Not so.  If you Google "olam indefinite time,"  as I did, you  will have a 
much different result.  None of the first references was to the  NWT or 
Jehovah's Witnesses, but to word studies done by others that equate  "olam" with an 
indefinite time.  One of such references goes back  to James Orr, M.A., D.D., 
general editor of the  "International  Standard Bible Encyclopedia," published 
in 1915.
 
Besides, I thought the objective academic issue was not who uses the term,  
but whether the term is an accurate representation of the Hebrew "olam."   Once 
we go off subjectively into other matters and play the "sect" card, the  
discussion devolves to another plane.

Do you have  any reason to change your mind? It seems to me that these 
translators did  indeed make up the expression, or perhaps they borrowed 
it from earlier  teaching of their sect.
