i nth the Unity School of Christianity was covered. their people are “brain-washed” into earning their salvation by peddling literature on the streets and rendering complete obedience to the top “brass” who wield absolute power. Headquarters are locat ed in Brooklyn, New York, where the Watchtower press grinds out thousands of pamphlets, tracts and magazines. The country is divided into zones which are covered by callers in homes, the results of which are carefully recorded. THE JEHOVAH ’S W ITNESSES AND THE BIBLE Russell, Rutherford and all their leaders, what ever the branch of the sect, ignore every accepted principle of Scriptural interpretation. They deal in allegory, claiming that the Bible was written in symbolic language, needing interpretation, and that naturally they are the ones qualified to interpret it. Russell claimed that the light had been con cealed from man for 6,000 years — until he came along—and Rutherford blatantly declared: “With out doubt the time has come when the Bible is to be understood. . . . These great and deep truths, long kept a secret from man, are now due to be understood” ( Creation . pp. 122-23). The cult has its own private “translation” of the Bible although there never has been a real scholar among them. Published in 1950, it is entitled, New World Trans lation of the Christian Greek Scriptures. It is based largely upon the notoriously inaccurate inter linear 1806 translation of Griesbach’s Greek text of the New Testament by Benjamin Wilson, called the Diaglott. In both of these volumes liberties and license have been taken with the Greek and the English, and fearful distortions of the truth have resulted in their wicked effort to discredit the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. A careful study of the original text and some Greek grammar will refute their claims in short order.
