I left after '75 and I haven't touched a bible since, so I'm really not sure as to the answer to this.
When I was a kid, I seem to remember dinosaurs on the inside cover of my bible. Am I remembering correctly?
Are they still there, if not, why do you think they got rid of them?

What do these have in common?

- The thoughtfulness of the Governing Body
- Dinosaurs
THEY ARE ALL EXTINCT

But dinosaurs are based on reality.
Yes, you are right. The old green 1961 New World Translation did have that on the map on the inside cover. In the 1984 revision that most Witnesses have now there are different maps and hence no dinosaurs.
You da man, Matty
Thanx
Cheers finnrot!
My explanation for dinosaurs was always the stock one: that they were used by God to trample the earth down ready for humans. Apparently their sole responsibility was to squash all the vegetation down with their big huge feet so that Adam and Eve could walk around unhindered. Amazing isn't it?
Cheers to you too Matty,
That explanation is hilarious. It's funny they didn't even rate a mention in the bible.
I remember as a kid, I used to like to divert my attention, by looking at the neat dinosaurs on the inside of my bible.
I always thought they were put here by God to fertilize the earth in preparation for man.Can you imagine how much good just one turd would do?
