Interestingly, in the "Translation of the New World" there are missed poems. For example, in Matthew 17:21. And there are several dozen of such places. This is because these verses are in later translations, but not in the Westcott-Hort translation. And since these translators used ancient manuscripts (4-6 centuries), today their translation is considered to be the closest to the original.The question is: if one of the translators added these verses from himself, then what guarantee is there that someone did not arbitrarily exclude these verses in the 4-6 centuries? How to define it? And if these verses have now been deleted from the “Translation of the New World,” then what is the guarantee that this is correct?It is possible that in the manuscripts of the 2nd or 3rd centuries these verses exist.I am confused by two questions: how can a person after such an action fully trust the Scriptures, and are not the words of Revelation 22:19 executed on those who perform such manipulations? I do not exclude that these verses are indeed absent in the original scrolls, but who will check it? Perhaps it was necessary to leave these verses in Scripture, at least in the form of a footnote?

Thank you! I only read Raymond Frenz's book "In Search of Christian Freedom" and there is a link to this magazine and articles. But they do not correspond to what is quoted in the book of Franz. (115 pages)

Revelation 14:4
by Sergey Antonov init turns out that on the basis of the book of revelation 14:4 the anointed ones have to be virgins?
how does the governing body explain this?.

The Watchtower society explains this verse as follows: virgins are those who have not profaned themselves with a vicious life. If you read the parallel verses it is clearly to the widow or divorced woman regard as unclean. As second-class citizens.

Yes, it is "figurative", but 144,000 are interpreted literally.

Holy Spirit
by Sergey Antonov injehovah's witnesses say that the holy spirit is inanimate.
but how then can you sin against the holy spirit, if he is not alive ?!
🤔 then it is more correct to say that it is not against the holy spirit, but against god..

But this is not logical. Nowhere is it said in the Bible that 144,000 is a literal number.
