  I have the 1908 bible. It is the same as the Berean manual. It is much easier to buy one of the reprints of the manual. There is no point to re-scaning the King James over and over. The 1902 Holman Linear is very rare. I do not have it.

  Has the Bible been redacted so that YAHWEH can be promoted to EL's position as Almighty God?

  for background, read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/yahweh, the section, "iron age i: el, yahweh, and the origins of israel.

  " "el and his sons made up the assembly of the gods, each member of which had a human nation under his care, and a textual variant of deuteronomy 32:8–9 describes the sons of el, including yahweh, each receiving his own people.

  "el, the kind, the compassionate,' 'the creator of creatures,' was the chief of the canaanite gods, and he, not yahweh, was the original 'god of israel'—the word 'israel' is based on the name el rather than yahweh.

  I never let my students use wikipedia as a resource. It is often wrong. What makes you think it is right in this case?

  The 1942 printing of the King James bible is the same as that published by World Press in the 1930s. There are no additional notes or introduction. Probably a waste of time to scan.

  The Watch Tower edition of the ASV has no additional matter except the Watch Tower imprint on the second printing. There is no special introduction or notes.

  The various editions of the NWT you ask for are still under copyright. You open yourself up to a law suit if you copy them without permission.

  The 1926 printing [Memorial Edition] of the Diaglott does not differ in any respect from earlier or later editions except in page size.

  Other than the Watch Tower name on the title page, the Rotherham NT is as originally published. You don't gain anything but more work by scanning them.

  Smiddy, none of them really know anything. They sent us copies of things post 1909, earlier history is a mystery to them. But thanks for your suggestion.

  Sparrow, Thanks for your comments. Our histories focus on the Russell years, essentially a different religion than what you see today. So we don't worry about contemporary issues. Eventually, I will, without my writing partner, consider the post Rutherford years.

  We have no agenda beyond giving a detailed, accurate account.

  While I am empathetic toward those shunned, I am certain that I do not fully understand the consequences in the same way someone who's experienced it does. I was an Abrahamic Faith adherent for some years but differed from them on the nature of Jesus. They're Socinians; I am not. So we parted company religiously, but I did not lose their friendship.

  A friend of our research posted here (old goat). He's 90, I think, and a retired history professor. He occasionally pointed to things here.

  The American part of my family has a long connection to the Watchtower. I was raised a Catholic. My mother was Austrian. She converted to the Witnesses. One of my sisters did as well. I did not. But I became interested in their history. Witnesses are uncomfortable with disaffected members. I read what everyone says.
