The "air of intellectual scholarship" is a moot point.
Interestingly, all ministers of churches I've attended read from the Greek directly in services - no need for an interlinear for them.
I've shown the KIT to some who've looked at it as a bit of a joke (intellectually of course!)
In fact, despite the Society telling Witnesses to stay away from the evil Slave Class, the Society did business with them, selling them the Diaglotts, their only customers for thje books.

again, they are a publishing company!
Actually the KIT, from what I gather, is a decent interlinear. This is why it shoots some big holes in a few of the NWT's dubious practices, such as "Jehovah" in the NT, "Me" in John 14:14, etc.
Nope BSoM, I like blunt. Been accused of it myself.
I'll keep that in mind
it becomes an adjective so she said it could or should be translated "godlike" or "divine" but not God with a capt. G or implying that the Word was the same God Jesus worshipped nor "a god". I always found it interesting.
Hi:
Actually, many of the translations that the Watchtower uses to support their rendering of John 1:1 may translate John 1:1 as the Word was Divine. Upon closer analysis of these translators' beliefs you will find that most of them are Trinitarians. For the Trinitarian a Divine being has all of the qualities of God and therefore anyone who has all of the qualities of God is God. So, to translate the verse and the Word was Divine is consistent with Trinitarian thought.
