In the wake of 'Panorama', and in light of the mileage the WT has had out of the Catholic Church over the years, I flicked through the NWT I still have and found a little passage in Romans (2v1-5,13) which seems deliciously appropriate (I'm quoting the RAV here, as I'm in a public library and don't have my NWT with me):
"(1)Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge do the same things. (2) But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practise such things. (3)And do you think this, O man, you who judge those who do such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgement of God? (4)Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? (5) But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God. (...13)(for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified.)["For there is no partiality with God," NWT].
Hasta la vista, a$$holes...
