If they had the "truth", wouldn't they stop printing new literature?

The fact that they are coming out with new magazines and new books all the time, can only mean that they haven't found the truth yet.

If they had the truth, they'd be satisfied with their old publications.

Yeah, but you can't build a publishing empire that way.

One would think

that was true.

I hate the term, ..."in the truth". hate it

They make a big deal about not spelling out and following creeds. But they found a better way. A fluid creed. Their creed is their latest published literature on every doctrinal topic. Its a great business model, since in order to posess "truth", you have to be a consumer of all the latest published literature.

One of the things my wife has mentioned earlier is how to be Christian, one must also respect the environment. If this is the case, why not encourage the use of the internet to avoid all the printing and paper costs, but in that case how would one make a profit, I guess you could charge for access to the website. It amazes me how 'blind' the members of the wt can be and how due to the teachings of the gb, any change can be accepted as new light as the old teachings just fade away.

They obviously don't have the real truth despite their claims because the real truth is unchanging but theirs is precisely the opposite it always changes it is cheap flimsy, and unstable.

Adding to the truth is one thing, changing it is quite another. The light doesn't increase, it just blinks.

(hands on my hips now).....

Well....whaddya suppose they'll release at the Conventions-where-you-can't-eat-lunch" this summer???

Look closely.... they ARE SATISFIED with the old publications!

The WTS doesnt have anything "new" to offer......just cut and dried....I mean cut and PASTED (old information) from the past to have everyone drag home and be expected to (re)read.

Of course the blindsheep will be THRILLED to "receive these blessings of spiritual food" and babble all the way home about them.

Old, moldy and warmed over spiritless crumbs of food from the Watchtowergod.....yum yum.

Good point!

12 As regards anything besides these, my son, take a warning: To the making of many books there is no end, and much devotion [to them] is wearisome to the flesh.

Funny how I/we didn't apply that scripture to them!
