The
Purpose of this Site
 
Since
the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures was
published between 1950 and 1961 by Jehovah's Witnesses, it
has been the object of much unwarranted criticism. The
aim of this site is to discuss some of the criticisms of the
New World Translation and to offer a defence.
I compiled some of these articles as replies to letters from
an online correspondent, who, unfortunately, refused to read
them. Since then, I have researched a number of other
articles in answer to common questions about the New World
Translation.
Two articles on this site are not about the New World
Translation. One of them discusses whether
Jehovah's Witnesses are guilty of false prophecy, as many
opposers allege. Another defends Jehovah's Witnesses
belief that the Archangel Michael is Jesus Christ. The
main focus of this site, however, is the translation of the
Bible.
I hope to add at least one new article per month to this
site, so please come back. In the meantime, there are
some other excellent sites by Jehovah's Witnesses defending
the New World Translation. See the 'Links' page
for details.
NEW ARTICLES
October 11th, 2005:
Does the New World Translation
Add Words to Colossians 1:17, 18?
I have also made some alterations
to a few of the articles, particularly those concerning
Franz & Hebrew and
Hommel & the NWT.
July 11th, 2005: "Fullness of the Divine
Quality" at Colossians 2:9.
June 10th, 2005: The
Kingdom Interlinear Translation and the Deception of
MacGregor Ministries. It is amazing the lies that
some people will tell to support their beliefs. You
can read a refutation of some of them in this essay.
I would really appreciate it
if any scholarly-minded Witnesses have any observations on
this site and on the quality of the arguments used.
Please feel free to write to me if you have any corrections
or suggestions for improvement.
