   Friend james tries a familiar dodge to excuse the jw vatican's "fixing" of   
   scripture after the fact; to bring it into harmony with preconcieved   
   jw vatican doctrines: :   
   >>>   
   >>>I am aware of the false translation of John 1:1 ...   
      
   >>Smile, whehn measured against 99 percent of greek scholars who say the jw   
   >>vatican John 1:1 "fix" of scripture is "full of it".   
      
   Trying a diversion from the reality of greek scholarship; friend james   
   tries:   
   >   
   >At one time, the 99% of scientists accepted Piltdown man as the   
   >missing link of evolution. Thus there is not always safety in numbers.   
   >   
   Hmm, is that on the order of the jw vatican's long history of many many   
   flip flops on doctrine, som multiple flip flopping back and forth on the   
   same doctrine?   
      
   In any case, the view of the greek scholars is not prone to such a flip   
   flop, that is not how grammer analysis works.  Likewise the understanding   
   of the grammer in question has a 2000 year history of understanding of   
   ancient greek when such grammer appears generaly in all literature.  It is   
   not an "one off" case of it.   
      
   >>The jw vatican desperately prading the 1 percent who might agree is a dim   
   >>light indeed, no?  The jw vatican having *no* scholars of greek makes   
   >>them an ever growing dimmer light, no?   
      
   Friend james tries the 1 percent of scholars tactic right before our eyes:   
      
   >Just because you keep saying that, doesn't make it true. I have Bible   
   >scholars who say that the NWT is a SCHOLARLY work. Looks like you are   
   >wrong again.   
      
   Hmm, and the jw vatican's pronouncements based on the 1 percent makes their   
   case?   
      
   If you were to repeat it by examples of the 1 percent, it remains a   
   dishonest/deceptive/misleading jw vatican selfserving  practice.
