Thank you soooo much for sending me the quote. What an awesome quote, but then as I read on it basically says that the translation is not perfect and contains mistakes . . . .
Is there any way you could send me a copy of the next page/s so I can continute to read what is says
Thanks so much
Karen
Don't forget this famous quote!
Watchtower-1957-February-15-p.101
"Do You Know the King James Version?" that there is no sound basis for any Christian tobelieve that the King James Versionor any other translation is the exclusive version of theBible's Author." Scan:
Windsong:
Do you want a scan of page 119? Pages 117 and 118 have already been scanned above.
Just let me know!
Cheers! Atlantis-
Windsong what book were you reading at the time you lost the page with the WT quote?
I found something in the WT 1943 pg.94 stating the Authorized Version(KJV) and another version were the "best of all translations". I don't know how to download the copy I scanned to this sight.

You guys are awesome. Sure you can send me the scanned page 119 as well - thanks
I wasn't reading a book - I'm doing some research on the internet as I had JW's come to my door - they actually came back 3 times - haven't come back since. 2 men came - one in his 50's and the other looked like he was about 23 or so. The two men weren't really knowledgeable to the tune of answering me quickly, but the third time they sent a women who was. I since found out that they haven't come back because the two men were from out of town only here for 2 weeks and the lady moved a few days later. My friend who is a JW (we never talk religion) told me she moved.
I've always wanted to talk to them but never knew what to say so I started asking them - how do you know your religion is the right one. I told them I have a Mulsim and a mormon friend and they also claim to have the right religion. They said because they use God's name Jehovah - so I said well God when asked what his name was in Exodus (I couldn't remember the verse so I told them they knew their bibles better than me - they would know where it was - so they found it for me) when asked by Moses swho he should say sent him, said he was "I am" and the God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob has sent me" so to me it wasn't all that important that I call God Jehovah.
I said if I am talking to the God who created this universe, who is all knowing, everywhere etc. then he knows I am talking to him. They didn't dispute that. Then they said that they had the right translation as there are many out there that are false. - I totally agreed with them. I asked them how they knew their's was the right translation and they said because it was translated from the greek and they had the greek to english translation - would I like one and I said "YES!!" I've been trying to get a KIT for a long time - no one has one. In fact my girlfriend who is a JW didn't even know what it was. They had to order it they said and I'm still waiting to get it. Now those men have left town and the women has moved so it's looking like I may not get it. My girlfriend said it could take up to a month depending on when the hall puts in their order to Brooklyn.
Anyways I've been doing some research so I can answer them better or dispute what they tell me biblically. I came across that quote about the KJV being a good translation and then closed the window by accident and thought it was from a watchtower, but it was from "Creation"
Thanks for all your help
Cheers Karen
WOW...if this isn't food at the proper time, I don't know what is! Thank you, Atlantis for the scans. You are fast!!
Thank you, windsong......for asking the question. I am at the moment arguing debating with a witness about the NWT. I never saw this before. Saved and filed.
Hi Tatiana:
If you can get a hold of the KIT (Kingdom Interlinear Translation you will see where they make a lot of errors. They transcibe under the greek and then they have the NWT on the right side and you can see where they add words to change meanings.
I also found a web site who has lessons using the NWT to dispute their doctrine - it's quite awesome. I used it with my son especially who had been studying with them for 3 years. I was trying to tell him Jesus was diety and God in the flesh and of course he would not believe it. Study one , two and three on God, Jesus and who is the true God. If you would like the web page I can send it to you.
Also why did they use the KJV for almost 70 years and then come up with the NWT - because they had to change things to support their doctrines.
Cheers Karen
I'm sure many of you know that the WT printed the KJV and distributrd them right up to just a couple of years ago (around 2005 I believe).
