  my main point I was trying to get across was "most greek scholars donot" agree with the NWT.

  Most Greek scholars were educated a schools teaching the Trinity. So, it is only natural that they do not agree with the NWT.

  In German XJW-forum Infolink we are discussing Barbara Anderson's sueing of the Watchtower corporations.

  We notices a Watchtower Foundation, Inc.. Does anybody know what is about this Foundation? What is the purpose of Foundations in American law? (In Germany, we use "Stiftungen" to avoid taxes when the owner of a company dies. Because "Stiftungen" are not owned there are no heirs etc. Maybe this is similiar.)

  Who runs it, what is it's purpose and what is the difference compared to the other Watchtower Societies?

  Thanks for help.

  I think it is not that important to know who translated a Bible unless you want to launch some ad hominem attacks.

  The result should stand on its own and I think the NWT is not much more biased than any other translation. Okay, it is the only that is biased from a JW point of view.

  I don't see grave mistakes in the translations concerning the divinity of Christ and I agree with "herk" that Mantey's criticism is based on its Trinity origin.

  The only biased rendering for which I found no support at all is Hebrew 12:23 translating "pneuma" with "spiritual life".

  I would never use it alone and it is not my preferred readable version but it is interesting to compare. There are several NW renderings I would prefer to other translations.

  Have you all read Rolf Furuli's book on bias in Bible translation? I found it not that bad.

  Kent has stopped updating his site and Norway is seeing an increase.
  Too bad. ;-)

  Well, just kidding. But I expected a higher increase due to Sep 11th in 2001 (inactive JW in fear being reactivated) and due to the 15-min-arrangement.

  I guess 2003 will be a bad year for the WTS.

  Anti-semitism & JW's

  by avishai in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm not surprised @ a lot of the anti-semitic, or borderline anti-semitic statements on this site lately, as the jw's bash the jews almost as bad as the catholics, so that is part of our basic programming being raised jw.

  also, if you look at there publications, the "bad jews" i.e.

  saducees & pharisees have your typical hooknose, hitlerian "dirty jew" look about them, while jesus & friends usuallly look aryan.

  I have read this view is not called anti-semitism but is a religious anti-judaism.
