  I am posting this for another person on the board, who couldn't do it because of the posting limits here. These are her comments:

  This is a copy of the 1942 JWs Emphatic Diaglott! It says NOTHING about Jehovah neither in the Preface nor the INDEX...(hes not even LISTED!) And get this.... John 1:1 says the logos IS GOD!! I almost FLIPPED OUT!
  Attached are the Preface, the credits page and the 1st page of JOHN!
  When exactly did Jehoover jump on down here and FIX the trinity LIGHT?
  
  ooooh....this burns me. Is this old news? LOLOL
  (I only copied the actual text of John 1:1. If anyone wants to see the rest, I will post it.

  The Diaglott was produced by a member of an offshoot of the Christadelphians. The Christadelphians deny the deity of Christ, yet have no problem with John 1:1. Why? Because they say that Jesus isn't the Logos!

  Its true. But you also can read in the left column, in the word for word translation: " a god "

  Gin...how true,but one problem still excists.......the "a," in John 1:1, doesn't belong there,plus it was never there.In ancient proper greek no direct article,plus the "a," was added....not the greek,but the "a," itself was added.

  Hi FrankRaven,

  I was not trying to defend any position in this case. Only establishing a fact. In not qualified to argued about this topic.
