Hogwash
You do know JW's don't believe in the Trinity? Moreover they think it's just hogwash created by mainstream christians.
The Watchtower Society consider most beliefs of mainstream Christians are hogwash.
Of course, all the failed predictions, the flip-flops in dogma, the change of stances re blood, etc. by the WTS aren`t hogwash, but the 'light becoming clearer'.
And the introduction to the NWT Bible waffles on about consulting all the versions including Greek, but failed to mention the editing solely by the Governing Body comprised no one with knowledge of Greek.(evidence given by Knorr? Franz? at court trial)

Re: Hogwash
Sorry, Arach, I was away, came back, and missed this one. It`s quoted by most recovering ex-JW sites but I`ll try to find it for you.
Oops, I see Anastasia is covering it well. The whistle on the Greek translation lie was blown by a member of the Governing Body, Ray Franz, a nephew of the Presidente (Crisis of Conscience). JW`s have a reasoning book which tells them how to pull dodgy stunts on potential victims. One trick is to show passages from the KJV to show that their Bible corresponds. They never let on about all the changes and omissions which were covered in a little softcover 'Which Bible'? or something like that, coming to a religious store near you.

NWT-absolutely wonderful translation
Welcome back, William. I`ll let others have a say before I start the carve-up.

Looks like William has fled the scene. Oh, well, the WTS does order slaves-oops-members not to talk to apostates, especially on the internet.

Still no William? Damn, and here I was a-waiting with changes in the NWT, the flip-flops on doctrine, the failed prophecies, the anger of misquoted scholars in both their Bible and publications, the heresy of Westcott/Hort, etc., etc., etc.--------
