Just got off the phone with my best JW friend. We were talking about the current congo politics, blah blah blah.
She said she is sure I know about and discussed the current KM article on the Society not endorsing any outside literature. She said they are afraid of "apostasy." I told her they are not afraid of apostasy, they are afraid of people "finding out the truth." Silence.
We talked further. I told her everything was done because they thought the end would be here in '75, and they had no idea the information highway would be in full swing today. A regular person today has all the tools the "translation committee" had back then in the '50s and much much more. Then she made a comment about the NWT. Then I told her about "Jehovah" being inserted in the NT 273 times. I told her there is NO tetragrammaton in the NT. Silence. Then..."you're kidding." Nope. In fact I told her, I can still feel the lump in the pit of my stomach when finding that out. I told her about the Society selectively quoting Beduhn (??think that's the name...where's annomaly when you need her) in a WT or AW article that said you don't need to read any other translations but the NWT. Then I told her "I wonder where the rest of his quotes are." The Society never fails to disappoint.
Anyway, she wants the info. I told her I'd give her the name and she can google away. But to enter at her own risk.
Ahhh...it's been a Great Day!!!
