Whether anyone was paid to do the work is a red herring, roigam. Was the NWT translation commissioned, translated and published by the JW organization? In so far as it differs from other translations, are these differences in any way related to points of difference between JW doctrine and mainstream Christian doctrine and the Bibles used by those Christians?
Nothing personal as it was the best they could do in the middle ages.
Does that mean we should ignore what we have learnd about God's Word and purposes?
(Galatians 4:16) So, then, have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth?

Originally posted by FMFYes, just as all other translation were commisioned, etc.

No, it's in the Bible.
Many others believe pagan teachings that are not in the Bible.

-Removed-Only one. The one provided by our Creator Jehovah God.
(Acts 4:11, 12) This is ‘the stone that was treated by you builders as of no account that has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved.”
Originally posted by roigamIf someone put it to you that the New World Bible translation committee, which worked on the translation, had, as its members, no known translators with recognized degrees in Greek or Hebrew exegesis or translation and that none of them had graduated from university, would you say that was a true observation?
Our NWT is dedicated to Jehovah God, Our Creator, and nobody was paid for the
translation.
