You wrote: “BTW, Solomon was rebuked by watchtower for doing his work independent of their oversight.”

That was just one of the MANY inaccuracies in your post. That’s a flat, outright lie. Provide your evidence the “Solomon was rebuked by watchtower for doing his work independent of their oversight.”

The stuff you cut and pasted about Coptic from Robert Hommel’s website is also bunkum. It’s several years old, and when he wrote that stuff, Hommel knew no Coptic. Therefore, he mangled the meaning of what the Coptic scholars wrote and tried to pass off his bungled ramblings as scholarship.

If you want to know some truth about the Sahidic Coptic version as it relates to John 1:1, see:

There’s so much old, discredited, and outdated stuff being posted here about the NWT that it is actually pathetic. Like people claiming to know about the NWT Translating Committee who actually know nothing about it at all. About the objections of scholars whose objection to the NWT is not really based on scholarship, but on their theological biases.

Pasting the same old ignorance about Jehovah’s Witnesses and the New World Translation over and over just doesn’t work. You need to read some new stuff:

I know, based on their product, that they're either incompetent or deceitful.

Welcome n00b

In 2007 after lander's 'discovery' Kingdom ministries sought to clamp down on independent Bible study, since it was precisely through such independent research on which the Kingdom Ministry frowned that Witness apologists uncovered the Coptic version's support for the NWT's rendering of John 1:1. Live with it.

Been there - truth, lol bogus and twisted cartwheels.

Oh, this is such a wonderful piece of worthless drivel. The original 'translators" were rookies with no respected credentials. Shall I post the court testimony where they were forced to admit it. Later editions continued to twist the translation into pretzels. On the contrary to your bleat, their criticism was based squarely upon their lack of scholarship as well as the poor job they did of the "translation".

Pasting the same old ignorance about Jehovah’s Witnesses and the New World Translation over and over just doesn’t work. You need to read some new stuff:

Well, so far I haven't referred to you'all as 'Russelites'. What I HAVE done so far is show how JW translations and doctrine are not supported by the very scriptures they claim to follow. You "new" stuff is just the same 'ol old stuff warmed over too many times.

And have a nice Christmas anyway, even if you don't celebrate it.
