Thanks again oompa...I also sent a copy of your info to a few other friends of mine. I'm going to check the other thread you mentioned.
*sigh*
The conversation actually started with my friend because I was sharing some of the info from the thread on "men kept for unnatural purposes." That was fascinating information provided by Nark and Leo.
Beduhn (??think that's the name...where's annomaly when you need her)
*waves* I'm here! Yes, that's the guy. He's very positive about the NWT (which winds up the ECs no end LOL), and applauds their using a form of the Divine Name in the OT. But he thinks the insertion of 'Jehovah' in the NT is totally uncalled for. A BeDuhn quote you won't find in the WT:
"To use 'Jehovah' where the original Greek reads kurios is no more legitimate than using 'Lord' where the original Hebrew reads YHWH." - p.176
Truth will come to those who seek it.
I agree with the phrase that some want their ears tickled. I want the truth! Whether I choose to follow it or not, is a separate issue. But I want the whole unadulterated truth. No hidden scandals, inserted names, lying elders, coverups, and other guano.
I just googled Beduhn and "New World Translation" and this is what I got:

The very first hit is a Wikipedia article.
