  Entertainment: What's everybody reading or into right now?

  i picked up bernard cornwell's the pagan lord at the library.

  historical fiction set in england after the death of alfred the great.

  i'm loving it, especially the between-the-lines wit and sense of timing in cornwell's writing, and the complete badassery of the protagonist.

  Comparing WT Library - 2011 vs. 2012

  a couple of years ago, i participated in a thread on this site comparing the old nwt (1984) to the new nwt (2013).

  i was able to produce a nwt mash up pdf showing the side-by-side differences between the two versions of the nwt.

  herethis site claims it will hold the file for download for a long time.

  @MMM,

  I have previously harvested the WOL contents from JWOrg. They didn't shut me down :-)

  So I guess harvesting PDF will also not be a problem.

  Watchtower 2011-10: evidently they messed up with history and chronology...again.

  History changed from

  If Ahasuerus was Xerxes I, the money might have made Haman’s offer more appealing. Xerxes lost a fortune in his disastrous war against the Greeks, evidently before his marriage to Esther.

  So after a first quick look, I have to say: very well done! Thanks!

  I noted a lot of changes seem to be just spaces and punctuation (e.g. a dot changed into a comma).

  Would it be a lot of work to rerun the diff checker while excluding these (almost certainly) meaningless changes?

  It would be much easier to find the really interesting changes.

  Also, would you be willing to share the wtlib contents you harvested? A lot of interesting analysis could be done on them :-D

  PM me if your public response is no ;-)

  And yet here we all are. All left God's Holy Spirit directed Watchtower Organization.

  All us filthy apostates will be known sooner or later.

  You see, in then end Jehovah took care of those problems. He set things right if we just wait for Him. He won't allow such injustice forever.

  And so the dubs think the congregation is really governed by the 2 Big J's.

  They'll never know about many 'sins' and dissenters that manage to stay hidden. And the ones that are found out (even after 50 years) are evidence that J-man is keeping his congo clean. Ridiculous.
