    I also would love to see this. I know the writings are extremely manipulative.

    objectivetruth - Here's a tip for getting more accurate search results.

    If you convert your search phrase to lowercase, then convert the text being searched to lowercase as you read it in, you will not get search results doubling up (e.g. 'the' and 'The', or 'Jehovah' and 'JEHOVAH' etc)

    Hi,

    I would like to resurrect this thread. Is the OP still around on JWN? I cannot PM since my PM is broken, but I really would like to see this project come to fruition.

    Thanks!

    Any way.. This project can still be developed further, but here is what we developed back then.

    You have two options :

    1. Search for all occurences of a particular word here - http://wttruth.com/quote.html

    Try searching a term like "apostate" and you will get a list of older WT articles that contain the word. Once you click on a link, you will see a Text version of the article.

    To zoom into the search term while on the article hit CTRL+F on your keyboard and type the search word again. This will highlight the exact location of your search term.

    2. See a Timeline of Key word usage here : http://wttruth.com/search.html

    Type in a term like "Governing Body" and you will see the word usage has slowly increased year over year it capped in 1985 - 1990

    Hi LAWHFol!

    That's awesome! Can I help you somehow to put in the data previous to 1950?

    Thanks!
