Much applause - good toyour enthusiasm.

Not only text revised but printing issues resolved - covers curling, binding fall apart, creased covers, gold rubbed off.

Printing staff tested different covers to come up with "witness and sister proof" covers.

Testing has assured that Bible can be used for some time

No copyrights on fonts - Japanese brothers came up with new fonts - completely new bible.

Where are our Bibles - sister wrote -"we have had bibles on order for 3 months - where r the bibles?"

When will we get new bible? we don't care new covers etc - just new bibles.

In new year - large print and pocket edition.

Don' have to wait for regular edition - here it is - the revised NWT.

1 Sam 14:11 - "exposed themselves they naked? - no stood up

Other language translators must update proper maning.

Writing styles have changed today with computers, texts etc. Also changed in NWT.

Mic 2:6 - Do not u people let words drop. They will not let words drop. - What does it mean to let words drop?

Translators have been told to "stop preaching these things" instead of drop.

Five years ago a NWT committee advised to revise NWT - revision completed - soon u will get your copy.
