1 | Question on spiritual covering? | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 12030 | ||
New World Translation is based on mystery and deception. Charles Taze Russell would not disclose who translated the NWT version, but since he came up with it many suspect he was the writer. It is court testimony, of his divorce in March 1913 I might add, that he Russell could neither read nor translate Greek or Hebrew. Since he came up with the NWT and since he could not translated it from the original, one has to suspect he copied it with his additions and subtractions from NKV. Hence he made himself guilty of violating Rev 22:18. The case for the NWT to be a document of fraudulent origins containing many grammatical contradictions of the original language has been well documented in Dr. Walter Martin’s Book “The Kingdom of the Cults.” Bethany House Publishers. Anyone that would hold to such teaching in the light of the overwhelming evidence of deception and fraud is simply being deceived and blinded to the truth. |

YOu wrote "The New World Translation is based on mystery and deception. Charles Taze Russell would not disclose who translated the NWT version, but since he came up with it many suspect he was the writer." __________________ Where do you come up with such nonsense? Seriously! Charles Taze Russell was born in 1852, he died in October 1916. He used the King James Version throughout his ministry. The New World Translation (NWT) was published in parts in the 1950s and completed in 1961. Charles Taze Russell had nothing to do with the NWT, he never snactioned it he never discussed it, and he knew nothing of it! |

RR144 Right you are, I get all excited when dealing with Russellites. Beside it might as well have been Russell since the people that did it were even less qualified. While the members of the committee have never been identified officially by the Watchtower, many Witnesses who worked at the headquarters during the translation period were fully aware of who the members were. They included Nathan H. Knorr (president of the Society at that time), Frederick W. Franz (who later succeeded Knorr as president), Albert D. Schroeder, George Gangas, and Milton G. Henschel (currently the president). None of these men had any university education except Franz, who left school after two years, never completing even an undergraduate degree. In fact, Frederick W. Franz, then representing the translation committee and later serving as the Watchtower Society’s fourth president, admitted under oath that he could not translate Genesis 2:4 from the Hebrew.

Jehovah's Witnesses are anything BUT "Russellites" he may have founded the Watchtower Society, but he in no way would endorse what they teach and believe today. In fact were he alive today he would be excommunicated by the very organization he founded for apostasy! RR |

To me they are Russellites. If you want to call them something else fine. A cult is a cult by any name. EdB |

You realize there is a group who go by the name of "Bible Students" These are the true heirs of Russell's ministry, and they are at odds both organizationally and doctrinally with the Jehovah's Witnesses, viewed as evil and apostate in the eyes of the Jehovah's Witnesses. If the Witnesses were truly followers of Russell, there wouldn't be such a hatred on the part of the JW's, would there? RR |
