also, another reason it's done is because dishonest conveniently-omitting-facts types like you GIVE THE FALSE IMPRESSION all the time that it's like ONLY the NWT that has rendered this Verse that way or that it's unique only to the NWT, and as (urrgh) "corruption." When that simply isn't true. You leave out (or obscure) that it's because John 14:14 "ask Me" DOES NOT HAVE SOLID MSS BACKING, that even some pro-Trinity Bibles have admitted. Parallel stuff is valid, get over it...and stop whining.

@sweetmuzix If the WT had any respect for MSS evidence the would not add the word "Jehovah" 200 plus times in the NWT. Not a single Mss ever uses the divine name. Do which is it? Are you going to argue mss evidence in one place and then ignore it in another?

[sweetmuzix]

you show (as usual) that you miss the point. The NWT did not translate John 14:14 without the word "Me" in there SIMPLY BECAUSE a number of other Bible versions left out that word too. (Facepalm) The only reason that it's brought up to types like you is TO MAKE THE POINT THAT EVEN PRO-TRINITARIAN TRANSLATIONS KNEW THAT MANUSCRIPT EVIDENCE SHOWED A LACK OF THE WORD "ME" IN THERE. Do you finally get it now? It IS legitimate to point that out, as a side point.....Again, though, it's MSS EVIDENCE !

[21crosscheck21]

@sweetmuzix Actually the earliest and best manuscripts DO contain the word "me" (Including the base mss of the nwt I might add) The only reason some English versions leave it out is that they believe it to be so obviously implied in the text that it seems redundant. Get your mss information right my friend,,,, earliest and best contain it... deal with it.

So why argue Mss evidence but ignore it for the divine name?

[sweetmuzix]

@21crosscheck21 which "best and earliest" manuscripts? Making things up again? or just WANTING it to be that way? LOL. And no, you're wrong, the other Versions that leave out "ask Me" do it NOT because they thought it was implied anyway, cuz if that's the case, why raise the fuss against the NWT for that Verse? No, they left it out cuz of WEAK MSS SUPPORT FOR IT. And like I said, the ones that do have it, IN THE FOOTNOTES say "some MSS leave out 'Me'". Meaning that it has DOUBTFUL support.

[21crosscheck21]

@sweetmuzix I suggest you do a little homework my friend. "SOME" mss do not contain it... very true. MOST do including the earliest and most complete. The question is why translate from the WH as the jws do if it's corrupted? There is no possible good explanation for that.

I am sure that crosscheck does not hate God and His people :) But since you seem to think otherwise, perhaps you should personally ask him before making that assumption and posting things that are quite possibly...well to be blunt, lies. After all, I know that as a JW you must be someone greatly concerned with finding out and proclaiming the truth :)

God bless!

JW- I thought JW were suppose to be caring and loving, all you do is spit out garbage and accusations. You are not a good representative for your god I bet he is ashamed, I know I would be.
