I don't have the study article in front of me so I don't know is he is reading from article - but wow they r really hitting kids and parents - should be pushing towards baptism from "infancy". Are they talking about gadgets, do they know wordly songs but not kingdom songs - if so parents are not doing their job.

New bible display created at headquarters. displays pages from many bible manuscripts. Joked about rarity of NWT lately. They are in possession of a single page of Tyndall's bible which includes the name "Jehovah". They also have a page from a Reno Valero bible from 1602 with Jehovah's name.

Upon reviewing bethel library, they have a bible from 1549. The first to be in every church.

They used many bibles in this display.

Many bethelites donated rare bibles to the display. And even purchased rare bibles for the display.

They found a copy of the Nuremberg polyglot online. Talk of the translator using the Tetragrammaton in the greek scriptures.

Bethelites negotiated for bible. Turns out he was a brother. Gave it as a permanent lone.

They wanted a German language bible that also uses the divine name I the Greek scriptures. Someone told them it was impossible to find. They found one on the internet "for an unbeliably low price". A bethelites purchased it and donated it.

They wanted a good reproduction of the Isaiah scroll from the Dead Sea scrolls. Tuns out they had one.

The final bible to obtain was the Geneva bible of 1603. A brother donated it.

The display officially opened on Thursday October 3rd 2013.

So, yes, they're all for display.

And then they'll roll out the new NTW version, appearing to be a product of the most meticulous and painstaking research and translation work, ever.

It's all for show...

Just my gut feeling.
