HowTheBibleWasCreated
Because there are 3 texts types for the New Testament and the NWT uses Wescott and Hort the same as the NIV, NLT, ESV, NASB etc
The KJV,NKJV, GLT all use the Textus Receptus which has more verses

I mean, the number on the verses.

Give me an example? If you mean John 7:53-8:11 or Mark 16:8 onwards it is for the reason I already stated.

I just went to the website. They have chapters, but the chapters are no longer divided into verses. Very strange. So if you read Matthew 24, you cannot determine where verse 14 begins, becaus verses are no longer listed.

CHECK THIS OUT!!!! Most of the bible as has been said only has chapters. But I went through the book of Matt. No verses, EXCEPT when you hit chap 24!
So they obviously want people to be able to quickly find their stupid matt 24:45 scripture they apply to themselves.
So is it coincidence, technical difficulties, or are they going to have all scripture verses not revelant to their twisting of the bible as blank and only have the labeled scriptures for their doctrine? If that's the case then they'll probably only be 5 chapters out of the entire bible that have verses listed.

Checked this out myself earlier and the verse nos. were not appearing, found it strange too. Let's just assume it's more of a technical glitch in the system. If it stays the same after 1 week, then there is something wrong.

HI,
I noticed it yesterday. I thought I had to re-boot my computer. I was doing my WT for Sunday went to JW.org. saw chapters but no verses. Guess it's some type of glitch....Wonder if anyone has called HDQ, to let them know. OR...maybe they are going to re-arrange the verses...too bad we can't print the entire bible as it is now & then compare when they DO fix the glitch....Maybe they'll say when one clicks on JW.org...SITE UNDERCONSTRUCTION...
