Plankton,
Still ignoring the blatant mis-translation of 'I have been'? I don't blame you. When you apply the scriptures to those who change/twist/and lie, there really is no answer.
I have a new question for you , or any other JW 'scholar' who defends the NWT as
'The New World Translation was prepared by anointed witnesses of Jehovah, who transmitted his thoughts and declarations as accurately as possible. These men have chosen to remain anonymous, since they did not seek prominence, and God's word should stand on it's own merits. The NWT is an accurate, largely literal translation from the original languages. It is not a loose paraphrase in which th authors add ideas that they believe will be helpful. Reasoning from the scriptures 1985 p276-277.
hahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaahahah.....sorry. ah hem.
Please explain to me how John 1;1 gets translated as 'the word was a god'....Tell me, did you read that in the gospel of a John?!
