Greetings Truthfinder! In other words my friend, the text that we actually have has been changed by the NWT without any evidence whatsoever. :-( Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim: You're right. There is no manuscript evidence whatsoever. I see a lot of speculation and conjecture, but no evidence. The Watchtower organization claims that Jehovah "must" have been and "should" have been in the original Greek texts of the NT. But MUST be and SHOULD be do not equal IS. The NWT translates on the basis of what the JWs think "should" have been there. The KJV, NKJV, RSV, ASV, NASB, NIV, etc. translate on the basis of what IS there. "One need only look at the word-by-word English that appears under the Greek text in the Society's own Kingdom Interlinear Translation to see that the name JEHOVAH is not there in the Greek.'"

Radioman, the procedure the JW's and kindred cults use to lend a semblance of credence to many of their false and far-fetched claims, in addition to being unconvincing, is neither new nor clever. In the annals of human history and thought, it has always been possible to exhume some sort of pseudo-authoritarian "proof" to support virtually any position on any conceivable topic. It is easy enough to dig into dusty tomes of the past and come up with evidence of sorts that would overwhelmingly support a thesis that the earth is flat. The problem from a theological perspective issues from taking individual preconceptions of truth to scripture with demands that scripture itself conform to them. This practice, of course, entails the substitution of exegesis for eisegesis; or, in extreme cases such as one sees in portions of the New World Translation, a surgical treatment of scriptural text in which passages are blatantly mistranslated or excised completely from the text. While the numbers of persons who hold on to the flat-earth position have dwindled dramatically, the numbers who are deceived by the false doctrines of the cults are legion still and continue to rise. --Hank | ||||||

Hank, did you know the JW's don't believe in hell? It's a handy disbelief when you also believe Jesus is the archangel Michael. That's right, the JW's preach that Jesus is really Michael. Isn't that something? So by this, not only is a savior unnecessary, any savior at all, our putative Savior is a liar. On a sliding scale, one being Jesus and ten being Mohammed, I'd give these guys a six. I like the heat this cult generates in this forum. |

How would I rate the NWT as far as accuracy, honesty, and trustworthiness? On a scale of 1 to 10, with the KJV, NASB, Amplified being 1 and the Koran being 10, I would give the New World Translation a rating of 11. | ||||||
6 | Originals? | Rev 22:18 | EdB | 79386 | ||
Radioman2 I think by rating it you give it a degree of creditability. To me the NWT would be laughable if it weren’t for the fact so many are being deceived by it. EdB |

Yes, perhaps by rating the NWT I do give it a degree of credibility -- right under the Koran! :-) | ||||||
