Now you know how to get your bible - commended that you have this love.

We are enjoying a banquet from Jehovah. We are domestics that have been just received the main course of this banquet,

Deut 6:4-6 - use to say "vital force" now says "strength".

If we love Jehovah have to love new Bible. We will be drawn to it. Brothers must revisit popular scriptures and make adjustments using new Bible.

Hours and hours involved in getting Bible and new app out. Over 1800 locations getting new bible this weekend.

Don't you appreciate hard work done by loving brothers to get this to us.

Thanks to brothers and sisters prayers, and material support.

Attendance - 14555 in Brooklyn area -grand total for today - not all reporting yet - 247.895 - expect 1 and half million to participate this weekend and are getting bibles.

Asking all to exit out of back exit to prevent over-crowding.

Thank Jehovah for historic meeting you have been part of today.

Closing song and prayer

GB talking about examples of wrong translations. Original committee added to translation - 1 Cor 7:39 - in death is in brackets as it was added. Brackets not needed as in original greek not in death - american bible says when "falls asleep" can remarry. Bums would say its in the bible so I can leave when he's asleep. HA Ha

Translations must be clear and readily understood by the average people - god is not impressed with intelligenc....?

Page 17, and 18 - most people do not speak original greek and hebrew - jehovah wants us to understand bible in our language.

Sorry guys, I couldn't get the exat wording of last part b ut it was all about whether to use original word for word literal tranlation or what was "meant" by words.

Another GB brother - joke about marriage and losing hair. Using delightful words - Ecc. 12:9, 10 - bible writers were very careful when recording thoughts of Jehovah. Original committee took responsibility very seriously - resulting in a beautifulm masterful edition that we all love. Clergy howled with rage when it was released - were are ur scholars etc., many people embraced King James - must have come right from god - but was there one annointed in King James version - all were annointed for NWT. Tempest over NWT gone out to sea.

Original is fine for research - but for field service, reference, meetings using new bible.

Person of interest - backcall - today murder suspect.

Lev. 5:1 - in case a soul sins in that he has heard public cursing, or is a witness, or has seen or heard it, must report it. What does "it" mean? Usually curse is swear word. - Not what bible is talking about. A witness needed for event - would go to public square and evoke a curse if they didn't come forward. New NWT says it in an updated manner.

Many English words have several meanings - eg. pattern- dictionary many choices - many 2 Tim 1:13 - keep holding "pattern" of wholesome words. Many brothers when giving talks chose wrong meaning. New bible uses def "model for imitation" not an artistic pattern, so it uses "standard".

Let us go on walking orderly in same routine - most of phrase to go in a line or row, to go by battle order, - most brothers thought it meant to have a good schedule - makes joke - back to point - wrong def - not a call to have a routine for everything but instead its a call for "unity". Let us be humble, brothers didn't get ideas out of thin air, in fact publications have errors. NWT will help prevent this.

alien - foreigner

ass - donkey

impale - does not mean to nail or to tie someone to a stake - it means to ram into the abdomen. Referring to before Jesus execution - Greek cried out one brief word that uses stake so haave to come up with rendering that reflects proper usage. Using tied to stake now.

dumb - speechless

loving-kindness - loyal love

Abundant comments

NWT - clearer picture of what bible is implying.

eg. Jacobs ladder - nNWT says distictive coat.

Jehovah -causes to beome - meaning - too simplistic - now saying "I will become what I choose to become" - but appex A 1735 says more is needed. Meaning is not limited to what Ex says - does not fully define name, but reveals a facet of his personality. It also includes what he causes his creation to become. eg donkey could be a messenger.

Meaning of gods word much clearer - John 17:3 - you know what it used say - this means everlasting life, taking in knowledge - what's really involved - new bible says - there oming to KNOW you and son JC.

Our prayer is that your reading and studying will draw you closer to Jehovah and will he ever be your God, your Father and your friend. applause.
