the book, reasoning from the scriptures does not inform the reader on who are the nwt scholars nor their education background.
could someone provide some information concerning the nwt scholars?

Thank you for the correction. My post was not presented clearly and did not proof read it. I tabulated the data but it came out as a block. Neiriglissar should have read a reign of 4 years proposed. Evil Merodach has a two year reign according to Berossus but 18 years according to Josephus. EVIL-MERODACH in Insight On The Scriptures, 1988, Vol. 1, p.773.

elderwho There is no great difficulty in reconstructing a schema for the Babylonian dynasty from 625 to 539 BCE. Wt chronology presents the reigns of these rulers in accordance with the secular records beginning with Neb's first year, Nisan 624 ending with Belshazzar in Tishri,539. Similarly, a comprehensive chart for the Divided Monarchy is presented in the Aid and Insight Volumes and one can see the names of the Judean kings who reigned in Judah during that period 625-539 BCE of sum 86 years. These were Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin and Zedekiah. WT chronology has established the reigns for the Neo-Bablonian dynasty beginning with Nebuchadnezzar: Nebuchadnezzer reigned 43 years fro Nisan 624-582 Evil Merodach reigns of 2 and 18 years proposed,- 581 -? Neriglissar reigns of 2, 4, 18 years proposed ? labashi-Marduk reign of 9 months - ? Nabonidus reign of 17 years - 566- 539 There is only some certainty of 60 years with a shortfall of 26 from the biblical data for the Judean reigns of 18 years and exile of 68 years, a total of 86 years. Jehoiakim reigned 11 years from 628 - 618 Jehoiachin reigned 3 months ending in 617 Zedekiah reigned 11 years from 617 -607 The length of the Judean kings is some 22 years up to the fall of Jerusalem in 607. Your turn to supply a chronology of the Divided Monarchy? scholar BA MA Studies in Religion

I do accept biblical standards and heartily embrace the two-three witness burden of proof concept. So, what, where, who are your witnesses to the identity of the Committe. There are NO witnesses to the identity of the NWT only claims by some people who claim to know because these claimed to have worked on the NWT project. No doubt there were many people involved in the NWT project from proofreaders, secretaries, priinters etc but such proximity does not endorse, substantiate, prove the identity of the scholars on the comittee otherwise it would not have been possible for a gaurantee of anonymity by the publishing agency namely the WTS of Pennsylvannia.

I read with amusement your stupid criticisms of the NWT in your previous post and you are a little upset about my modest claims about the NWT's superiority. You now challenge me to prove these modest claims and I am more than happy to provide specific examples, but I hesitate because when I have challenged others in respect to chronology there is a total reluctance from WT critics to participate. I ask myself as to the sincerity of such critics and whether it is worthwhile for me to respond to your request,
.But, all is not lost. In order to demonstrate the genuineness of my convictions I will respond to your specific questions on the NWT and will provide relevant examples of the superiority of the NWT in a private manner. You will need to contact me by the messenging service provided on this board. I will only respond to matters that indicate that you have done some research by consulting reference works and the journals. I would ask that such an interchange will be private and that you will not publicly disclose such matters.

When confronted with the need to supply evidence for your beliefs, you cowardly run away. When challenged you give pitiful excuses. Why do not you admit that there is no positive and direct evidence that identifies those scholars on the NWT Committee and that your claims are based on opinion, speculation and gossip. If there were insiders who claim to know about this matter then why is it that there is no substantive evidence that can be used.? Is it not the course of wisdom to get ALL the facts before replying to a matter?

Your reply is vacuous as you repeat rumour and gossip. The mentioning of people who worked closely with prominent people such as proof-readers and secretaries proves nothing, All it proves is that certain people worked on or were associated with the NWT project. In order to know for certainty who the scholars on the Commitee were, some archival documents or credible oral testimony should be presented. Raymonf Franz certainly had proximity to the NWT project and those working on it but was only able to produce a list of names without supporting evidence. Until there is substantive evidence the names of the committee remain unknown and unknowable.
By the way I am not being disembowelled on Channel C as I can quite easily deal with Jonsson and anyone else. My challenge on that board remains unanswered and if you are up to it then why do not you contribute. I remember putting up such a challenge on this board and you never responded, For example, Where is the king list for the Divided Monarchy and What precise calender year for the Fall of Jerusalem. Is it 586 or is it 587? And do not give the baloney that the biblical data is amiss.

The so-called identity of the NWT Committee is based on information from former insiders and you call me 'moronic'. What evidence exists for such claims? Why is there no written or archival material available to support such rumour, gossip or innuendo? The plain fact of the matter is that the condition for the gift of the NWT to the Soiciety was that the names of that Committee were forever more to remain unknown and unknowable.

Our wonderful and accurate chronology leading to 1914 and based upon a solid and calcuable date 607 BCE. The FDS has shown itself to be led by Holy Spirit by using a methodology that truly elevates God's Word in contrast to other chronologies that are enslaved to higher criticism.

Believe you me, I am deadly serious when I make modest claims about the NWT. Its brilliance can only be appreciated by reading and using it and comparing it with ALL other inferior translations.

The identity of the NWT is unknown and further, unknowable. There has been considerable speculation by insiders and outsiders as to their identity but nobody has provided any evidence, oral and written to confirm the speculation. Hence,it is the greatest of all mysteries and will remain so forever. What a powerful testimony to the most accurate, brilliant translation ever produced making our Heavenly Father rejoice.
