Wow, that guy really nailed it!
Let me tell you about how our PO handled the box. Oh my friends, he didn't skip a bit. He relished the extra mind control he was going to enforce upon the group.
He started off by going over the FDS scrip, beating it into everyone who their Master was. This also included a question about how the FDS included the anointed, which can be contradicted by one of their recent QFRs.
The PO had a lot of material gleaned from my confrontation with him. He talked about forums and debates and being preoccupied with "one or two errors." This was all indirectly aimed at me, I'm sure, as no one else in the hall has the balls to question what's happening to them.
His big point was to emphasise how FANTASTIC the latest books were, and how we didn't need any more than these. That was laughable. But he was also concerned with how discussion and debate "only tear down, not build up." He is right--discussion will tend to tear down the WT paradigm, and put up a more reasoned one!
The PO knew he had the support of his most brainwashed poverty pioneer, and he went to her for glowing testimonies of absolute love for the FDS. Bear in mind that she is mentally imbalanced--the whole congregation knows it--but this is the WT's biggest fan!
His big closer was a plastic jug filled with water set up on a folding table. He had some food coloring in hand. "So you see friends, if we spend our time online, debating various points, and doing research outside what the Slave(TM) approves, the Troof can become murky...."
One drop, two drops...he stirs it a bit....
"...and then suddenly, it doesn't look clear to us at all!"
WOOOOOW.

One of the best reviews I have seen. Thanks for the heads-up.
Best line:
Reader, if you can't see "cult" in this, then I don't know how much more clear it could be.

For those who wish to do extra Bible study and research, we recommend that they explore Insight on the Scriptures, "All Scripture Is Inspired of God and Beneficial," and our other publications, such as those that discuss the prophecies found in the Bible books of Daniel, Isaiah, and Revelation.
It just hit me that they don't mention "Aid to Bible Understanding" which came before the Insight book but later than "All Scripture Is Inspired of God and Beneficial." Do you suppose it was because Ray Franz had a lot to do with the "Aid" book? -

The Aid book was replaced in 1987 (?) or so by the 2 volume "Insight on the Scriptures." It is essentially the same thing with more pictures.....
