Welcome to my horrificly boring life!
Day 5

Qoutes from Friday I forgot to put up:

"How many of us would write a book about everything we did wrong and have it published all over the entire earth?" - Bro. Saia on the Bible writers being inspired to write what God wanted

" The "A" in greek means without.   A-theist= without God. A-gnostic= without knowledge."  - Bro. Saia

"You say, "You know, the human mind is like a computer." and they argue with you. then you feel tempted to say, "you know there's some people that still haven't got one?" - Bro. Saia

The 1st printing of the Bible was in 1984. There were 31,500,000 copies printed.

1988 - 53,500,000

1997 - 81,465,000

2000 - 104,200,000

2004 - 120,110,000

2005 - 165,000,000. Complete in 30 languages, partial in 19 languages.

There have been 5 revisions to the New World Translation. 1961, 1970, 1971, 1981, 1984

"The New World Translation is now 99.9% accurate" - Bro. Saia

"Everyone pooh-poohed them...and they had to eat crow" - Bro. Hendrix on the translation of the Bible.

"Read on McDuff" - Bro. Hendrix

"I hate it when he's right" - Bro. Hendrix

"Remember when the bears came out and cleaned house? Bonnie says, oh they were just kids! I say, Kill em!" - Brother Hendrix

"Dead dead dead, They're dead" - Bro. Hendrix

"Let them know we're not killing you" - Bro. Hendrix on going to the meeting Sunday

 

Here's another point I thought was interesting:

How many bible versions would you say that Jehovah's Witnesses have the sole rights to? Meaning that no one else can print these versions without their permission? One would automatically say The New World Translation. But there are also FOUR other versions! Most of these rights have only been aquired recently, and very few people outside of the headquarters realize it. None of us had heard of it, until brother Hendrix mentioned it. They are listed below:

Diagulott(or however that's spelled)

Wilson's Greek Interleaner Version

Bington's Living English Version

American Standard Version (this is the one that really suprised me, as it's so common!)
