Despite what you may think about the JW NWT, the fact is that most of their members know the Bible as a whole. They read it, and the KJV, repeatedly, from childhood on up. By the time they reach the age where they begin developing conceptual thought process, JW children have a basic knowledge of the context of the Bible and can answer questions such as what is the first prophecy of the Bible?
Tonight I dropped off students at a theology school where they receive an education for a "career" as ministers and preachers. Of the five, none could quickly name the first prophecy. Secondly, when asked what day for they observe the Memorial on, they all said a day in May, rather than the Memorial of the Last Supper.
So, how can JWs teach the Bible, even the KJV, far better than any other religions, and even many Bible schools and colleges? If all the other religions are correct, and have the Blessings of the Holy Spirit, shouldn't every member have a complete knowledge of the Bible?
