  A Curiosity

  by ozziepost in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  back in 1972 the wtb&ts published a new translation of the bible, "the bible in living english", otherwise known as byington's translation.. who was byington?.

  the publisher's note tells us that steven t byington was born in 1868 and studied languages at a university and a theological seminary.

  he was a member of the congregational church in massachusetts, usa and the translation was almost his lifetime's work.

  by how many people

  even more so how many people you meet here and after getting a chance to know them, learn they know some of the very same people you do?

  (for example i met a woman here on the board whom i have never met personally but she knows some people that i grew up, even the 'brother' who gave me my first kiss..

  I would be so happy if one of my family members turned up on this board. Hope their curiousity gets the better of them someday.

  did anyone else see this show last night?

  it was on the more obscure bbc4 (available in the uk on satellite or cable).. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/listings/programme.shtml?day=yesterday&filename=20031029/20031029_2200_4544_28579_40.

  the programme looked at recent media preoccupation with the end of the world (asteroid collisions, global warming, etc.).

  Have You Ever Wondered.........?

  have you ever wondered what your iq is?

  or at least what the "professionals" claim it could be?

  if you didn't have or take the opportunity to acquire a formal education, have your life experiences increased your iq?

  watchers of the watchtower world............. who is it that fishes and sniffs about on here and decides to include some posts from here into their site, and label it wt news?

  i've had some of my posts stuck on there (you can always tell, an unusually high number of views/posts are made to your posts) you can almost predict which posts will make the grade.

  who said they can post there what i might post here, or is the forum affiliated with them?

  That is actually how I found this discussion board, from the topics they would post on the news at freeminds.org. I found them fascinating, then I found the real goldmine when I came here.
