TTW. you are WAY off.
BTW, did GOD ever speak with the voice of Archangel?
Mad JW . I do not believe that I am way off. I am only stating facts. Bold scripture that you can't deny if you're a true Christian....a Christian believes the bible, right? If you follow Watchtower teachings then this should look familiar
Taking verses out of their immediate context.
Refusing to read verses in the entire biblical context.
Inserting their theological presuppositions into the text.
Altering the Biblical text to suit their needs.
Latching onto one verse to interpret a host of others.
Changing the meanings of words.
Proclaiming some passages to be figurative when they contradict their doctrines.
Adding to the Word of God.
Just some of the issue that true Christians have with the Watchtower's tactics and interpretations.

I KNOW, TT- we feel the same @ CHURCHianity!
I have spent 40 years intensly studying different translations, and the Bible's background- and ALWAYS prove our NWT true to any who give any example they feel wrong! I FOCUS on the Hebrew and/or Greek, the context, and the others connected scriptures- always LOOKING to see if what I have seen to be True ISN'T.
If you feel me wrong- give one example at a time, so we can look at it closely!

Mad JW- Are you familair with the scripture that says 'always learning, but never getting accurate knowledge'? The obvious answer to your question is answered by the fact that no other organization or school of theology recognizes the NWT as an accurate, scholarly, untampered interpretation.
I don't want to get to technical here, cause folks won't read things that are too lengthy, so let me just pick one example ..ok?
ego eimi = I am. That is first week of Greek school you learn that. I am, I will, he is, she is, he will, she will, etc etc. John chap8:verse58 correctly translated has Jesus quoted 'before Abraham came to be, I AM' The Watchtower NWT changes the scripture to read 'before Abraham came into existence, I have been'
That is a change by the Watchtower to cover up Jesus's use of the 'I AM' title used by God in Exodus 3:14. In the Greek Septuagint the Watchtower interprets ego eimi as I am in Exodus 3 :14. In the gospel of John, the Watchtower interprets ego eimi as 'I am 'everytime except John 3;16.
Pretty clear cut and dry, don't cha think? You're a thinker, right?

No, he/she is NOT a thinker.
Thank you, TTWSYF.
Palmtree, you are quite welcome and I want to thank Stephen [Chalam], for always informative posts. Thanks Steve.'

I've been sitting back and watching what Mad has done and said for several days now. And I have deliberately not posted because of his nonsense.
Also appreciative of Chalam on this board.
Yes,I agree totally. This thread was taken over for a spell by folks attacking the trinity of all things. It's like 'hello, did you check the post headline?' Can you add anything to this discussion?
He's only here to plug his website and insult people under the guise of "witnessing". Nothing he says makes any sense.
I'm disappointed so many here bit on his lure.
You and Mary had the best responses, which was more than he deserved, as he has no intention of real discussion.
too bad, he and all should embrace our Lord and Savior. He certainly has no 40 years experience interpreting scripture. That much is quite obvious....not trying to dig at you MJW, but be honest with this board and yourself. If you are true, people will want to listen to truth.
I agree that I like Mary's posts, but I don't always agree with her... I hardly agree with myself.lol.
