JEFFERY JACKSON - from governing body - 63 year NWT released and 50 years study edition released. We love our NWT - proud of fact that Jehovah used group nof annointed to provide this bible.

Deciscion of GB in 2005 - NWT in 52 languages - need to be in far more languages - usually in larger editions - eg 15,000 - 20,000 printing. Translators trained so it was feasible to have it translated in smaller languages.

Those who get NWT in their language 121 now ib place with 45 more translations in the works. Jokingly said should be all who get WT should also get NWT. It is a possibility. 14,637 questions pending about translations.

eg. Matt 6:11 - Give us this day our bread for this day - what questions could be asked - asians use rice not bread - bread is expensive - could think taught to pray for "luxury" items. Can we use "rice" - no - bread was used. Use generic word - food instead of bread with footnote attached.

We all love King James Bible - I brought my old one, but don't tell Br Sanderson - he will want to put it in the display.

We have NWT - 1950 first and rest over years.

trip down memory lane - highlites

Brother Heard - many older brothers discussing NWT's past.

"Very special occasion - Yankee Stadium 1950 - knorr released NWT Greek Scriptures - appreciation grew"

"1950 - lad of 16 - what do you recall - I was there with pareents at Yankee Stadium - excited - first volume - 5 more of hebrew scripts."

"Sister was there at YS - delighted at release - wonderful reference but very cumbersome - 6 volumes"

Br Rush "Sitting way up at YS - thunderous applause - stadium came alive - translations by anointed remnant - faithul and discreet gave us this.

1961 - Single - 1963 combination of six volumes.

Sister Kim has green covered bible - them released the deluxe black and maroon bible with gold. I explained this was a student edition with lots of research tools.

Brother Woodchuck - NWT committee - I was impressed by humility and not wanting to be identified.

Brother Rush - experience in summer of 1950 - knorr would ask after noon meal if any questions - br Knorr - yes hugo? Any reason we need to use old english in our prayers - knorr said it would be taken up and it was discontined.

"brothers had done all research - we needn't worry about researching things ourselves"

201,347,000 NWT Bibles have been printed

In the past brother had to use "Christendom's" bibles - had to always question if this was in the original writings. Over 12 years complete NWT released. Feb 12, 1952 - Gen 2:12 - first use of God's name - hand written notes and edits used in final releases - no computers - faithful to original - all through Jehovah's spirit. Translators wished to remain anoymous - no taking away from Jehovah's word.
