VM44	Re: Jehovah, and Watchtower Dishonesty
	Good article Maximus. I do not know if Bruce Metzger wrote the Watchtower, but the noted Greek scholar Dr. Julius R. Mantey did. Dr. Mantey, along with H.E. Dana, had written the book, "A Manual Grammar of the Greek New Testament", which the Watchtower Society had been using in order to justify the correctness of their Greek translations of key Bible scriptures. Dr Mantey objected to the WT misquoting him, and wrote a letter to the Watchtower, dated July 11, 1974. Towards the end of the letter he wrote: "In view of the preceding facts, especially because you have been quoting me out of context I here with request you not to quote the Manual Grammar of the Greek New Testament again, which you have been doing for 24 years. " The full text of Dr Mantey's Letter to the WTS may be found at this web address: http://www.macgregorministries.org/jehovahs_witnesses/dr_mantey_lt.html I do not know if Dr Mantey ever received a reply to his letter, but I believe an edict must have been issued in Brooklyn not to use Dr Mantey's name in any WT publication. For instance, in the March 22, 1987 issue of the Awake! magazine, Nicholas Kip told his story about "How Knowing Greek Led Me to Know God" In a footnote to this article, the Grammar Manual is given as a reference, but only the author Dana is listed!! --VM44
