Bible Note: Greetings Survior! No one is angry at you, nor does anyone hate you. This is a Christian Bible Study Forum. The JW's are a cult. We have had many cult members from various cults attempt to 'take over' this forum with their false doctrines. So, when it appeared that you might be a JW, you were politely asked if you were or not. You have refused to answer. We love you my friend. And, if you are in fact involved with this cult, I would love nothing more than to see you come to a saving knowledge of the truth. As for the site, I checked it out. It basically argues that those who oppose the NWT use the fact the this Gerber was involved in spiritism against them. This may or may not have occurred. Either way, it has nothing to do with the quality of the translation. All I can say is that I do not base my view of the NWT on the practices of this one man. I base my view on several things. 1) The 'translators' of the NWT refuse to identify themselves. Thus, no one knows if they are even qualified to translate anything. 2) The 'translation' itself does not appear to be a 'real' translation but a loose paraphrase of the KJV. 3) The 'translations' of the NWT are not in accord with actual Greek grammar. 4) And finally, the real experts in Greek all reject it. If rejecting false translations and false doctrine is to be considered a 'stifling environmnet', I suspect that this Forum will remain stifling for sometime to come. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
