This morning while reading at arjw, I found the text of this article.
* http://www.spiritwatch.org/jwnwt.htm
There is a disfellowshipped JW posting reams of apologetic nonsense on this newsgroup, and I wondered what would be his reaction to this scholarly examination of the NWT. (he complains regularly that there is little substance to ex-JW remarks, so I was eager to see his response to academic criticism of JW materials.) His response? He called the article 'long-winded' and averred that he was unable to read it all! Outright dismissal without even a pretense at fair evaluation. Sound familiar?
I wonder what this poor schlump will do when he is first faced with wading through any of Greg Stafford's interminable boring diatribes? I wonder how he will react when faced with Greg's brand of self-congratulation?
the stunning intellectual dishonesty of JW defenders is occasionally breathtaking, even for a hardened old coot like Mommie D. The only surprise here is that I can still be surprised by their willful blindness.
