Makes you wonder if this is the start of some kind of pr villainization of india.
I agree - and it further makes me wonder who would be behind such a thing?
Pakistan? That would be a laugh - Pakistan does not exactly have a high example for women's rights...

read a very interesting opinion article on cnn last night.
"why i raise my kids without god".. .
the writer aluded to the fear of the possibility of one's life ending forever (along with our beloved children's).
There were Sun-worship religions in which fear of the Sun not coming back up in the morning seemed to be as great or greater than the fear of death.
once i was little boy in fort worth, texas living with my maw maw and paw paw and mommy.. then, i was an 18 year old 6'4'' skinny 165lb religious nut being dipped in a baptismal during a local assembly.. suddenly, i was 20 and listening to a jail cell door clang behind me as a conscientious objector.. wow!
23 years old and put on parole until my 6 years sentence was ended!

now that we know it will be baltimore ravens vs. new england patriots in the afc championship and atlanta falcons vs. san fransisco 49ers in the nfc championship - what do you think ?
James, James, James... why would a Cowboys fan ever want the 49ers to ever go to the Super Bowl again?
I am not a Cowboys fan this year - and will not be again until Jerry Jones hires a competent general manager and keeps out of his way.
did they really start from teh greek, hebrew and aramaic texts and translate or did freddy and the friends simply take other bibles and reword each and every sentence.
naturally during this exercise they would have altered the text to make it comptaible with their eschatology.
i think this best explains what really happen during those sessions as they had no literary skills they honestly couldnt read the originals.. .
Well stated, On The Way Out. This is exactly what I think really happened.
does anyone remember the rationale that was used in rebranding "back calls" as "return visits"?.
while on the subject does anyone else remember any theocratic name changes like,.

Remember that they had the Emphatic Diaglot from a non-JW author whose widow bequethed it to the Watchtower Society. This was an interlinear translation of the NT from Greek which I am sure proved very helpful when making the NWT New Testament.
I have absolutely no confidence that the NWT was actually a word by word translation from original language records - as the original poster says, they really did not have the scholarship available to accomplish such a thing.
