I've only posted a new topic twice before here. Mainly I've just commented on others' posts. Because of spending a few years as a lurker (until 7 months ago when I "came out" here), I feel that I have at least some pulse on this forum. I have two points.
1. I must say how struck I am at the number of posts and the heavy reaction to them regarding the revised NWT. Perhaps some of the long-term members here can answer my question: has there been any other topic in the past that has generated this kind of singular reaction? I am really struck with it... Has anything else the borg has done been so influential here in the matter of less than one week?
2. Slimboyfat asked in another thread about the increase in the number of uses of "Jehovah" in the revised NWT. For what it's worth, it does not appear that they have added any in the New Testament. I've downloaded the revision and the note on Matt. 1:20 on p. 1307 says that there is still 237 instances in the NT (or Chistian Greek Scriptures, an oddity of Freddie Franz that they have retained), the same number they had in the previous NWT NT. Thus it looks like the increase in uses of "Jehovah" must be in the OT. SBF and others must be right that they are probably based on new ancient manuscripts from the Dead Sea or elsewhere, in other words, all in the Hebrew part of the Bible.
