Q.: So, the (N)NWT is gray in color?
A.: Yes, isn't it wonderful? It shows how close we are to THE END.
okay, perusing the threads about the special meeting and new bible, i see that the new bible is gray.. gray?
gray?
as in - dull?

so who here wants to run an experiment?
if you still attend the meetings, are you willing to cling to the "old" new world translation?.
keep using it in front of all of the rest of the cultists.
You may be forced to lead the congregation in song.
allow me to extend a minute amount of symapthy to the forum members who waited with excitement the recent special jw meeting and attended.
perhaps it met your expectations?.
and, i almost, repeat, almost, feel sorry for those poor sods who deem it necessary to read the so called 'new' jw bible translation, and searching for all of the 'differences' from past releases.
EndofMysteries, did you notice that Cheeses has been here longer than you have?
You should address him as Sir, he's your senior.
Maybe you don't know what you're talking about, or maybe the battery on your sense of humor needs to be recharged.
FACT: Cheeses' conclusions are correct. The shameless manipulation of the r&f Dubs by their F&D SlaveMasters has been abundantly indicated by the events surrounding this AGM alone. The sheeplike acceptance of this abuse is evidence of the Stockholm Syndrome.
Dubs have donated their self-esteem to the WTB&TS.
the biases of the earlier iteration of the nwt have been known and discussed from the appearance of the first appearance in 1950, and i assume the revised edition will be affected by the same prejudicial biases.
one can cynically subscribe to the view that this is a financial bonanza and possibly a distraction from the imminent centenary of that distant significant date.. my interest will be to see how the impact of this revision evolves, particularly in the area of the wts's support material and on the impact its release will have on witnesses.
some preliminary thoughts are:.
Jehovah's Magic Spirit directed them to put a gray cover on it. Halleujah!
works of unknown authorship70 years from the end of the calendar year in which the work is made.
however, if the work is made available to the public during that time then copyright expires 70 years from the end of the calendar year in which it is first made publicly available.i wonder if this is the motive for a new bible?
.
The covers are gray. Surely this is God's Organization!
some of this will not be new to those of you who read other people's notes, but i bet there are a few new bits for you here, so i've provided a user-friendly table of contents, as an homage to the contents that appear before each book of the bible in the new nwt.
i might remember more highlights later, as i'm rather tired right now, but this is what i can recall off the top of my head.. contents (use of quote marks in this section is facetious; these are not actual quotes).
"say, did you notice that 2014 is the 100th anniversary, people?".
...and the BIBLE is now GRAY!
Woo-hoo!
the annual meeting seems to boil down to an opening talk about an "exciting new" bible museum and a closing talk about an "exciting new" new world translation.
sandwiched in between were the wt summary, a talk about indoctrinating the children fast/furious, and some "trip down memory lane.".
why would this "spiritual feast" seem to be anticlimactic?
Already "some brothers" are "running ahead" and speculating about what color the NEXT book will be.
The THRILL is palpable!
just curious... i`m wondering if anyone else is having problems with their posts... .
"after" you hit the submit button for your post:.
does it go to a 10 pt font?...
Try Cialis?
oops...
Yes, yes I am!

They were duped into buying 10,000 hectares of gray vinyl, and after prayerful consideration said, "I know what the fuck we'll do - we'll use it for BIBLE covers!"
ehh, so the best bible translation by the only true religion is replaced by the best bible translation of the only true religion?.
o my god!!!!
gorby.
Jehovah's gray-haired go-cart is on the move! Whoa Nellie!
