Help for Translators.2004 Yearbook
by Blueblades inpages 13,14,15. the spiritual food provided by the faithful steward class is now available in at least 390 languages.
( luke 12:42 ) translations,therefore,represents a major and constantly growing part of the work of jehovah's organization.. proper translation is not simply a matter of substituting one local - language equivalent for each word that appears in the original text.rather,it is a matter of conveying the precise thoughts.clearly,then,trans - lators need to understand the original text thoroughly before they begin to translate.at times this can be a challenge.. hence,at the direction of the governing body,a group of qualified brothers appointed to serve as instructors received training in a program called course in improved english comprehension.after completing the course,which was held at the watchtower educational center at patterson,new york,the brothers visited translation teams worldwide during the 2002 and 2003 service years.they spent about three months with each team,going through the course and giving practical,on - the - job assistance.thanks to this program,translators now feel better equipped to grasp the full sense of the english text.. said one translation team:"in his kindness,jehovah saw fit to help us be better qualified to handle our assignments.now we feel much more confident.with jehovah's blessing,we look forward to seeing good results.
"a translation overseer stated:"in the past,manyof us labored for hours over difficult english expressions and sentences.this slowed down our work.so the course in improved english comprehension has been most welcomed.it showed us how to analyze the english text in a systematic way,and it gave us useful strategies for handling difficult text.as a result,we now experience less anxiety and are able to produce a more accurate translation faster.".

JW comparison

the subject is the kind of religious institutions that exist today.
jw have been critical of the catholic church in that it is an organization with a central core, if you will, locate in rome as opposed to the jws which have claimed originally, and perhaps still do, to not be ruled by a central entity.

Legal setbacks....
by mizpah inwe should not be too disheartened by the recent legal set backs pertaining to some of the court cases that have favored the watchtower's position.
the fact is that each case generates a lot of bad publicity for the watchtower society.
even though the majority of jehovah's witnesses remain ignorant of the charges of sexual abuse in the organization, the public has become aware because of the media coverage.
