NWT - Accurately translated bible rumor

by Girlie in

has anyone on here heard of this rumor or even know if this is true?

supposedly, on an episode of jeopardy, one of the questions asked was which version of the bible was considered the most accurately translated from the original hebrew and greek text and the answer was the new world translation.

i tried looking this up online to no avail.

Selection of the JWs in 1918/1919 - how might a JW attempt to show from the Bible

by insearchoftruth in

i had asked my wife, who is in the study phase with a jw sister about the selection of the jws by jc in 1918/1919 time frame and she had actually never heard of that.. the husband of this woman she is studying with has been chomping at the bit to talk to me...well my wife said she will ask him to come show me, using only the bible, how this selection was made...of course she did not clear this request with the dubman before telling me she would do this.. i am guessing he will be there when i get home from work tomorrow, she is also torturing our son with a bs now (her son from a previous marriage).. what sort of reach do you think he will try to make to show this...i am guessing he will try to show 1914 from the daniel/revelation stuff, if he does this i am going to ask him to show 607bce from a non jw source....since i believe it is 586/587 bce as a starting date......i hope to keep him on the 1918/1919 topic, and have some examples of their beliefs from that era to talk about as well.

// .module-subheader article from: australian associated pressa dying man has been granted the right to refuse life-saving medical treatment on the grounds of his religious beliefs.. the man, aged in his 70s and known only as "mr a", was unconscious when admitted to the emergency unit of a hospital run by the hunter and new england area health service on july 1. he was suffering from septic shock and respiratory failure.. despite receiving treatment, he developed renal failure and by july 14 was being kept alive by mechanical ventilation and kidney dialysis.. on that day a document prepared on august 19, 2008, and signed by mr a surfaced in which he indicated he would refuse dialysis.. the hospital took the matter to the nsw supreme court to ensure the man's refusal of medical treatment was legal.. today, justice robert mcdougall found mr a's directives should be followed "even if the likely consequence of giving effect to mr a's wishes ... is that he will die".. in the documents, mr a stated: "as one of jehovah's witnesses i direct my guardian to refuse consent for a transfusion of whole blood, red cells, white cells, platelets, or blood plasma to be given to me under any circumstances even if heath-care providers believe that such are necessary to preserve my life.".
