   Friend james says; translate workig backward using the word that best fits   
   the jw vatican's most recent theory of scripture.  For 50 years it was one   
   thing; then it was something different overnight:   
   >   
   >Impaled, crucified, take your pick.   
      
   Ah, the question evokes an attempted dodge.  Either friend james doesn't   
   know the full history of the sorry mes; devotees are kept ignorant on many   
   things; or he wants it hidden from readers.  Following in friend james   
   footsteps, take your pick.
