BOE Letter Dated 3-2-2003
Dear Brothers,
Jehovah's Organization(tm) has increasingly become under attack by apostates and all those who fight Jehovah's Will(tm). Apostates(tm) have claimed that our New World Translation(tm) of the Holy Scriptures has no justification for using Jehovah's Holy Name(tm) in the Greek Scriptures(tm), scandalously claiming that there is not even one ancient text that contains that name in those Greek Scriptures(tm).
They have also attacked Jehovah's understanding of Daniel 4, Daniel 8 and Revelation 7, to name only a few.
We wish to find persons of "Good Will(tm)", that is to say, we want to find "honest-hearted(tm)" ones(tm) who will accept Jesus' underserved kindness and become a part of the Great Crowd(tm) and will accompany the many of us who are deserving into the Paradise Earth(tm) which will soon(tm) be given to those deserving of us.
Therefore, in order to address the threats and lies of some(tm) apostates(tm), we have instituted a new, simplified arrangement(tm).
Brothers, we should no longer say that our one, true faith(tm) is "Bible-Based(tm)". Since our heavenly father Jehovah speaks to us by means of his holy spirit, we really have a "Jehovah-based(tm)" arrangement.
This simplification arrangement will not allow those who oppose us to use the Bible to challenge our beliefs in the future. We have Jehovah backing us, and the Bible should only be used (in moderation) when it clearly supports our "Jehovah-Based(tm)" beliefs.
Jehovah knows what is best for us, and we can trust in Him, even when his Word disagrees with what He tells us. This is why our faith is "Jehovah-Based(tm)" and no longer to be considered "Bibled-Based(tm)."
With Warm Christian Love(tm),
Watchtower Tower Bible and Tract Society
