Something Screwy With WT's New Bible!

JW GoneBad

Not sure if this has already been brought up.

It appears that the verses in Matthew 21:29 and Matthew 21:30 have been transposed from one translation to the other.

The 'old' NWT in vs 29 & 30 states:

'In answer this one said, "I will sir, but did not go out"'. Verse 30 reads: 'Approaching the second, he said the same. In reply this one said, "I will not' Afterwards he felt regret and went out."'

The 'new' NWT in vs 29 & 30 states:

'In answer this one said, "I will not," but afteward, he felt regret and went out.' Verse 30 reads: 'Approaching the second, he said the same. This one replied, "I will, Sir, but did not go out.'"

All of "Christendom's" translations read the way that the 'new' NWT now reads. Apparently this is an error contained in the 'old' NWT. Christendom had it right all along. I don't remember any of the GB making mention of this correction at the AGM!

Interesting. . . .

I noticed also that the word 'Gaza' had been mis-spelled' in the 'old' NWT some 22 times. For example @ Acts 8:26 it is spelled Ga'za.

Whereas, now in the 'new' NWT it is spelled Gaz'a through out. In cross checking, again it appears that 'Christendoms' Bible Translations have had it correct all along.

True, these are minor corrections. But it makes one wonder how many other 'minor' corrections have been made.

Seems to me that 'Holy Spirit' has been screwing around with the 'New World Bible Translation Committee' of the WTBTS!

I have always suspected that many of the weird pronunciations which only JW's use have not actually been more correct than the usual way, but simply another way for the Witnesses to stand out as different; cult-speak.
