    Only sporadically. If you would devote the time to read several of its books for yourself you would discover that what I'm saying is accurate.

    Of course I have made a number of threads concerning the issue of its poor and dated English. I have compared it with the NLT, Modern Language Bible, NASB and other versions including the NIV.

    See for yourself.

    I have read thru it, and it seems to read pretty much as a modern updated KJV to me!

    I have had visits. I point them to John 8 where Jesus says "Before Abraham was, I Am." Then I point them to Exodus 3 where God tells Moses, "Tell the that I Am has sent you."

    I then ask them if the I Am is one and the same. They try to avoid the issue and walk away. They have not been coached to argue this point, but are not ready to admit the Watchtower Society is wrong.

    If God is going to save them, He will. Like Muslims, Mormons and other religions, God often breaks their arguments down over time.

    It's not thin skin....it is a low tolerance threshold. I don't suffer certain people well but I'm not a Pastor. Add to that advanced age and chronic MS and .... well there it is. As a Christian, I can only sympathize and pray for the mans health and the other mans understanding.
