I liked getting one of the new bibles, with the gold on the edges. I could waste a couple of meetings by seperating the stuck pages.
Green Bible/Black Bible...?

Outbutnotdown pointed out something interesting about the changing JW belief regarding the "Creative Days"
Under "Time Covered" for Genesis:
1961 Editions (First Printing) say, "46,025 - 1657"
1963 "Fat Boy" Editions read the same as 1961 editions
1961 Editions (Second Printing and later) say, "46,026 - 1657"
1970 Editions (All --Pocket, Standard and Large Print) say, "After 1:2, 46,026 - 1657"(The 7000 year "Creative Days" are thus limited to the preparation for and creation of life. They were here allowing that the planet itself was actually older)
1971 Editions read the same as 1970 editions
(End of Green Bible)
1981 Editions read the same as 1970 editions
1984 Editions (All) say, "In the beginning to 1657"(The 7000 year "Creative Day" here seems to be quietly abandoned)

TD,
You hit the nail right on the head. Quietly indeed. Mention that one to current JW's and watch them use all of their diversion tactics that they can to avoid having to acknowledge what they put in THEIR OWN DAMN BIBLE, for Pete's sake.
Yeah, God, by 1970, only revealed to his true followers that the universe was 48,000 years old!!
Scientists revealed that eons before. But they were just egotistical men "going ahead of God". By 1984, God had decided to show his true followers a little more. What a blessing to be a
chosen one of Godbrain-dead, mindless sheep.Brad
