Bible John 1:1
by ArtfulDodger inwhy does the dubs bible change the words from other recognised translations ?
in the normal bibles john 1:1 says "in the beginning was the word, and the word was with god, and the word was god.
" .... but the dubs version says"... and the word was a god".

The good news of the kingdom prevents suicide?
by JH inan elder once told me that many worldly people commit suicide because they don't know the good news of the kingdom.
with all the bad news in the world, he said, many just give up and don't want to keep on living.. personally, i know a few jw's who committed suicide.
it wasn't because they didn't know anything about the kingdom, but because they weren't happy being a jw.. i wonder if the jw's saved more people from suicide, with their good news, or did more people commit suicide because of them?

The idol of 'accurate knowledge'
by Noumenon injws certainly do bang on a lot about 'accurate knowledge'.
for most christians john 3:16 is the most important verse in the bible, but to jw's john 17:3 is.
jw's are so enamored with this concept of 'accurate knowledge' above all else that they have basically made an idol out of it.

the NWT
by trinity83 innumerous greek and biblical scholars have declared that the nwt is a poor and biased translation.. the late dr. walter martin observed that of the anonymous seven-member translation committee at least five had no training in greek: "these books possess a veneer of scholarship unrivaled for its daring and boldness in a field that all informed scholars know jehovah's witnesses are almost totally unprepared to venture into.
as a matter of fact, the authors have been able to uncover partially a carefully guarded watchtower secret; the names of five of the member of the new world translation committee.
not one of these five people has any training in greek...(or hebrew).. dr. julius mantey a leading greek scholar in the world stated: "i have never read any new testament so badly translated as the kingdom interlinear translation of the greek scriptures.

"I have been" or "I am" for John 8:58
by JW Ben in?revised english bible, 1989, margin.
the present indicative, accompanied by an adverbial expression denoting duration and referring to past time, is sometimes used in greek,...to describe an action which, beginning in past time, is still in progress at the time of speaking.
(?am?, in the present tense) at john 8:58, because of its being accompanied by and expression of past time, (prin abraam genesthai) ?before abraham to become?,) should be rendered, in english, in the perfect tense.
