  G'day all,

  Leather Bible Covers

  We manufacture covers for many Bible editions other than the ones listed. Many Bibles are now out-of-print and our leather covers are the perfect solution for keeping them going as long as possible. If the Bible edition you use is not listed, let us know! If you let us know the dimensions, we will be able to manufacture it. The zipper zips shut to keep your pages nicely clean and protected. The world's best and most widely used translation. Good grief! Truth in advertising? I must be missing something somewhere!!! Cheers, Ozzie

  Ozzie,

  Best, that's a matter of opinion and your opinion is not shared by the vast majority of people and all but one or two bible scholars disagree. MOST WIDELY USED? No dearheart, that would be the King James Version. Sure is a good thing there's no Truth in Advertizing Laws where you come from. What makes you think the NWT is the most widely used? I'd love to see your statistical analysis.

  I'm wondering how they get a supply of the NWT and offer them free of charge??

  Is this an inside job, I wonder?

  Euphemism

  Notice that the offer link is to a "third-party site". The site in question is the WTS site. The WTS will send you a Bible if you request it, but will of course also send the dubs to your door.

  Well, there we have it! So many of us have been trying to find an unimpeachable authority to confirm the inestimable value of the NWT, and here the proof comes right to our own doorstep.

  Thank God for google-ads.

  LOL

  The WTS will send you a Bible if you request it, but will of course also send the dubs to your door.

  So, it does seem an inside job, or as the borg would put it, "another avenue of service".

  Cheers, Ozzie

  The world's best and most widely used translation.

  They forgot to add: "...the most widely used translation by Jehovah's Witnesses. In a double blind study, 9 out of 10 Witnesses preferred the NWT to the KJ Bible! The one that didn't prefer it was disfellowshipped!"

  Actually, that appears to be a dead link. Either that, or the site is down now, because I got an error message.

  Now that I think of it, doesn't the WTS tell the dubs never to refer to the literature as being "free," since it costs something to produce? They're supposed to leave it "on a donation basis" rather than having a fixed price.
