Credibel sources have told me about a very old sister (in good standing) who was never called on during the large meetings because on the Book Study she started each and every comment with: "Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary and all the Saint" and then she would continue with her comment as anyone else would. The elders talked to her a number of times but gave up in the end.

Is the NWT a translation or simply a rewording w/ edits ?

by mP in

did they really start from teh greek, hebrew and aramaic texts and translate or did freddy and the friends simply take other bibles and reword each and every sentence.

naturally during this exercise they would have altered the text to make it comptaible with their eschatology.

i think this best explains what really happen during those sessions as they had no literary skills they honestly couldnt read the originals.. .

Agree completely withJ. Hofer on translations other than English. The methodology for translating the NWT to other languages would be to translate a long list of 'keywords' with one or maximum two alternative words you could use during the translation. A computer aided translation tool would bring up these words during translation and you could not deviate from the words set down at the beginning of the translation work.
A brother knowledgeable in Greek volunteered to assist in the translation but was told that his knowledge would not help but hinder the work, now figure out how that is to be interpreted!
P.S. By the way, isn’t this the humor section?

Here is a link to the Anonymous pdf book:

No reference to the WTS but shows their views on pedophilia and their treatment of Scientology. The book also shows that its not really what one would call a group, its more like a spontanously organised on-line task force.
