seeing that i have taken an interest in your continuing Bible education, that a
workman of the Lord does not need to fight, indeed we are counselled as true
christians to avoid it,
(2 Timothy 2:14-15) . . .Keep reminding them of these things, charging them before
God as witness, not to fight about words, a thing of no usefulness at all because it
overturns those listening. Do your utmost to present yourself approved to God, a
workman with nothing to be ashamed of, handling the word of the truth aright. . .
(2 Timothy 2:24) . . .But a slave of the Lord does not need to fight. . .
its ok, no need to thank me, its been a pleasure, all yours.

-Removed-i have given these scriptural references, its enough, we dont need to debate anything,
we have our beliefs, we are very happy with them, if you are really interested, go to
www.watchtower.org
if you have any specific Biblical texts that you would like to discuss, then feel free, but
as you have continually attacked our beliefs i see no point in continuing the same
pattern, again and again and again. Unless you produce a Biblical reference i am not
interested, for you continually ignore any biblical reference that we give.

-Removed-what you think about us, our beliefs , our organisation, our Bible teaching program, our
elders, our ministry, the way the organisation is financed, our motives, our
personalities, our Bible translation, our stance on medical procedures, is irrelevant, i
repeat, irrelevant to anyone but you.

As associate professor Jason David BeDuhn reminds us, who just happens to have
reviewed nine of the most common English translations in his rather wonderful book,
Truth In Translation: Accuracy and Bias in English Translations of the New
Testament. by Jason David BeDuhn,
have you not read it, then how would you know what an accurate translation is. Do
tell or will you scurry away again when pressed on this matter?
A 2003 study by Jason BeDuhn, associate professor of religious studies at Northern
Arizona University in the United States, of nine of "the Bibles most widely in use in
the English-speaking world," including the New American Bible, The King James Bible
and The New International Version, examined several New Testament passages in
which "bias is most likely to interfere with translation." For each passage, he
compared the Greek text with the renderings of each English translation, and looked
for biased attempts to change the meaning. BeDuhn reported that the New World
Translation was "not bias free", but emerged "as the most accurate of the
translations compared", and thus a "remarkably good translation", adding that
"most of the differences are due to the greater accuracy of the NW as a literal,
conservative translation".
