It's just a "but he farted too" kind of argument.
Most of your posts come across as pretentious farts to be honest.
thereās no rule that says if someone else translated it a certain way, that automatically makes it legitimate.
Not just someone else, but all modern Catholic versions translate it similarly to the NWT. (Plenty of non-Catholic versions too, of course) Are you claiming that all modern Catholic versions somehow agree with the NWT in offering a translation of Zechariah 12:10 that is not legitimate?
You talk as if all the scholars that translate similar to the NWT are somehow ignorant of the reasons you give for your rendering, but their comments and explanations demonstrate that they are fully aware of the type of arguments you make, they just disagree with them. They find the contextual considerations, variants, LXX reading, Johnās quotation, plausible emendation compelling reasons for the renderings they give.

The fact that Catholic versions agree with the NWT on the translation of Zechariah 12:10 is entirely relevant to your false claim that the NWT has purposely not translated the verse correctly.
To any reasonable person the fact that Catholic versions agree with the NWT on the translation Zechariah 12:10 is compelling evidence that it is a legitimate translation.
According to you the LXX translators, the author of the gospel of John, and modern Catholic versions that render the verse similar to the NWT are all wrong and you alone are right.

You claimed Alter translated the phrase as āthe oneā. He simply doesnāt. Itās wrong. And when I pointed out your mistake, you changed the subject.
You claimed that the NWT didnāt translate the phrase as āto meā because of bias. But there are tons of versions that do the same as the NWT, many of them listed in carefulās post above.
Youāre a Catholic are you not? Practically every modern Catholic version I can find agrees with the NWT on this point: The New American Bible, The Jerusalem Bible, The New Jerusalem Bible, The Revised New Jerusalem Bible, The Christian Community Bible, The New Christian Community Bible, The Revised Standard Version, The New Revised Standard Version. All versions that are approved by the Catholic Church and they all agree with the NWT on this verse. In fact are there any recent Catholic versions that donāt agree with the NWT?
So what on earth are you talking about?

so Alter levels it to āthe one.ā
No he doesnāt. Thatās not how he translates it. Once again youāre relying on AI to provide a sophisticated looking answer, with all the flowery language, but as usual the actual details are simply wrong.

Where is Tony?
by Athanasius inon february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.
in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

Canāt somebody out there go and befriend him and find out his story? I donāt know what happened but I feel sorry for him, especially if heās estranged from his wife and family too. He always wore his heart on his sleeve and his flaws seemed relatable. His hardliner attitude appeared to be an expression of inner demons rather than malice as it seems with some others.
