Walter Martin on Watchtower scholars
3412
Feb. 26, 1983
Walter R. Martin
One is well aware that charges have been made against the New World
Translation Committee. These charges have never been proven and cannot
be, since they are false or a matter of opinion only. The New World
Translation Committee does not know nor never has known such
uncorroborated allegations to be true!
We nay not have a vast number of Greek and Hebrew scholars in our ranks,
but we do have enough with qualifications to produce a fine translation.
As one author has written: “the Watchtower Translation committee,
comparatively speaking, had but a handful of “scholars” who hold degrees
of New Testament Greek Exegesis, or Hebrew for that matter:.
Does that seem familiar to you?
Do you know who wrote that:
YOU DID! --- Kingdom of the Cults (sic) edition of 1965, page 64; and
Jehovah of the Watchtower, edition of 1981, pages 130 and 131.

They were a group of men with no education beyond HS. None of them
had any knowledge of Greek or Hebrew as was proven when taken to
court. They simply rewrote the Bible to suit their own beliefs.
See below... they considered themselves as some kind of SAINTS no
less.

More stupidity and bigotry from the WT:
"If heaven were made the receptacle of the
heathen, savages, barbarians, the idiotic, simple, insane and
INFANTS, it
would cease to be heaven to a considerable extent, and become a
pandemonium.. billions of ignorant, imbecile and degraded .. never
formed
characters [not] fit companions for saints" {WT Aug 15 1896 p245}
