   Friend james tries out some jw vatican theories:   
      
   >With so many translations out there, and many of them having   
   >differences, can you tell the 'good stuff' from the 'bad stuff'?   
      
   Hmm, the nwt "translation" doesn't escape either, no?   
   >   
   >Unless you have the first century miraculous knowledge, it isn't easy   
   >to tell.   
      
   And if you have *NO* scholars of greek/hebrew like the jw vatican   
   "translation" tiny group totally lacked, one can have *NO* trust in their   
   ""translation", no?   
   Satan can be very tricky and deceptive. Some may say the HS   
   >guides them. That is great if that is true. But many of us have to   
   >research and deeply reason what we find. Are we perfect in what we   
   >find? Not always. We just do an honest approach to what we are doing.   
      
   The jw vatican devotee is told on pain of being tossed out to do   
   no independent research/study.  If there is somehing the devotee should   
   know, the jw vatican will tell them and their version alone is to be   
   as it has often done; the new theriory must at all cost be accepted, *NO*   
   questioning allowed.

   Here follows bits from various translations; didn't friend james just tell   
   us to suspec them?  He is translation shopping to find wording that comes   
   closest to jw vatican theories.  Why not the nwt "true and only   
   translation", which is always subject to jw vatican changes?
