Funny, though, none of these translations makes any serious doctrinal difference. Of course, for something like that you could look at the Jehovah Witnesses' New World "translation." There they have deliberately altered the Greek text or mistranslated it to conform to certain distinctive Russellite doctrines.

Hey, here's a novel concept. Since they're seminaries and supposed to be teaching, maybe the source documents in Greek and Hebrew.
