Help! Ink mark on my new bible cover.

[Naruwa]

Any suggestions for removing ink pen mark on my new bible cover?  Careless me!  I tried rubbing alcohol which lightened it some, but left the cover with a dull spot. 

[Jewelz]

Try a small amount of toothpaste and gently use your finger to rub it then a damp cloth to wipe it off

Or you can spray some hairspray on a paper towel and wipe it off.

Hairspray gets pen off clothes.. Maybe try that

How very fortunate many of us are not to have a new Bible!

The same happened to me yesterday at SA day I could hardly concentrate so mad at myself I haven't even been able to mark my favorite scriptures yet . .

Just tried hair spray CAUTION : left a bit of an odd stain but ink is gone maybe I used too much !

What's worse ink or odd stain !!!!

Christopher can you go to the literature counter and just say "Brothers I don't have my new Bible yet may I please have one? " .

Is there a shortage in UK? Bibles seem to be coming in now with our Literature order !

Did the same thing. My case was sadder. I opened it with a pen. I used alcohol on a q tip. Got rid of it.

None have arrived yet at all. Only those who were at the AM have them. Congregations with a Bethelite in them have them, of course.

Sometimes, who you know comes in handy.

They say we may get them next year.

[GrumpysWife]

Christopher my offer is still good. I'll send you one.

Oh you are to have a new bible, dear brother. They're working as hard as they can to make enough for everyone.

 

I've heard that you have received some offers from other members to send you a copy. You should take them up on it if you lack the patience to wait for them to be shipped to your congregation.

 

And with the new app and the PDF available, the fact of the matter is we all have one at our fingertips.

So much for these new bibles being sister-proof, eh?

Christopher my offer is still good also. I'll send you one with your name in silver on the cover.

That's what I thought when I first saw the topic title. Then there was the sister who didn't listen to instructions and got her new bible Wet.

As carefully as I try, I take manny notes  all the time  during the meetings,

   between notes and scripture searching, some dots of ink apeared on my cover too. 

 

  I'm not only trying to remove the dots but would like a nice clear plastic cover

for the Bible.

I am developing patience, but it isn't easy. I keep remembering it isn't just me, it's most of the UK who were left out, and still are.

The best way to develop the patience you need is to stop dwelling on it and talking about it.

My bible already has a small rip in a page.  

 

I went up to Chicago to visit family and friends and my husband was giving a public talk up there.  I packed the bibles very carefully in our suitcases, but some where along the way as the suitcases get tossed around, my bible moved alot in the suitcase.  When  opened it, something in the suitcase was jabbing the side and a page ripped.  It's not too bad, but I was upset.

 

I got a bunch of new bibles from my nephew who is at Bethel, but we gave them away already.

[1gemstone]

Christopher, I sure the brothers working as fast as the can to get the Bibles to the UK.

And what about those who will be waiting for perhaps years, because it has to be translated into their language. I feel bad for all of them because this new Bible is so awesome.

Some languages got the benefit already - just didn't have new covers. This is how they decided to do current US English -- translating it into other languages didn't make sense. Thus since 2005 ....

Brother Christopher

Don't get me wrong but I don't understand why you keep saying the same thing on every topic about the new bible This may afect you negatively!

Try looking to the good things you have rather than the ones you don't have ;)

Please don't be upset, just trying to help

Read here from §§12-18, specially the 15

Yes it makes sense, if not for more for the new features and the 6 new places where God's name appears ;)

And I believe they said new languages will come

As many languages as the WT is published in - which number keeps increasing.
