New World Translation Versions/Revisions

    Hi folks. New here, and growing weary of finding an e-text version of one of the earlier releases of the New World Translation. I have searched high and low, and for some reason, it is as if it does not exist.


    I'm Catholic, but for research purposes and as a courtesy to JWs, I've put the 1984 and the 2013 versions in a database format for e-Sword (e-sword.net). They don't allow it to be posted there because of its controversial nature, but you might look up the .torrent file in a search engine. I keep it seeded. I have also bundled the ASV and the Greek and Hebrew texts for comparison.

    So please, if any of you have "the Green Book" in e-text, please let me know. I don't really want to subject myself to proof-reading a scan of it. "With oil, you have greased my head" -Psalm 23 hehe! Just don't want my head greased with that.

    Wow. Just a few days ago I read an OLD thread on this site were some posters were trying to get a project like this started.

    Trying to remember who those posters were or how to find that thread so it can be linked to here...

    Welcome to JWN! A first post - and a 'gift' - all in one. Nice.

    Welcome Pieta House

    You being Catholic will fit right in with all of the Mentally Diseased on this board.

    @FastJehu - Yes! That is the thread I was referring to.

    You saved me so much time trying to search. I still have trouble with the search function on this new site. Thank you!

    Hopefully this information correlates what the OP has offered.

    I'm not only driving fast cars on the highway (autobahn) - also surfing fast in the information highway *lol*

    @fastJehu - Hopefully not at the same time...~!! (driving & surfing, that is)

    the 84 and 2013 versions are incroperated into JW Library. It's the 1950-1960 releases that are in six volumes that prove how goofy a translation job they did.

    @ Pieta

    I had no idea you can put the nwt in that program....

    do you have to torrent link or name?

    I downloaded e-sword a few weeks ago but did not learn how to use it, yet
