I hate it when they put the word "some" in front of anumber they want to sound big. I know its grammatically acceptable, but they do it EVERY freaking time!
some 240 lands
some 6 million publishers
some 12 old bastards in NYC
IT PISSES ME OFF!!
LOL at richie,
Another function of "some":
some have suggested...
some have fallen prey to apostates...
some have developed nagging doubts...
some have failed to appreciate the spiritual food provided through the faithful and discreete slave...

Dang, they're doing the Daniel book again? Nice to see nothing has changed in mind-control heaven. I really think they keep the meetings so boring and repetitive in order to keep the mental functioning of the attendees at a very low level - that way they won't start thinking hard enough to ask too many questions.

When I wrote to the Society about the 607 issue, I included the fact that Jeremiah 29:10 is rendered in most bibles as "70 years for Babylon" rather than "at Babylon", with a footnote with a nice long list of translations that conflict with theirs.
Their reply kindly acknowledged that some translations had that rendering.
you win some you lose some
some of the brothers came to the conclustion that the Big A was to happen some time in 1975.......

Actually the Daniel book is just a few notches less wacky than the Revelation book. Having them go through this again could be a good thing. Obviously they're not gearing up to start sweeping all the whacked chronology under the rug.
