I agree, but they don't.

The immediate (topical) consideration is whether we want to encourage them to 
use something other than the NWT or KIT for their Biblical research or not. I 
vote that we do. This would disqualify the proposed Statement, nice as it is.

Also: Christ has sheep in many folds, and (chapter and verse not on the tip of 
my tongue) there is a passage implying that some people who have no idea of 
the more technical espects of the gospel will let God work in their hearts 
and be saved anyway; and finally consider the parable of the splinter in the 
eye.

Cheers; Leon
