All of these accusations can be answered more than adequately. If you choose one example of an accusation of bias, I can answer it for you. Jason BeDuhn, a Greek scholar and not one of Jehovah's Witnesses, compares several major Bible translations, including the NWT, to check for bias in his...

Just got it. Thanks. TJ

Hi BF, With respect to Revelation 1:8, you said: Let's take a look at this in the context of Revelation chapter 1. Revelation 1:4-8 (NASB) "John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are...

Hi Terrence. It is a mistake to assume that "I AM" is a name of God. This is based on the KJV rendering of Exodus 3:14. But the Greek Septuagint renders this verse as 'ego eimi ho on,' which means 'I am the being.' So if John was actually quoting this verse from Exodus, he would have surely...
