Very soon that Zombie event would be eliminated from the NWT.
AS: if the mightiest force in the universe, and there are truly mighty forces at play here, can not manage not come up with a clear text,
how about the rest of the fantasy tale that rests on that foundation?

Thats what makes me angry
over the Bible. Mindless and reckless writings all over the Bible, for the gullible to believe. Sorry Christians.
And
I was a fool for 11 years believing and preaching these nonsense.
I was recently shocked to discover that they've removed John 8:1-11, the account of "The Woman Caught in Adultery (Pericope Adulterae)."
Perhaps because she should at least have been disfellowshipped and shunned.
Yeah later addition but cute story
Any New World Translation verse that has brackets.
It is very odd that JWs have a problem the ressurection of the holy ones as they accept other ressurections. To strong attest to his Deity perhaps?
Most of these 'changed' verses are not changed at all. John 1:1 requires and insertaion of "the". Robert Pryce commented on this very fact awhile ao.
The 'impale' is a word change to keep up with torture stake. (In reality torture stake is valid since a cross is a torture stake)
The aforementioned John 8:1-11 does not deserve an answer!
However the largest places in the 1984 NWT were in the Old Testmanet. The changing of Jeremiah 5:8 to include testicles. The dumbass changing of Job 6:6 from Mallows to 'slimey juice of a marshmellow'.
The insertation of {other} in brakets in the NT is somewhat questionable as in {in union} but since the theology of each book preaches a different Jesus it is hard to harmonize the NT
The insertation of Jehovah into the NT is a half-done job since serveal translations have YHWH in the NT many more times then the Watchtower. The fact is that replacing the word Lord with Jehovah ruins the text sicne it is obvious that the author of the Gospel of John and many Pauline letters are not preaching the same God as YHWH but a higher God.(YHWH is a demierage)
Replacing Kurios with Jehovah 237 times in the New Testament certainly legitimizes, in the mind of Witesses anyway, the Watchtower's emphasis on the name Jehovah.
Sadly, over half those insertions are not based on quotations from the Old Testament where the Tetragrammatton is found. So the majority of replacements are designed simply to support Watchtower doctrine.
It's rather revealing that they ignore certain NT quotations from the OT where the Tetragrammatton is found as in Philippians 2:11 which reads
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.
