Our new Imitate Jesus book got an update already!

[shali]

I got a notification that my JW LIB app was updated and when I opened it up to check for anything new I saw that the new Imitate Jesus book that we just got at our RC this year had an update ready for download already!  I can't imagine what they would have to update already - does anyone know what information was changed/added/or updated?  Just curious.

The original version was May 2015 printing (5/13/15), the new version is July 2015 printing (7/22/15). I'll take a look whether anything else has changed, and tell you.

Actually, Stavro posted the changes in a different thread, they were all pretty minor. Thanks for checking into for me, I would of deleted this topic after I found out but wasn't able to.

Two changes:

Page II: Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc. moved from Brooklyn to Wallkill.

Page 30: corrected a grammar mistake "Prophet whom Moses said would come" > "Prophet who Moses said would come"

Sis in one night I went through the new book and the old book together a compare it too, Here is what I see:

 

 1. Most  pictures are different and some might look the same, but they are not. The settings and different and the color of clothes are different too.

 

 2. Information is different and updated.

 

 3. Many chapters have different names.

 

 4 The reason why there are more chapters in the new book is because the shifting of chpt 112 and onward. 

 

 5. The old book covers Mathew 24, 25 chptrs in one chpt, but the new book breaks it up along with the concluding chapters in Mathew

 

 I love to study and annualise things. Enjoy

Glenn: it's not about comparing the "Greatest Man" to "Jesus--The Way", but the original printing of "Jesus--The Way" to the updated printing of "Jesus--The Way".

Dusty, she was talking about the changes to the new book.

He really had me worried there! I thought "how could they change so much in such a short period of time?!

[Dustparticle]

Dusty, she was talking about the changes to the new book.

MY mistake. I was comparing the changes from the Greatest Man book to the new book. Enjoy it anyway.

We only just got t his last weekend what an amazing book. Still some conventions yet to receive this though. (Would not have known what you guys were talking about if we hadn't got it this weekend).

Good looking out Brigette, I would not have known, about the update w/o someone telling me. IPad don't let you auomatically, unless you go to the App Store, I guess.

The revelation book got a bunch of minor changes; but in all honesty it was really no change at all; just facts and figures of a statistical nature mostly.  The new publication is probly an effort to help with translation efforts more then anything else.  I really didn't see any new light in it when studying it.

[shali]

Surely they updated anything about Gog of Magog in that book and the info on how events during the GT will happen.

I'm waiting for the new Ezekiel book............ they must be working on it.... they've done every other prophetic book...  8}

Are you speaking of the 2006 revision of the Revelation book, or a newer printing not yet available on WOL?

 

The 2006 Revelation book revision had lots of important doctrinal updates, as listed in the September 2006 KM. (km 9/06 p. 3)

I can easily see a big revised Revelation book in the future.

I'm pretty sure that the Revelation book isn't on jw.org so the revision he is talking about is probably the 2006. I think if we ever study it again, it will need an "over-haul" because of the light getting so bright in the last 10 years already! Plus the scriptures quoted would have to be updated to the Revised NWT - big over-haul!
