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.
