What made you want to make the JW bible? Asking as a JW!
I think it's super cool that you did that!
First off, I'd like to point out how you sent me this ask on my birthday, lol. Now, I don't celebrate birthdays but this kind of spoke to me! To answer your question, I will write what I posted on my Patreon bible posts down below! ⬇️
"Demonic, pagan, and content alike is being created and added to The Sims everyday, especially during the October months. This month, as another October rolls around, I asked myself, "Where's all the Christian content?" That question began the hunt for a bible to add to my game. After about a day full of research, I only found 2. Though there was still a problem - they both had the cross on them.
Well, I don't believe our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ died on a cross. I believe he died on a stake! [Read here why I believe Jesus died on a stake.] In fact, wouldn't you say that the cross is an idol? It's on clothing, turned into necklaces, wall decor, on furniture, it's everywhere!"
"They continued to serve disgusting idols, about which Jehovah had told them: “You must not do this!” [2 Kings 17:12]
"Little children, guard yourselves from idols." [1 John 5:21]
"Therefore, my beloved ones, flee from idolatry." [1 Corinthians 10:14]
"So then, I thought to myself, "Why don't I just make a bible myself?" I gave it a brief thought and was quickly on my way to learn how to recolor objects! Now here we are, the reveal!"

I felt such a push, internally, to do this and I'm glad I did. We usually focus on witnessing or preaching irl door to door, on the phone, or through emails. So being able to plant a seed or two via a video game is pretty exciting.
To this day, the 1984 version has 278 downloads, while the 2013 version is at 2836 downloads! It's so spiritually motivating to see these numbers and know that we're all closer to one another than we may think! 💗
I'm so sorry that it took me this long to reply, I've had quite the long break from The Sims recently. But now I am working on getting caught back up.
Sneak-peak! Been working on this 1:32 scale (if i remember right) utharaptor sculpt the past few weeks when i've not been working or moving to my new flat. "Wings" need work, and then there's only the tail fan and texture details left to go! It's a very chunky bird this one! I decided to go with a half-lip on this one. #miniaturemaking #art #artist #paleoart #paleoartist #paleoarte #utahraptor #dromaeosaur #velociraptor #sculpture #sculpt #sculptor #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #jw #jp #jurassicpark #jurassicworld #cretaceous #dinosaur #dinosaurart #dinosaurartwork #supersculpey #supersculpeyfirm #wip #workinprogress https://www.instagram.com/p/BuED14Tlqy7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wyhxt6rffj4l
Our Flag Means Death looks great!!
.... now i just gotta wait for the local library to get DVDs or something...
the young veins' instruments
note: please correct me if any of these are wrong! i unfortunately know almost nothing about guitars but i just think it's interesting/sweet to see how the 60s influences and inspirations extend to the guitars the young veins chose. i also like how it seems that ryan gave jon a couple of his old guitars!
Ryan
Epiphone "John Lennon Revolution" Casino Electric Guitar: John Lennon's guitar of choice during the later years of the Beatles. The model Ryan plays here was sold as a limited edition reproduction of Lennon's guitar (I think in 2009).
Jon
Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster NOS in Sunburst: Fender Stratocasters were hugely popular during the 1960s and have a very distinctive retro look. Jon's custom Stratocaster here looks very visually similar to a model played by George Harrison. The museum picture is from an exhibition at the National Music Museum in Bologna, Italy, where Sunburst Fender Stratocasters owned by Harrison were displayed.
Fender American Stratocaster in Surf Green: another classically 1960s model and the same guitar Ryan was playing during much of the Pretty Odd era. Possibly Jon borrowed it from him?
Rickenbacker 360 Electric Guitar in Jetglo: Rickenbacker guitars were used by many 1960s/70s stars, but most notably by John Lennon. Ryan also played a black Rickenbacker during the Pretty Odd era, which again he may have given to Jon for the Young Veins.
Rickenbacker 360 Electric Guitar in Fireglo: Jon also played an orange/red Rickenbacker that looks similar to those played by Carl Wilson (of the Beach Boys) and George Harrison.
Andy Soukal
Custom Höfner bass: a model of bass most famously played by Paul McCartney.
Nick Murray
1968 Ludwig drum set in White Marine Pearl: a make of drums very heavily associated with Ringo Starr, who had a black oyster pearl set.
Nick White
Korg Stage Vintage 1 Keyboard: an electric keyboard designed to look and sound authentically retro.
reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)
