FINAL WORD ON: Did Jeopardy Endorse the NWT as the World's Most Accurate Bible Translation?

NO! JEOPARDY  Did  Not  Endorse the  “New  World  Translation” As  the  World’s  Most  Accurate  Translation. 

HOW  Can  I  Be  Absolutely  Sure?

BECAUSE  THE  CLUE, “The  Most  Accurate  Bible  Translation” Or  Anything  Related Was  NEVER  USED  On  Jeopardy!!

THE  PROOF:

HERE  IS  ONE  INSURMOUNTALBE   REASON  WHY!

Read an article in "Popular Mechanics“ (March 19, 2018 ) entitled "How to Write a Jeopardy Clue?”  In the article you will find out that "Billy Wisse has been the Head Jeopardy writer for the past 7 years. He oversees a staff of 8 writers. Another 8 researchers double-check the facts. Researchers ensure that the facts are independently verified and that spellings and other details are correct. This usually requires two or more independent sources per question.”

Both the researchers and writers strive for what is called "PINNING." In the jargon of Jeopardy, "PINNING" means: “SORTING OUT THAT THERE IS, FOR SURE, ONLY ONE POSSIBLE ANSWER.“

For example—The clue: “The most populace city in Oregon” is a valid Jeopardy Clue since the only possible answer, based on verifiable Facts, is “PORTLAND”. 2^nd Example: “The city of the MLS team ‘Timbers’” is a valid Jeopardy Clue since the only possible answer, based on verifiable Facts, is “PORTLAND.”

But what about this clue: “The most livable city in Oregon?” This Clue IS NOT a valid Jeopardy Clue since THERE IS, FOR SURE, NOT ONLY ONE POSSIBLE ANSWER. Some people love Oregon’s coasts and would pick Astoria or Brookings as most livable. Others would select Bend or Ashland and some might even name Portland (though I doubt it since it is NOT against the law to PEE and POOP in Public, SHOPLIFTING is winked at along with DRUG SALES AND USE.)

THE POINT: “The most livable city in Oregon!” is an OPINION CLUE that elicits an OPINION  ANSWER. Likewise, the clue: “The most accurate Bible translation” is an OPINION CLUE that elicits an OPINION ANSWER (an OPINION is a personal view, that represents the outlook of an individual and cannot be proven or disproven by verifiable facts). For example, there is a group of Bible Students known as “King James Only” and guess which translation they think is Most Accurate. The Episcopalian Church states there are 14 Translations they endorse. Their list DOES NOT include the “New World Translation.” And the Bible used by the Catholic Church contains 73 books whereas the “New World Translation” has only 66.

CONCLUSION: Since there is NOT FOR SURE, ONLY ONE POSSIBLE ANSWER to the clue “The Most Accurate Bible Translation” this is a clue that would NOT BE USED ON JEOPARDY.

How to Account For The  “I Saw The Episode” Testimonies?"

1. GAIN CELEBRITY STATUS. Keep in mind, someone who claims to have seen “the episode” in question, gains instant “celebrity status” within the JW community, akin to a JW who claims they are one of “The 144,000” or a JW who is a Pioneer, i.e. one who makes a commitment of seventy hours of preaching activities for a given month. This, of course, was Pre-COVID.

2. FALSE MEMORIES refers to cases in which people remember events differently from the way they actually happened or, in the most dramatic case, remember events that never happened at all. False memories can be very vivid and held with high confidence, and it can be difficult to convince someone that the memory in question is wrong. There are many examples of people having false memories of events that DID NOT HAPPEN. If you are interested in further pursuing this topic, you might start with these articles:
