NWT Revised 1984 1Tim 6:3-4 If any man teaches other doctrine and does not assent to healthful words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, nor to the teaching that accords with godly devotion, 4 he is puffed up [with pride], not understanding anything, but being mentally diseased over questionings and debates about words. From these things spring envy, strife, abusive speeches, wicked suspicions,

NWT revised 2013 1 Tim 6:3-4 If any man teaches another doctrine and does not agree with the wholesome instruction, which is from our Lord Jesus Christ, nor with the teaching that is in harmony with godly devotion, 4 he is puffed up with pride and does not understand anything. He is obsessed* with arguments and debates about words. These things give rise to envy, strife, slander, wicked suspicions,

So now that they've done THAT, next they need to undo the ever-present wording of "mentally diseased" in the July 15, 2011 Watchtower.....hmmmm.

No doubt that will happen soon as future WT Library cd roms come out.

Like many other dark points and controversial issues in WT history, it will be sanitized then eventually expunged from the record.

WT representitives are already officially denying they've ever used the term "mentally diseased":

Heyyyyyy ! The punk returns!

Good to see you sir. And well spotted. If this is glossed over in bound volumes and wt lib then its just one more bit of evidence of duplicitousness...

Talking of quiet changes too the text.... The Online version of the next Midweek study book "Draw Close To Jehovah" has been revised and changed. A warning has been published that it differs.

Should be fun on Thursdays when Bro with a tablet and Sis with a book argue about what the answer is ???

I'm surious Blues what part has been changed? pages?

Oubliette

Well they haven't changed it yet!

I just d/l the July 15, 2011 WT:

Well, apostates are “mentally diseased,” and they seek to infect others with their disloyal teachings. - w2011 7/15, p. 16, para. 6

Interesting that the new wording about being 'obsessed' follows the KJV.

Now wouldn't you think that the NWT (being the translation to end all translations), would have got it right first time? Especially given that Jehovah(R) inspired it........punk laughs up his atheistic sleeve

That's hilarious. Gopd catch.

Promoting their choice of words, "mentally diseased," has not gone well for them me thinks. One poster here quoted the verbiage in court during a custody battle and won.
