Many thanks Fokyc, it'll be good to compare this to the style of the Study Edition.

Page 13 paragraph 4
Indeed, Jesus has been given "the name that is above every other name."
They quote their own NWT translation of Phil 2:9 and do not put brackets around the word "other" which they do in the NWT. The word other appears nowhere in the greek text and should be bracketed.

Page 29:
A husband shows respect for his wife by being sensitive to her physical and emotional limitations. Whenever possible, he will help his wife with domestic chores. Like Jesus, a husband will be willing to carry out menial tasks humbly, not shunning such work as somehow being beneath his dignity. (John 13:12-15) Instead, he will view these chores as an opportunity to show his love for his hardworking wife. She will greatly appreciate wife such help.
Or in other words: A woman is physically and emotionally more fragile than a man. As her husband you should help her. Yeah, we know, the work that a wife performs at home does not require much skill, so we know it is a bit humilitating for you to help her with the cooking and cleaning. But remember, if you do sacrifice your dignity in this manner, then your wife can work harder and earn more money.
By the way, this must be new light. In the WT 2006/9/15 p. 26 paragraph 4 it was suggested that a married woman should not work outside the home, as this could lead to adultery. -

"The word other appears nowhere in the Greek text and should be bracketed."
The word "other" does not appear in the Greek text and should not be included at all. -

working outside the home could lead to adultery? What the heck? What about the men? Some are just as guilty trying to suduce women. I'll have to read that article to see what they are talking about.

I believe that is in their writing style guide. So it isn't just an oversight, it is their official position that the brackets come out when they quote the NWT. Lucking fiars, ain't they?
