5 New World Translation Robert M. McCoy said: 'In not a few instances the New World Translation contains passages which must be considered as "theological translations"... John 8:58... On grammatical grounds alone, cannot be justified. It cannot be called a historical present, since the words are not narrative... The translation of the New Testament is evidence of the presence in the movement of scholars qualified to deal intelligently with the many problems of Biblical translation' (Andover Newton Quarterly, 3,1963, pp.29-31).

6 New World Translation Samuel Haas , said of the New World Translation, 'While this work indicates a great deal of effort and thought as well as considerable scholarship, it is to be regretted that religious bias was allowed to colour many passages. (Journal of Biblical Literature, December 1955, p.283)

7 New World Translation Professor Bruce M. Metzger: 'On the whole one gains a tolerably good impression of the scholarly equipment of the translators (their names are not divulged)... Some of the translations are simply indefensible... The introduction of the word "Jehovah" into the New Testament... John l:l... is not justified despite a lengthy note... the translators have not hesitated to insert four times the word "other" (totally without warrant from the Greek)... in Col[ossians] 1:16f' (The Bible Translator, Vol.15, 1964, pp ).

8 JW Main Beliefs JEHOVAH alone is God
JESUS is the first created being of Jehovah THE HOLY SPIRIT is only an active force, likened simply to electricity Father, Son and Holy Spirit, THE TRINITY is a pagan doctrine invented in the fourth century 1914 has always been a key date but has had different meanings

9 On the Doorstep Jesus is not God but the first of God's creation – Col.1:15; Rev.3:14 The word 'Trinity' isn't even in the Bible Jesus is an archangel – 1 Thess.4:16 Jesus died on a stake not a cross. The cross is a pagan symbol. Jesus came to make God's name known (Jn.17:6) and taught his disciples to 'hallow' or honour God's name. (Mt.6:9) Therefore we are to use the name of God and JWs are right.

10 JW Main Beliefs There are only 144,000 with Jesus in heaven
There is nothing eternal in a man, we just go back to dust but remain a memory in the mind of God Only ACTIVE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, doing God's will by serving the organisation will survive through Armageddon HELL does not exist and the only alternative is annihilation

11 LDS Plan of Salvation

12 gods I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea, and take away the veil, so that you may see. These ideas are incomprehensible to some, but they are simple. It is the first principle of the gospel to know for a certainty the character of God, and to know that we may converse with Him as one man converses with another, and that He was once a man like us; yea, that God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ Himself did; and I will show it from the Bible.’ (Joseph Smith)
