We observe here one of the classic results of bad hermeneutics.

Speaking of bad apologetics, check out this paragraph:

While the two-witness rule is a sensible guideline in preventing the miscarriage of justice, it is open to abuse, and thus needs to be applied within reason. For instance, a guilty person can deny an accusation from a single witness and avoid punishment. Alternatively, two people can collude to claim an innocent person is guilty and have him or her unjustly punished. The rule was clearly designed to protect people in ancient times from false accusations, but modern criminal investigative techniques such as forensics have rendered this rule all but obsolete.

Again, we Gentiles were never subject to the “two-witness rule”, but the JWs implement such deficient interpretive techniques that they cannot avoid it. Their hermeneutics have caused them to embrace a “replacement” theology and reduce Jesus to just a man. The NW Testament adds “a god” to John 1:1 so that JW men & women can aspire to their own greatness through hard work, diligence and careful morality. Not a great different than Mormonism, just sans the “space spectacles”.
