   See friend james at his deceptive answering best below:   
      
   >>Friend james got all in a frensy defending the jw vatican "impailement on   
   >>tourture stake" from the jw vatican's nwt "transslation".  That was over   
   >>the understanding of upright "pole" in the greek NT as the greek word to   
   >>mean a roman cross as 2nd century christian greek authors described the   
   >>upright structure as a "pole" with crossbr.   
   >>   
   >>So, can friend james apply the same wooden logic to the hebrew "red sea"   
   >>for us when applied to Moses "crossing"?  Hours of searching the nw vatican

   Frend james tries his best, alas it doesn't float as is mpost often the   
   case:   
   >   
   >No one knowledgeable in Hebrew or Greek?   
   >   
   >I have already given him MANY praises by Bible scholars on the NWT.   
      
   That claim has *NOTHING* to do with the "red sea" question on the table.   
   Oh how common has such deceptive tactics long been observed?   
      
   Friend james, I have provided insider info multiple times from a jw leader   
   of the time; that none of the 5 doing the translation had knowledge of 1st   
   century greek or hebrew.   
      
   It was not a "translation" but plagiarized translations of others with jw   
   vatican "word/phrase fixes" here and there to justify backwards current   
   invented doctrines.  If you don't have greek/hebrew; real "translation" is   
   impossible.   
      
   Now back to the question above; go for it friend james.
