i was in the live chat today and was chatting with achristian ( tell your wife i'll dye my hair blonde, if it keeps you out of the doghouse[8>] ),logical, and a few others about the subject of worshipping jesus.

my nwt is the 1961 version and still has the word "worship" in hebrews 1:6. i decided to do a search on my cd to see if i could figure out what year it was that it was revised and the word worship taken out an replaced.

i figured i'd share with you all a "sarcastic" answer the wbts gave in the question from readers section of a watchtower.

JanH,
Good comparision on the different meanings of 'worship' to a JW!

Now can you please explain the 'logic' behind these two JW views??

"After release of the 'New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures' in 1950, the Old Testament was produced a portion at a time over the next ten years." p. 105

Vol 1 (1953) - Genesis through Ruth
Vol 2 (1955} - I Samuel through Esther
Vol 3 (1957) - Job through The Song of Solomon
Vol 4 (1958) - Isaiah through Lamentations
Vol 5 (1960) - Ezekiel through Malachi

"The New Testament and Old Testament installments released beginning in 1950 were revised and combined into this one volume [in 1961]." [The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures] p. 115

David A. Reed - "Jehovah's Witness Literature" - C/R 1993 Baker Book House pp. 105, 108, 110, 115

So to answer your question about "NW" - I would guess that it refers to the separate volumes published prior to 1961.

Hebrews 1:6
The word "worship" was used in editions: 1953, 1960, 1961, and 1970.

"Beginning with the 1971 revision [of the NWT], all future editions were changed to read: 'And let all God's angels do obeisance to him'."

David A Reed - in "Jehovah's Witneses Answered verse by verse" P. 100,

Hope that answers your question!

this post is primarily for those folk on this board, who post copious quantities of jw info on this board.. .

i can understand your wanting to help present jws and those looking for info on the organisation, but this is not the place for posting reams and reams of info.

most of us here know already this stuff.

Tina,

I disagree. It was not the Christians who have been flooding the h2o board the last three weeks with "new thread" personal attacks. Go read Lisa75's thread "The sick and depraved Shiney" for only one example. Almost every post that "Lisa75" makes is a personal attack. BTW, just take a guess at the real identity of Lisa75.

Let's just say we agree to disagree here, Tina.

Prisca,

You have made an interesting observation.

H2O has a very strict FPP for posting and personal attacks are not allowed. But some "oldies" had been ignoring that part of the FPP and got into the habit of "attacking" the person rather than the ideas presented in a post. When the moderators started to get "tough" and delete some postings for FPP violations, the "oldies" screamed - "We want 'freedom of speech' here. Then certain "oldies" from Norway went wild posting FPP violations. The end result has been that since this board lacked moderators to clean up the mess that got posted - 'freedom of speech' ruled here, or so everyone thought.

Time will tell what things will be like here soon.
