    Is there a free online source for "Aid to Bible Understanding," 1969 (I doubt it but
    you never know)?

    It was on reexamine.org, but it was a 600 MB file and took a while to download.

    I have a copy of it somewhere on my computer, but as far as I know it is not online.

    Thanks for checking. Is there a CD with "Aid...." on it?

    Also, does anyone have the full quotes for these?:

    - "What is the view of Jehovah's Witnesses toward interracial marriage?" "A
    Christian, being realistic, must face life as it is--not as he wishes it might
    be." ("The Watchtower," Dec.1, 1973, pp.755,776) (Probably against racism yet
    instructing followers to go with the status quo socially.)

    - "Insight on the Scriptures": the listing for "Idols, meats offered to."
    (The interpretation given is that the meats or things have an idolatrous conno-
    tation when near the idol temple but not farther away from it. In other JWs
    leaders' literature, this is given as the reasoning used to allow blood frac-
    tions: they're far enough away from whole blood that they're acceptable.)

    Thanks, Atlantis! I still haven't found "Aid to Bible Understanding" on the
    Internet. Let me know if you'd recommend anything for the 1970's. I don't have
    much for that period, for some reason, and what I have is usually just something
    about 1914 and predictions.

    This has been discussed before:

    A CD with pdf is available for purchase.

    A fellow poster seems to have a serious problem with this subject:

    A PM I have received:

    Hi Fokyc,

    I want to correct you on this, if I may. The Aid book was scanned and burned to CDROM several years ago by a team of apostates who never intended to sell the CD for any price - it was meant to be distributed for free to anyone who wanted one by anyone who had one. All they would have to do is duplicate their own copy of the CDROM and give it away.

    Noble intnetions are frequently thwarted by profiteering scumbag pirates who take the hard work of others and try to profit by it.

    Anyone selling copies of the AID book CDROM is a scumbag profiteering pirate of the lowest order.

    Please do not encourage anyone to seek out or do business with prfiteering scumbag pirates.

    Best wishes,

    - NN

    I was just answering a question, I have no wish to encourage or discourage others actions.

    Anyway the Insight volumes have displaced the Aid book.
