  The RA is underway and there is a common thread through the first day. They have a "presenter" who comes across as an educated historian handling early bible fragments and translations as if he knows what he's doing. The impression given is that he is an unassailable font of all knowledge, with his rich Scottish accent he prints himself as across as Professor Gravitas.

  I find this disturbing, we have no idea who he is or what if any his qualifications are to speak such with authority. So, does any one know who he is or where he has appeared from. Is he a fraud or is he educated?

  many "ra ra ra ra raah" are caught in spiritual prostitution, aka, "a bad romance"

  it's a babylon thing

  (not my bag, baby)

  but same idea as what wt does

  always a good idea to get out of those kinds of relationships

  ("get out of her, my people!")

  if you know what i mean

  perhaps time will tell

  "wisdom is proved by its children"

  perhaps he has a degree, but if you are disturbed, you could just block your ears

  Slidin Fast, that's interesting. The R&F, not tertiary educated, for the most part, will probably believe that they are privy to great insights by some great scholar. The bottom line is, is he making any particularly profound points?

  Is he doing a sort of "show and tell" of manuscript fragments*? What point is he making? That the NWT is the bestest translation evaaaah? 🙄

  Do they make these convention talks available as videos later?

  Would he be the Andy Schofield of FA's last post?

  * They would be facsimiles; not even the WT could afford real manuscripts.
