152: Development of Trinity Doctrine from the Old to the New Testament
They base this on a very bad interpretation of Proverbs 4:18. They use this "new light" excuse every time they find out they made another false prediction of the end of the world, or to explain why the watchtower Magazine once endorsed JW's actually celebrating Christmas! Now here is their hypocrisy: Jehovah's Witnesses believe that God, even in the 21st century, is revealing new doctrines, or clarifying old doctrines, that were not understood properly. Yet they say trinity cannot be true because the New Testament revealed "new light" on the Old Testament! Yet every week, JW's all over the world, wait for the Watchtower ... Of course the New World Translation (sectarian paraphrase used only by JW's) adds YHWH into the English New Testament where never found in the underlying Greek. The Watchtower has actually added to the word of God and will be punished according to the curses of Revelation for doing such! Meanwhile, thousands of Jehovah's Witnesses are also deceived.

153: C. H. Dodd: New Testament Translation Problems Part II, John ...
Dodd would also see "a God" an acceptable "word-for-word translation" in John 1:6, where it refers to the father. Dodd rejects "a God" in John 1:1 because that would make it teach polytheism. Letter from United Bible Society, May 2001 The UBS publishes "The Bible Translator" magazine that Dodd wrote in. The issue in question here, that is, the translation of this key Biblical text, is obviously a very important one. It is, as a matter of fact, a text where we and Jehovah's Witnesses disagree fundamentally. They argue that because "theos" does not have an article, it should be translated in English with an indefinite article. We argue that there is no indisputable grammatical proof of how it should be translated. A Greek noun standing in initial position as "theos" does in this clause may or may not be preceded by a definite article. We would argue here that "theos" should be taken as a proper noun and accordingly would not normally take an article in this position. But as I say, the ... ...

157: The Watchtower's falsifying of their own War time history
It is impossible to trust the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, and this fact is proved in AWAKE! August 22 1995, no. 16.

176: Trinity proof texts: John 5:18
Bible say that Jesus did not break the sabbath. Anti-Trinitarian rebuttals: Anti-Trinitarian rebuttal #1 "Another scripture offered as support for the Trinity is John 5:18. It says that the Jews (as at John 10:31-36) wanted to kill Jesus because "he was also calling God his own Father, making himself equal to God." But who said that Jesus was making himself equal to God? Not Jesus. He defended himself against this false charge." (Jehovah's Witnesses, Watchtower, "Should You Believe in the Trinity?") Anti-Trinitarian rebuttal #1 refuted Jehovah's Witnesses know they are in deep trouble with this verse and resort to tricks. They imply that Jesus did not teach he was equal with God, but the Jews said this as a false charge because they misunderstood what Jesus was actually saying. ... God's LAW of respect for HUMAN LIFE came in direct conflict with the SABBATH LAW and the sabbath law gave away to the higher law of MERCY.

177: Ellen G. White found guilty of plagiarism (copying)

To write or say that "Ellen White's indebtedness to other authors has long been acknowledged by Seventh-day Adventists" is only an extension of the white lie. Although it is technically true that, as far back as the 1880s, the church has been righting a rear guard action concerning the use of others' material in the name of God and Ellen, the declarations have always been made with defensiveness and quick justification. William S. Peterson's article in a Spectrum issue of 1971, for example, was to bring down upon him a ...
