Too bad that people here prefer to be blinded by their biases and prejudices, but that’s your right. As Jesus said, “Let them be. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into the pit.” (Matthew 15:14)

Trinitarians trumpet their own scholars as if these are somehow more objective and scholarly than others, when the fact is that their presuppositions are Trinitarian, and such scholars consistently bend their scholarship toward the support of their Trinitarian beliefs. Such scholars have a perfect right to their opinions, but don’t call them objective and neutral. They are not.

People who make statements about the translators of the NWT are speaking from ignorance and 4th-handed “information.” And the NWT has been revised since that Committee did its work. Among Jehovah’s Witnesses there are competent, degreed scholars who know Hebrew and Greek well. Rolf Furuli and Edgar Foster, both Ph.D.’s, come to mind.

The KMs about independent research had absolutely nothing to do with Coptic research. And in November, 2008, The Watchtower published an article itself about the Coptic version, which embraced that so-called “independent research.”

The fact is that many blogs do contain better and more accurate information than the mish-mash that is often found on Wikipedia. Each blog I listed has important information for anyone really interested in knowing both sides of a story, so as to arrive at an objective knowledge of the truth.

Funny how you leave off the "being correct" part, as is susbtatiated by 2000 years of straight forward scholarship by thousands of scholars, not some odd few "scholars" who like throwing around prepositions and what not trying to "recreate" what they want God to say.

Which in itself makes your overall statement somewhat ironic...

Degrees mean little, there are many degreed atheist out there.

Referencing your own blog to make a point means even less Solomon.
