I knew you were a girl, I pictured you as a wise native American grandmother, an artisan with long grey plaits.

I am English by the way but I'm mad about American history.

I can't remember what it was you said (fairly recently )that gave the game away because I too thought you were a guy at first !

by smiddy in

geoffrey jackson left school at the age of 15 and began pioneering , he never attended a university ,never studied ancient greek ,hebrew or aramaic at any recognized teaching academy , he has no certificates or credentials / qualifications from any place of learning that is approved by a competent body of religious instruction .. and by his own words at the australian royal commission , under oath he stated that was his primary role as a translator of scripture into other languages .. a 15 year old drop out from school in australia is the chief/ prime translator of the bible for jehovah`s witnesses world wide in their many languages that they preach in .. it would be very interesting to see his report cards for those few years he did attend school .. is it just me , or does anybody else see that his qualifications don`t come up to scratch to be a translator of the old testament or the new testament scriptures , and be taken seriously as a translator of either , into any language.. if i am wrong anywhere in this post feel free to correct me .. smiddy.

Oh he's overseeing the translation of the silversword into a range of polynesian language copies. There will almost certainly be bi - lingual, born-in witnesses' to do most of the work by now.

Peter and some of the apostles likely could not read AT ALL, in AD 40 or whatever unlettered meant illiterate AND uneducated. GJ is just formally uneducated. No miracle there.

Polynesians have one of the highest % per pop of JW's I believe. My husband whose mum is Samoan says they are just mad for religon of ANY kind.

Funny how they've replaced one volcano God for another.
