My mum proudly showed me the latest development, a cheap horrible paperback bible, she said how great it was to be able to turn the pages so easily!! How do the dubs do it? Get people excited over making things cheaper and nastier.
I just commented on the money saving aspect and also how little time it would take to get wrecked. I find it hard not to be mean about it!
Has anyone else seen them?

What color is it? I sure hope they went back to that wierd green.
I have several paperback Bibles from Holman Bible publishers of Nashville, TN.
They were FREE and are titled, "Everyone Can Receive THE GIFT" - New Testament
The first sentence in the forward reads, "Coming to Christ is the ultimate new beginning."
I don't think the Watchtower Society's paperback Bible directs people to Christ. As a matter of fact, if it directs them anywhere it is to:
WATCHTOWER 11/15/81 page 21 paragraph 18
‘Stay Awake and Keep Your Senses’
And while now the witness yet includes the invitation to come to Jehovah’s organization for salvation, the time no doubt will come when the message takes on a harder tone, like a “great war cry.”

I was amazed that their MAIN textbook, allegedly, only comes in paperback. No deluxe version anymore. I mean my goodness, its the Bible for crying out loud.
For goodness sake!
How right you are PoppyR.
As I've mentioned before, I am one of the owners of the local Christian Bookshop. And a paperback bible is nothing new.
Mind you it is amazing how God is turning his flagship organisation into a bunch of cheapskates.
Whatever happened to "nothing but the best for the Lord"?
Have they sold those ornate chandaliers yet?
The WTS knows how to put a spin on anything they direct to their members, it is obviously their mother organisation and they are inclined to believe everything the WTS tells them.
Is nothing sacred?

This is not true. The paperback Bible is for placing with interested ones at the door. Publishers can still get the deluxe (huge one with footnotes), regular-sized soft-cover and regular-sized hard cover Bibles.
It seems that when it comes to cutting costs, anything goes with the wts. Cheapskates.
