    "Make sure of all things" had "concious" instead of "conscious" in bold type.

    Nemesis,

    It's (the mistake) is not in the Australia edition.

    Hi all,

    Even stretching back to the era before PCs, word processing and spell-check, the WT proofreaders have always done an impressive job, as typos are extremely rare; the irony is, of course, is that the latter have proven far more competent than their writers!

    Jehovah must have retired to the toilet again. Don't worry, dubbies, he'll soon come again.

    What would be cool is that if one of the Bethel printers was going to leave the org. then decided to alter some text in the Watchtower after all permission had been given by the GB for final printing and shipping. Leave a few untouched so that they went back as the ‘standards’ that would be approved, and alter the rest—maybe change Jehovah for Satan in a few discreet but important places: “We must be faithful to—and follow wholeheartedly—Satan’s organisation...”

    I really don’t know how they got this typo in the first place, as all the text is the same, and in American English and grammar, so why would they be messing bout with it anyway? The only explanation is that we got the first batch of printing plates/data before it was spotted, and the rest of you [USA, Australia] got them after?
