These scholars, and informed critics of the Watchtower, speculate that few of the members who served on the committee were experienced as translators or even knew the rudiments of Hebrew or Greek; the NWT appears to be little more than a modification of already-existing English versions. Also, with the exception of some personal testimony stories, readers of both magazines will fail to find the names of people who authored the various articles contained in them.

The byline for the first, for instance, is this: Because, "for quite some time, in the more conservative Catholic spheres, there has been concern over the fact that Marian worship seems to have been obscured. Catholics do not "worship" Mary, but they do honor and venerate her. Such misrepresentation is not an uncommon occurrence in the pages of WTS publications.

The writer says there were other motives—for instance, it was hoped that increased pilgrimages to Marian shrines would result in increased priestly vocations. Not all Catholics were pleased that a Marian year had been proclaimed. So far, these complaints sound as though they could come from any "Bible Christian" or even any secularist.

But the Witnesses have twists of their own.

Some of them stem directly from doctrines taught by the Catholic Church. For example, since the Church teaches that Jesus is equal to God, this leaves no independent intermediary between man and God. They believe that Jesus is not divine, is not the Second Person of the Trinity—in fact, that there is no Second Person, because there is no Trinity in their view.

If Jesus is not divine, what is he? A creature, though the best of creatures. He was the first thing created by God and had a prehuman existence, and it was through him, as an agent, that God created everything else.
