Could you provide the link to the full review please.
I'd be interested in a number of topical issues not least of which being his view on the NW translation's importation and use of the name "Jehovah" over the original text, how it is used in regard to the scriptures related to Jesus and the subsequent impact on the positioning level of Christ in relation to the Jehovah Witness previously established doctrine.

Refined gold? What's the difference between 'refining' and 'adulterating'? And why would we need a more accurate English translation in the first place? Oh, wait, it's because of that whole Tower of Babel thing isn't it?

I'll take that as a no you can't provide the link. As per my post, it seems to me that the person who's name you misspelt by the way, also criticises the NWT for the inappropriate use of the name Jehovah and it's use by your religious corporation's doctrinal position on scriptures relating to Jesus and he says that the NWT use of it is tilted towards that doctrinal bias.
Obviously you don't want to discuss this any more than you want to discuss the other dubious claims, doctrines and extreme viewpoints by your religious leaders.

Thanks.
I'm curious. Do you know what word is used to denote God in the original text? Maybe this would help.
