Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!

I have been going through the studies at your web site, and I am deeply inspired with all of the teachings and studies thereon like Bible studies, sermons, children’s sermons and other teaching materials on our Web site. This is such a wonderful studies you have arranged for all the nations, in the long run of your service for the nations of the all the world.
I am from Islamic Republic of Pakistan where it is difficult to have Radio and TV channel for preaching purposes. They would not allow us to do that here; the Satan has real strong hold over everything. I often say that we are living in the land of the enemy.

Friend, I humbly request you to expand your outreach your program in Urdu and Punjabi language. Urdu is the language spoken and understood by more than one sixth of the total population of the world. Urdu is spoken in Pakistan, India, Nepal, Afghanistan and also in Indonesia, Malaysia, Iran and others.

I would ask you to pray and share it among the brethren. I would offer my services for being translator, recorder and distribution/sales. I pray that your consideration will have His mark over your decision.

May God bless you abundantly! May His perfect will be done!

Grace and Peace be with you, all brethrens.

Yours brother in Christ,
Asim

I probably am judging this too harshly, but I am sick/tired/& annoyed at people pasing off ignorance as some new wave, or illiterate rethinking of the language, proving once and again the “Look Jane, See Spot Run” approacch to reading has failed miserably.

cf: Tagalog.

I do (sort of) admire the creative way these folks abuse English. I realize that Shakespeare had his own spelling quirks, as did most eveyone up until Dan Webster codified it in his dictionary.

But using typos as a way to justify your idiocy (”teh” instead of “the”) is just plain wasteful of bandwidth, food, and oxygen on a hungry, crowded and over-internetted planet.

I respect your position, I just don’t agree with it other than to see the amusement value of the dialect and wonder if the people translating the Bible into this gobbldyygook haven’t anything better to do with their time.

Best wishes…

Doc, I think you might be judging this thing a little too harshly and writing it off too early. The cleverness of some of these (not Bible one so much) is surprising.

It’s not a glorification of ignorance, but more of an inside joke that pretty much everyone knows about. Wall Street Journal has a perfect primer. Just paste this in to Google:
