The Witnesses had rejected the Trinity doctrine well before the 1950's, while they were still using the KJV, so use of the NWT is really not that significant to the discussion.

Twisting, LOL, I'm not the one who has to violate basic rules of Greek to obtain the translations the NWT does. No, the NWT was written to provide bogus support to their arianism.

As far as a previous post on John 1:1 you said that it is translated as "God" in other instances; and implied that according to my "rules" it should be translated as "a God" everywhere else.

No, that is the application of the JW translation 'rule' they pulled out of thin air. Same grammatical constructs should yield the same translation - very simple and consistent. Go back FOE and see that the constructs are THE SAME therefore the translations should be the same.

You have not responded to the scriptures cited about God being superior to Christ, and my questions about the Holy Spirit.

I already have about the apparent 'subordination' of Jesus and the Father. I showed while there was a subordination, those area were also due to the agreement of Jesus as well. I have also showed where Jesus is fully equal to the Father.

Now reagarding the Holy Spirit - you never really even asked a question and since you complained of being sooooo short of time and your failure to address my posts, I figured it could wait for another day. So go ahead and be a little more specific in your question.

I am trying to have a decent discussion, and you are giving misleading replies, hurling insults and now inferring that I am a hypocrite, when you know little about me personally, and nothing about my work situation.

I have never talked about your work 'situation' except that you like others will have today off - whether or not you celebrate Christmas. If that hurts your feelings, sorry, but if you want to hang here you'll need a little tougher skin.

You should provide substance, not empty watchtower rhetoric.

That's not where they pulled it from.
