    I took a break to shower this morning and I'm fixing something to eat as I type.

    **big sigh of relief**

    Allright carry on!

    I read on the talk page of the german wikipedia it is not neccessary "because they have a trained team to coordinate original translation" - however this should work. Rumors say the german NWT is done by a single sister knowing english only.

    I can't see how someone can translate a text in a language that he doesn't know, so how on earth did they translate the Hebrew and Greek originals if they couldn't even read what they are saying?

    Please excuse me and Dams... we need to sneak away and commit some Disfellowshiping offences.
