Full time service for 24 years? How old is he? Maybe he sold his soul and doesn't age.

I believe that in the scan in the previous post, the Bibles listed as 'Controlled Stock Items' were not printed by the WT, but were distributed by them through the literature counter. I still have a couple of the mentioned versions which I remember purchasing at the KH. The Tanakh Bible, for instance, was published by the Jewish Publication Society of America (Old Testament only, of course). On the other hand, there were other non-WT bibles which the WT society also printed on their own presses. They had a KJV, and ASV, which were published by other publishers as well. The Byington, though was published solely by the WT, and no one else has ever had the rights to it, to my knowledge. There were some bootleg PDFs floating around the internet at one time, perhaps those were the subject of the lawsuit mentioned in the OP.

There is another chess world championship match going on now, this time Carlsen is defending against Sergey Karjakin. You can watch for free at:
https://worldchess.com/nyc2016/
but the commentary, etc is not free.
I like Karjakin. He's kind of geeky, seems to have less confidence, talks with a bit of a stutter, at least in English. Definitely the underdog. He's leading the match right now.

It is curious that the Byington translation is included in the tablet form of the 2013 JW bible and is quoted occasionally as a result.

I heard recently that the Indianopolis Assembly Hall was sold <finally>. I believe the buyer was a megachurch. The London assembly hall is being used as it always has, if it is for sale or not I don't know.

666 or 616? Do we have to choose a number or could it be both?
by fulltimestudent ini'm sure that most longer term readers on this list know that the use of the number in the revelation was a 'code' using the jewish concept that assigned number values to the letters of the hebrew alphabet.. a promoter of modern judaism ( dr. eliyahu lizorkin-eyzeneberg) explains:.
today gematria is well-known as a jewish interpretive method that assigns numerical values of hebrew letters to words, phrases and/or sentences.
then, by adding them together, seeks to determine their deeper meaning.

I always thought the WT explanation has an inherent anachonism also. They always included the explanation that it was the number 6 repeated three times. But it wasn't, it was the number six hundred sixty-six. The way to 'do math' back then was with Roman numerals, which is not the number 6 repeated three times. The invention of representing larger numerals placing 10's in the second digit from the right, 100's in the third digit from the right, etc., as well as the concept of zero, came into use later. I think that was an Arabic invention.
