  The use of citations in the watchtower (1950-2004)

  by bohm in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a while back i promised to print some numbers on the watchtowers use of bible quotations -- but being a lazy bastard (and having a thesis to write) i have promised and put it on hold a number of times (having a virus infect the computer with the database in did not help either).. anyway, these numbers try to address "selective quoting" of the bible in the watchtower.

  the dataset is composed of all watchtowers from the cd printed between 1950 and 2004, but just now i realized there is a (slight) problem in that when citing books with only one chapter, usually only the verse number is shown (eg.

  jude 3 rather than jude 1:3) which kind of messed with the script -- oops -- anyway i do not expect this to skew the results very much since the majority of verses in the bible are found in books with more than one chapter.
