Any examples of eliminated verses that conflicted with JW doctrine?

discussion of translational choices in NWT

The article contained a statement to the effect that the NWT was produced without explanation of its' renderings. This is incorrect. Reading the appendices in the NWT you will find the reasons the translators gave for their renderings.

Also, the incorrect statement that no other translation has been produced anaymously is a mistake, so I removed it as well.

Thank you. I concur with the change and your reasoning behind it. I own a (revised?) black-cover NWT (circa 1985 or 1990?) and have perused many copies of the original edition (green cover, circa 1978?). From memory (because I don't have it here ;) there are definitely some explanations behind the translation methodology, though many might disagree with the reasoning or find it insufficient. I thought that sentence was a bit odd in the article, but didn't think much about it at the time. Furthermore, I don't think any of that belongs in the ASV article, but the NWT article. It's sufficient for this article to just say that the Witnesses' use of the ASV was supplanted by the NWT.

BTW, your helpful edit suggests you'd make a useful regular Wikipedian. Please feel encouraged to create a user ID, log in, and continue helping. Jdavidb 20:17, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)
