Hi Dan, Sorry that you got chewed out for using the American Standard Bible. I started using other Bible translations in my talks in 1970 when I got a copy of the New English Bible. However, I always made it a point to introduce which translation I was using before reading the Scripture. Interestingly there were a number of JWs who would come up after the talk and ask about which Bible translations I was using. Some of them would comment that the verses which I read from the other Bibles were so much easier to understand when compared to the NWT. The NWT's wording is so wooden. I hated it when the NWT uses the term "system of things" when the original Greek word "eon" actually means "age" or "era." I forget the Scripture, but where most Bibles say "the end of the ages," the NWT says "the end of the systems of things." That must have been a term Freddy Franz invented.
