Robert King Really Is Donald Burney
It’s official. Lowly kingdom publish, Robert King, that ‘slightly disheveled-looking brother sitting at the back of the kingdom hall—you know, the one who makes the occasional, not-in-the-paragraph-comment during the meetings’ is a ‘true watchman of Jehovah’, even a prophet. Within his latest mailblog (http://e-jehovahs-witnesses-mail.blogspot.com/) you will find along with many other claims these quotes by Mr. King:
“My work is all about speaking out; declaring Jehovah's future judgments--as contained in Scripture. By definition that makes me a prophet.”
“…the prophecy confirms that even though his message is not received well because of animosity in the house of God--Jehovah's watchman is true.”
In so making such claims, it has become apparent that Robert King really is Donald Burney.
No, not literally. Not to my knowledge. It has been reported that Mr. Burney claims to be the prophet Elijah, one of the two witnesses, and the Messiah, sent to declare the wrongdoings of God’s wayward people, Jehovah’s Witnesses. And so Robert King, aka E-Watchman, has become just another Donald Burney in this regard, a self-appointed, self-proclaimed ‘prophet’ of Jehovah.

E-Watchman says from your link:
Jehovah’s Witnesses are, therefore, fully justified in inserting the name of Jehovah into texts that are direct quotations from the Hebrew where the name appears, and in other texts where the context warrants it.
Yet, the scriptures tell us differently:
Deuteronomy 4:2 New International Version (NIV)
2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you.
Revelation 22:18-19 New International Version (NIV)
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.
If Jehovah's Witnesses are going to "insert" a word into the scriptures, then why didn't they insert the word they claim is more accurate?
Have you read the introductory material in the Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures published by the Watchtower Society? On page 23 of the 1969 edition, it says: "While inclining to view the pronunciation 'Yahweh' as the more correct way, we have retained the form 'Jehovah' because of people's familiarity with it since the 14th century."
Here the Watchtower is saying they want to practice "what is familiar" with people, and not what is more "accurate"!
If your going to base your information on the reputation of man claiming to be Jehovah's Prophet, then your on your own!
