do you know why the nwt starts verse 2 of daniel ch.
1 with the words "in time..." which are not in the original hebrew text nor in any of the english translations i checked?.
has it to do with supporting their 607 b.c.e.
jayhawk:
I can't believe you still post here after being so thoroughly pounded by AlanF in the 607 debate last year.
I beg to differ. It's obvious to anyone with half a brain that AlanF was the one who took the trouncing, and limped back to his dark little cave in humiliation.
i wish i had leolaia's brain.. i wish i had eryn's reasoning skills and sense of humor.. i wish i had purps, sparkplug and seven006's talent and creativity.. i wish i had wasanelderonce's dedication.. .
do you wish you had another poster's wit, compassion, heart, personality, tenacity, sense of humor, looks, way with the ladies, way with words or anything else that you admire?.
fess up - what do they have that you want?.
I wish I had Farkeling's sparkeling personal sensitivity.
that scoundrel outlaw did this dastardly deed:.
this is what i get for whoop`n onacruse,on the "fight thread"............i hit him so hard,his grandma got a black eye!....lol!!.
i need you to set him straight!.
OK, OUTLAW, now that Gracie has slapped you up side the head a good-un, I'll take her advice and just ignore you!
(Yeah, like that will ever happen!)
Good on ya, you big lunker.
WAC, I've turned over every bit of personal information about you to Ted J., and he told me just now on the phone that as soon as he's done with you, he'll be dealing with Nate.
on a recent thread farkel provided a transcript of a letter written by walter salter in 1937:.

in all my years i have never seen the wts respond as vigorously and openly as it did to this event...not even ray franz got this much attention.. as an opener, here is the initial response printed in the wt (this is also a transcript, but .pdf's of the original can be provided as needed):.
caba, OK then! I have one taker, and that's good enough.
It isn't so bad, once you get used to it.
And thank you for providing the link to that Golden Age article to begin with...although maybe I should be sending you a mail-bomb back. LOL
I'll work on it over the next couple of days.
A&W, yes, I talked with him tonight (see above).

Leo,
I used the OCR that AO supplied (thanks! ), but it still required a fair bit of editing. For example, it's not unusual (in my experience) that the two-column format of the originals becomes blended as a single column, requiring that each line be compared to the original and separately cut and pasted into it's proper place, as was true for this text.
But in this case the basic quality of the scan (insofar as the individual character read-out is concerned), was very clean. Most of the 20s WTs, and a good many of the 30s WTs, are just so degraded that the OCR only renders pure gobble-de-gook.
And, fwiw, I've had to read every single word of every one of the c/p's I've posted on this thread...and therefore donations to my psychotherapeutic contingency fund would be very much appreciated! LOL
If anyone thinks it's worth it, I'd be willing to go through the rest of that Golden Age (the Woodworth part), and post it up...but I don't want to belabor anyone with what might just be overkill.
BTS, he's gonna call me back tomorrow...I'll be sure to pass along your love note. LOL
Awww, he's just slacking off at some Carolina beach, trying to get a bit of a tan on his milky-white butt!
He did ask me to pass along this message to y'all: "Now, Craig, since I won't have access to a computer for a few days, you just let all those JWDers know that they darn well better not roast me while I'm gone, 'cause when I get back I'll give'm all a real New England comuppance."
That's sorta like asking a hungry dog to not eat a steak, eh? LOL
i'd like you all to tell me 2 or 3 things:.
1- were you raised a witness or not?.
2-if you were, was your family very "theocratic" or not so much?.
1. Yes
2. Yes, but not rabidly so
3. Agnostic
