OK, I did something crazy... I downloaded a PDF edition of the JW New World Translation of the Bible. Actually calling it a "translation," well, ummm, sort of just doesn't quite cut the mustard, but there we are.
A n y w a y (that's like drawing out the word, anyway), I am thinking of creating an NWT thingy (I love that) as an e-Sword resource, and would like to put it up here as a tool which could be used against the Jehovah witnesses.
Now, just before you think that I have totally lost my mind, and need to be put in a straitjacket, then thrown into a padded cell and the key tossed away; apparently I'm not the only one of this mind/thinking. Interestingly, John Ankerberg, in a blog, is sort of the same mind.
I am well aware of the policy of Bible Support regarding JW resources. But I also think that when it comes to JW stuff that most, if not all, regard the NWT thingy as close to crap as possible (putting it mildly). That said, to be able to use their material as tool as a part of one's apologetics in the refutation of their arguments, and then to show that Jesus is as He really is (as God) has to be a real prize. This sort of reminds me (to use an analogy) of a soldier taking a bayoneted rifle off his enemy, and then using it against him. A real prize.
This post is not a theological discussion, and therefore not where one can have his/her theological rant on this topic. You want to do that is fine, and there is a section here called Theological Discussions, where one can do that, so use that place. Again, that said, your thoughts/feedback is valuable as to whether or not I should do this project.
Blessings,
