Sloppy typo in the Watchtower.
by Nemesis ini was just wondering if this typo is in the us version also?
its in the 1 may 2002 watchtower p.31 on the far right block of text on the seventh line down:.
and members of the great crowd are not in the inner courtyard of jehovahs great spiritual temple, which courtyard represents the condition of prefect, righteous human sonship ot the members of jehovahs holy priesthood while they are on earth.. i know its just a small typo, but i have never seen a mistake like this before [to my memory] in the watch towers literaturehas anyone else?.

Query - Luke 17v21/Acts 1v18
by musicnonstop inhoping someone can enlighten me here.... the above couple of fragments of scripture popped into my head the other day... in the nwt, the first refers to jesus' words re the kingdom of god being "in your midst" (which other translations render as "within you"); the second, referring to judas' suicide, says he "noisily burst in his midst" .
i don't have a greek interlinear these days, so what i'm wanting to know is: is the same original greek term used in both cases?
in luke, the wt's rendering carries the sense of 'among'; if you go with the 'within' rendering, then it would be feasible (to me) that the same word would be used in both places, as what happened to judas could be said to have happened from 'within' him.. i'm curious because if it is the same word both times, then the 'within' rendering would make more sense, and would confirm jesus' words on the nature of the kingdom of god, which might be handy to bring up with my jw mother at some point.

Buggin Out !
by mmetz ini would like to say to all who care, i am leaving this thread for good.
the bible talks about the unbeliever and those are the true apostates.
even though there are many here who truly love the lord as i do and have shared and taught an awful lot of helpful information to help me fight the battle against false religion, i thank you and pray for each of you.
