The Famous "Fat Boy" highly coveted edition for serious Bible Students 1961 New World Translation  

JW Insider

I think the photo is correct for the 1970 revision of the green 1961 NWT.  Would have looked the same as the cover of the 60's versions. The actual "Fat Boy" was a direct rebinding of the 5 previously

Hi @JW Insider

I knew the photo wasn't correct.... just a green NWT.... 

BUT ... I didn't catch the 1970 revision. Thanks for the correction. I will keep this post the way it is in case someone does have a link to the 1961 actual "Fat Boy" version.

(Wasn't this 1970 edition just as "Fat" though?)

I think the photo is correct for the 1970 revision of the green 1961 NWT.  Would have looked the same as the cover of the 60's versions. The actual "Fat Boy" was a direct rebinding of the 5 previously released volumes that came out in 1953, 1955, 1957, 1958 and 1960 until the entire Bible was complete. (The Greek Scriptures came out first, then Genesis through Malachi split across several volumes.)

So the "spine" was about half the width of the cover, not 1/4 of the width as shown in your photo. But more than that, the "Fat Boy" has cross-references down the middle, which your PDF doesn't have.

      What is the best way to do fasting?

      By Pudgy · Posted

      In 1971 I fasted for 90 days and lost 100 pounds … a pound a day … with the IBWH, “I’m broke, and what the hell” diet. The first week was uncomfortable. Not recommended if you are over 40 years old, or are not chubby to start with. I did drink a lot of water.

      What do Jehovah's Witnesses think of Bitcoin?

      In real life “Maria” is probably really someone that looks a lot like Danny DiVito with a skin rash.

      What do Jehovah's Witnesses think of Bitcoin?

      Maria followed me on Twitter one fine day and she was drop-dead gorgeous. No, I did not follow her back for that reason. Trust me on this: drop dead gorgeous women throw themselves at me all the time; it is a great nuisance because all I want to do is think about God. In fact, I didn’t follow her back at all, not even for the reassuring profile photo she displayed, consisting solely of “Jehovah” in gold-embossed letters. However, I did scroll her timeline and found a suitable place to leave a comment. She soon replied that she had just texted me. Sorry, I told her, I don’t do DM. I stay on the public side of Twitter. “Why?” she wanted to know. “Because if I do so I am immersed in dozens of private chats and I can’t keep up,” said I. She responded that, in that case, I could contact her on WhatsApp. I didn’t reply to that one. Next thing you know she has disappeared and all her notifications with her! I searched out her username: “Account suspended for violation of Twitter rules.” Hmm. I searched for the name on Facebook. It links to a certain bit-coin trader, also drop-dead gorgeous. No, Maria, my dear, I have all the bit-coin I need, thank you very much—even though you are drop-dead gorgeous, even though your profile does say ‘Jehovah’ so I know you are one of us, probably belonging to the congregation right next door. I’ve no doubt she has a separate profile that says Jesus, another that says Buddha, Dagon, Moroni, Baal, and a dozen others.  It is called ‘Affinity Fraud,’ winning someone’s confidence through feigned common roots. It factors into the making of E.T—The Sequel, a movie you may not have seen. In the original, cute, adorable, toddler E.T. charms all who are pure enough to let him into their hearts. But in E.T.—the Sequel, he returns as a surly teenager. He curses, spits, brawls, swears, and in the end destroys the earth with his white-hot power beam, starting with Wall Street.  Steven Spielberg, the movie’s creator, had just lost an ever-loving fortune to the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme. Both were Jews. Virtually all of Madoff’s victims were Jews. It was affinity fraud. Not that Maria’s scheme is a fraud, necessarily, but her means of contact certainly was. She’s probably not even drop-dead gorgeous. She’s probably an old hen. And even if she is not, so what? Is not Mrs. Harley also drop-dead gorgeous?

      "Let us hold firmly the public declaration of our hope without wavering, for the one who promised is faithful.  And let us consider one another so as to incite to love and fine works,  not forsaking our meeting together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you see the day drawing near."
      Love you, dear ones! 💖🥰

      "Grace" means "undeserved kindness".
       
      "For we all received from his fullness, even undeserved kindness upon undeserved kindness."
       
      "Speak to one another with psalms, praises to God, and spiritual songs, singing and accompanying yourselves with music in your hearts to Jehovah,  always giving thanks to our God and Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
       
      As you reflect on the blessings (superabundant blessings beyond all we could ask or conceive!) made possible by Jesus' precious blood this Memorial, may you continue to rejoice in the undeserved kindnesses of our beautiful Creator and Friend, Jehovah! Praise Jehovah💖☺️
