so i ran across this statement today in doing some research:.

take, for instance, the stories and legends regarding the origin of man.

although details vary, the belief that man was made from the dust of the earth is widespread.

1. watchtower
2. bible
i found something at the flea market today...two, not bound volumes...but individual magazines (watchtower and awake for the year 1974) each in a blue bundling folder.

the folders have "watchtower" and "awake" embossed on the front and in gold lettering on the spine with "watch tower bible & tract society" at the bottom of the spine.

who ever put these together, however, put the entire year of awake!

What is the Firmament?

1. watchtower
2. bible
in genesis the firmament is first mentioned.. god said, "let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

and god made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

and god called the firmament heaven.

J28 reference?
by Mebaqqer2 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i have seen on several websites lists of sources for readings in the new world translation which seem to have been cut-and-pasted from the wtlib cd.

i noticed, however, that some of these lists give an additional j-source (j28) not found in my english editions.

(j28 is said to be the new covenant commonly called the new testament: peshitta aramaic text with a hebrew translation.

partial translation of possible-san's page
by Mebaqqer2 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
well, everyone was wondering about what the japanese text said on the page possible-san referenced (http://godpresencewithin.web.fc2.com/pages/jw/akashijunzo.html) so i worked on translating it.

i placed it here rather than his post as his post has ready scrolled out of the new topic area and i wasn't sure if anyone would see.

anyways, here is the first part.... the words of junzo akashi.

Migne volumes on Google books
by Mebaqqer2 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
for those who might be interested in seeing the greek texts of patristic works, i just found migne volumes on google books.

these works were produced in the 1800's so for many of the works, there are no doubt better editions out there (i personally use the tlg cd).

but what do you expect for free?
