My interest in this revised NWT

by Doug Mason in

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!

My highlights from the AGM

by Apognophos in

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?".

The Smoke and Mirrors of the Annual Meeting

by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

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!

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!"
