  Peak publishers is even more fictitious than stated above.

  The "Peak publishers" grand total is the sum of the each land's peak publisher count—which might be a different month in different lands .That is why the growth percentage is given of the average publisher count.

  In Romanian, they are Andrei (Andrew) and Iulia (Julia).

  In Hungarian, it's Marci (from Marcell) and Zsófi (cognate of Sophia).

  Faithful and Prudent slave? read somewhere that the discreet was going to change to Prudent.

  read on one of the forums, and maybe this one that the gb are going to start calling themselves the faithful and prudent slave.

  my pimi brainwashed wife wouldn't bat an eyelash if they started calling themselves this.

  to her it would be new light and they could do nothing wrong.. but, how the not so brainwashed flock take this change?

  The Spanish revised New World Translation renders the expression in Matt. 24:45 as "esclavo fiel y prudente".

  after reading a few comments here, i thought it was time for me to get a copy of "the silver sword" for my own occasional research and occult practices.

  so i thought i would see if jw.org would offer a way that i could purchase a printed copy (not digital) of the new world translation.

  as i browsed, it occurred to me that i might also like to have a copy of the... what was it?

  The revised New World Translation and even some languages where their translation of the 1984 NWT (bi12) is being bound with similar gray deluxe covers are printed in-house at Wallkill, New York, and Ebina, Japan. Christian Greek Scriptures are printed as softcover books at any of the organization's printing branches.

  When did WT recently change the Insight on the Scriptures -- that 31 year old Bible encyclopedia?

  i would like to pinpoint when watchtower made a dramatic backward editorial change in their 31 year old insight on the scriptures, their flagship bible encyclopedia.

  below, number 1 quotes the insight book as it appeared in the original release back in june 1988.. 1.

  “this is also illustrated by what happened to the cities of sodom and gomorrah and their inhabitants.

  The "Insight" volumes were revised twice. First of all, the electronic version was updated in 2015, then last year, the printed version was also updated, and the PDF's of the recomposed books are available on jw.org.

  gb recent presents new book "based ezekiel" - pure worship restored.this book also provide into jw-borg site and jw-lib too, but only english.as examle, spanish - it`s second largest language into us and america continents, but has no translated into it.do you have any idea why this could happen?

  they hide something, or just did not have time to translate (but previously published in all major languages at the same time).

  There isn't any official explanation about the fact that it's English only, but translating the Pure Worship book into other languages is not a zero-priority, because evidently it will be studied after the Jesus--The Way book, which is due to 2021 (I don't remember the exact date, but I saw it in a letter somewhere).

  Spanish and German editions of the Silver Sword are planned for a 2019 release, so obviously the Pure Worship book we be released after that in those languages.
