In his review of the New World Translation that forms part of the Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures, Associate Professor Thomas N. Winter wrote: “The translation by the anonymous committee is thoroughly up-to-date and consistently accurate.”—The Classical Journal, April-May 1974, page 376.
Professor Benjamin Kedar, a Hebrew scholar in Israel, said in 1989: “In my linguistic research in connection with the Hebrew Bible and translations, I often refer to the English edition of what is known as the New World Translation. In so doing, I find my feeling repeatedly confirmed that this work reflects an honest endeavor to achieve an understanding of the text that is as accurate as possible.”
Based on his analysis of nine major English translations, Jason David BeDuhn, associate professor of religious studies, wrote: “The NW [New World Translation] emerges as the most accurate of the translations compared.” Although the general public and many Bible scholars assume that the differences in the New World Translation are the result of religious bias on the part of its translators, BeDuhn stated: “Most of the differences are due to the greater accuracy of the NW as a literal, conservative translation of the original expressions of the New Testament writers.”—Truth in Translation, pages 163, 165.

The other thing is the NWT. When compared to the Textus Receptus, it is wrong on many levels. Don't know who the "scholars" are you are saying the NWT is the most accurate bible, but it isn't.

The FACT is the Protestant reformation was founded on the Textus Receptus, which is where the KJV of the bible comes from. It doesn't matter what language it's published in, it reads the same. Huss used the TR, so did Luther and the rest of the reformation.

It's not wonder so many people have no interest in the stuff. First, they don't want to do the work. The second issue is we all have to read from the same book. We don't need any other translations. You can only dumb down the Scriptures so much before you dumb down the reader. BTW, the KJV of the bible is considered one the BEST works of English literature there is.

And last, we need way less college educated, seminary indoctrinated fools in the pulpits. Most people I know won't question a seminary fool on anything. Read for yourself.

One last thing. I have maybe, MAYBE and 9th grade education. I can understand the KJV of the bible. I don't need a college educated, seminary indoctrinated knave to read plain English to me.

The most simple way to weed out the posers is read the prophecies and then compare them to what your denomination reached. There is no seven years of tribulation, no rapture none of that crapola. If they can't get that right, what else do they get wrong?
