Maybe, but like everything it's going to come down to demand. I'm lefty myself so I understand the want for such a thing but I do understand the work that goes into such a project.
