Crossan argues that Constantine dictated the formation of the canon? I thought that was Dan Brown.
Bruce Metzger wrote a good book on the formation of the canon. David Trobisch's book is good too!

Rather than simply calling BS on a website simply trying to help other exJWs, perhaps it would be more helpful if you shared your sources that are more accurate than the historians at The History Channel and others. I'm certain the website was sincere in their attempt at accuracy, and doesn't want to further spread a "BS myth".
Believe me Leolaia has written on this subject at some considerable length in the past. Have a search and you may find.

Either way, if the JW bible originates from the Catholic canon and they've never tried nor wanted to look beyond that chosen compilation, doesn't this make them a sect off of the Catholic Church?
Seems ironic since they LOVE to bash Catholicism sooooo much.
