We all have been exposed to the Watchtower scholars here on JWD.
In reality, these people are nothing more than JW apologists who insist the twisted doctrines spewed out of the mouth of the false prophets in Brooklyn, New York are divinely inspired.
However, the apologists are corrrect in one respect.
Many of the scholars quoted and often misquoted by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society in its publications have been divinely inspired. For instance, W.E. Vine, Will Durant, John McClintock and Dr. James Strong to name a few were theologians. That's right, they were members of the very groups that are condemned in the pages of the WATCHTOWER as being pawns of Satan.
W.E. Vine, M.A., was a classical scholar, skilled expositor, and a trustworthy theologian. Recognized internationally for his outstanding Greek scholarship, his Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, first published in 1939, represents the fruit of his lifetime labors and is an unsurpassed classic in its field. W.E. Vine was a Missionary Statesman. It was in December, 1909, that Mr. Vine was asked by W. H. Bennet and R. E. Sparks of Echoes of Services, to join in the work at Bath. Echoes of Service is a monthly record of missionary efforts by laborers from the British Isles. The editors not only corresponded with hundreds of missionaries but also channeled funds from their home congregations. Vine handled as many as sixty to seventy letters a day, many of them he personally answered, or dictated to his secretary. It was one of his remarkable characteristics that from early rising in the morning until late retirement at night he would fill every moment of his day with varied activities. During this time, he became a counselor and confidant to scores of workers who faced grave perplexities. Vine continued this work until his homecall in 1949. Mr. Vine was constantly preaching the Gospel and teaching the Scriptures. Around the year 1905, Mr. C. F. Hogg teamed up with Mr. Vine to conduct a correspondence course of Bible study. These studies in 1 Thessalonians and then in Galatians moved W. E. Vine into a wider sphere of influence. Thereafter his writing ministry expanded. His collected writings fill five large volumes (published by Gospel Tract Publishers of Glasgow). But surely his greatest contribution to the Church of God was his Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words. W. E. Vine has put all English-speaking Bible students in his debt. The English reader with little or no knowledge of Greek has, of course, concordances and lexicons. These provide a skeleton: Vine clothes it with the flesh and sinews of living exposition, and in so doing makes available for the ordinary reader the expert knowledge contained in the more advanced works. In a preface to the dictionary, W. E. Vine wrote: "In any work in which we engage as servants of Christ, His word ever applies, 'When ye shall have done all those things that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which was our duty to do' (Luke 17:10). So with the reminders given by the Apostle Paul, 'it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful . . . and what hast thou that thou didst not receive?' (1 Cor. 4:2,7). We ever have reason for humbling ourselves before God, for none of us knows yet as he ought to know, and at the Judgment Seat of Christ 'the fire itself shall prove each man's work of what sort it is' (1 Cor. 3:13)."
James Strong, LL.D., S.T.D, former professor of exegetical theology at Drew Theological Seminary, spent more than thirty-five years preparing his landmark concordance. First published in 1890 Strong's remains the most widely used concordance and dictionary of Bible words from the King James Version of the Bible.

Now why would God have his mouthpiece and only channel to mankind here on earth turn to the very men who have been schooled in Christendom's schools of divinity for insight and understanding of the deep meaning of bible words???
