The new app was the only other release. Available monday on windows 8, android, and apple platforms.
They demo'd the app. The cool feature is that if you're on a verse and click the number of the verse, 5 other translations will appear. One of them is supposed to be the King James...but Im suspicious if its truly unaltered in any way.
They are waaaay too comfortable modifing the Bible these days.

John 17:3 CHANGED!!!! They made a big deal outta that! I forgot to mention that!!! (no change to John 1:1)
17:3 now reads:
"This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ."
They said "'Taking in knowledge', what does that mean? Lots of people we study the Bible with 'take in knowledge', for years even, but never come into The Truth"

First of all, big "thank you's" to everyone who put up the goods after attending! It really calmed my nerves to read what was about to go down rather than go in blind.
WHY IM DISGUSTED
The new bible (no, it doesnt have a new name, for all who are asking) is a huge F**KING MONSTROSITY! (not literally, same size).
The "Simplifyed language" is a poorly veiled attempt on their part to leave even less room for interpretations other than theirs. They took every word that could potentially have multiple meanings and changed it to mean only one thing (see appendex A2.
They DRASTICALLY reduced the index. Want to see where in the scriptures where a certain word appears? If its not on their list of "words commonly used in preaching" you're out of luck because that's all the index consists of.
The middle column for cross reference now barely exists!
The mini Reasoning Book in the front some have mentioned is, well, look for yourselves on Monday. I just don't have words to describe it.
This new edition narrows further the ability for the average JW to do intensive research and potentially raise questions in their own head. If the R&F think to much for themselves it could be dangerous.
The texture and quality of the cover is quite nice however.
I've got one (and just figured out photobucket) if anyone wants to see something in particular.

Donations aren't coming in from Western Countries: more confirmation
by Julia Orwell inin talking to sparky the elder today (http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/263862/1/an-elder-called-me-hes-waking-up-and-knew-id-understand-nice-for-him-to-have-a-friend) i found out he did the accounts for our congregation for years.
he said very rarely did the congregation meet its expenses without some well-off brother chipping in a few grand here and there.
the elders would also make up the shortfall.

"the organization's longevity is a testament to Jehovah's blessing. Just another example within a long list of circumstances that God miraculously provided for His people."
Lololololol! The Truth (TM) is really whatever you want it to be.
Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination
We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy
Explanation
