  Time Indefinite

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  from a very young age, i was always annoyed by this translation time indefinite simply means: time that has not been defined.

  where the new world translation uses "time indefinite", other translations use "everlasting" and "eternal".

  honestly, it makes much more sense to me "everlasting" and "eternal" as "time indefinite" would leave room for god to define that time later on.

  I looked up the Hebrew word. It means "to the horizon" or as far as the eye can see. Hence, "time indefinite." There must be a better way to say that.

  I've read it. Curry's work is very dated. But worldcat.org lists a number of libraries owning curry's dissertation, and you may be able to get it through Interlibrary loan.. these are:

  The transcript has Mrs. Russell saying she did not believe her husband was adulterous. She did not accuse him of adultery with Rose Ball. Miss Ball made her jealous, but apparently there was no adultery. A Watch Tower article from 1909 if I remember correctly has Russell calling her something of a trouble maker. I'm uncertain which issue.

  Divorce records are handled by the Department of Court Records Civil/Family Division. While no on-line indexes or records are available, records may be obtained on site or by correspondence. Older records may be in storage and have to be ordered.

  I've read the transcript. My mom had a copy. It's not what most say, but interesting. Order it from Allegheny County Records as noted above. I do not know what mom paid, but I'm guessing many dollars because of the huge number of pages. You do not want the simple findings record but the transcript. It comes in two parts. The first trial is represented in a paperback book called the Defendant's Paper Book. The second part, much longer, is the appeal record and it is typescript double spaced. About five scattered pages are missing from the original record. But context suggests that nothing earth shaking was on them.
