  is anyone aware if this project is already being done by someone?

  if not, perhaps we can brainstorm how to go about this, now that the pdf for the revised nwt is out.

  a couple initial impressions:.

  Thanks MeanMrMustard for this awesome database.

  Reading through the first bible verses I stopped with Genesis 1:20. I missed the word "souls" in the NWT 2013.

  Asking the database gave the following answer:

  NWT 1984: 780 times the word *soul*

  NWT 2013: 59 times the word *soul*

  Trying to overcome my homophobia.

  i had a music album by a gay guy before i was a jw and had no problem listening to it.

  it's good music.

  some of the lyrics are what you might call 'gay', that is there's some talk about boyfriends, gay bars, and queens and the intolerance the artist encountered as a gay man.

  @ Julia Orwell

  Don't worry any more.

  A close look at jw.org about the question:

  "Do You Ban Certain Movies, Books, or Songs?"

  will show you this:

  "Our organization doesn’t review specific movies, books, or songs so as to rule on what our members should avoid."

  *** it-2 p. 156 King ***
  KING
  A sovereign who has authority to rule over others. Jehovah is the supreme King, possessing unlimited power and authority. The kings of Judah were subordinate kings who represented His sovereignty on earth. Like them, Jesus Christ is a subordinate King, but with far greater power than those earthly kings, because Jehovah has put him in the position of ruling the universe.
