    slim,

    Do you think that these guys like to fancy themselves as sort of biblical scholars? Of course, one could argue from a biblical perspective that Jehovah did not send his firstborn son to the Jewish scholars in Jerusalem or Alexandria, but the fishermen and other plebeians in Galilee, so in this sense, the bible belongs to such unsophisticated ones...

    Your thoughts?

    This is what I wonder too, who was on the new committee? The old committee consisted of Nathan H. Knorr, Fredrick W. Franz, Albert D. Schroeder, George Gangas, and Milton Henschel. So the new commitee was Geoffrey Jackson and proboably a dozen other people, and of course its likely none of them have degrees in Greek/Hebrew.
