Dear Andrew,

It's hard for me to respond to sweeping generalizations about bias in the
NWT, and about who thinks what translation is "Christian" or not. 

Are there specific instances where you feel that the NWT inaccurately
translates the Hebrew due to theological bias? Discussing these instances
would probably be more productive than attacking or defending a particular
translation in general, and certainly more relevant to B-Hebrew.
