And very good thinking about having the links offsite.
Too large for me to collect all these with my dialup. But the more people who can collect these the better.

Page 67 the beginning of the end
Although we have always offered the Society's
literature on a contribution basis, recent Supreme
Court decisions have opened the way for
secular authorities to possibly categorize our literature
distribution as commercial activity. To
prevent this misportrayal of the spiritual nature
of our activity and to continue to give the good
news of the Kingdom the widest possible distribution,
we are adjusting the Society's literature
distribution arrangement. These simplified
operations will clarify the voluntary and religious
nature of our work.
In light of these developments, the Society is
adjusting its method of literature distribution by
going to a complete donation method. This will
underline the fact that we are not motivated
by financial interests when preaching the good
news. We are "not peddlers of the word of God
as many men are, but as out of sincerity, yes, as
sent from God," we are declaring the good news
of the Kingdom. (2 Corinthians 2:16b, 17,
New
World Translation Reference Bible,
footnote;Matthew 24: 14) These adjustments in literature
distribution procedures will greatly aid us to continue
our public ministry unrestricted by state
and local laws that regulate commercial houseto-
house activity. We believe these adjustments
will lighten the work load for you brothers and
allow all of
US more time to care for spiritual
interests and to "make sure of the more important
things.v-c-Philippians 1:10.

Thanks for your help Elsewhere. In the future when I have time There are a few nuggets I would like to address that point out the Duplicitous nature of the BORG even when dealing with those 'exercising authority' over the R&F.

I noticed in 2006 they put out a bulletin on how to deal with a hurricane. It goes on and on.
You mean they need to be told how to deal with this kind of disaster? Quick- hurricane approaching-get the manual? Unbelievable.
Is this a sign of the end coming closer? Maybe for idiots who need a manual for a hurricane approaching. The mind boggles.

Amazing work!
This information will certainly come in handy when talking to a certain JW I am wooing to the dark side.

Further, viewing hetero-oral or anal sex (on a video or computer), while certainly unclean,
is not to be considered "gross" or "judicial," though it may lead to removal as an elder, a
ministerial servant, or a pioneer depending on the frequency and when it last occurred.
With regard to viewing oral (or anal) sex of a homosexual or group nature, this is more serious
This is seriously screwed up
