Many thanks for that,

I think the elders are keeping my copy back so I can't scan it!

Quite good enough to read and saves space on the HD

Thanks so much. Clyde and I like to keep up with what's happening.

Seems like we're not hearing much about the public edition. They must be pretty milk toast.

First article: Valueless things. Note that they tell people not to put too much emphasis on money, relaxation, or fun. They also take a stand against wasting time on higher education (that is, college) that is necessary for making a decent living. They also warn against the words of "apostates" as valueless things.

Of course, for me the ultimate valueless thing was practicing the religion. I wasted more than 2,000 hours of time (and quite a bit of money) pursuing it, plus I have had a share in destroying value by persuading others into this valueless thing. Now that I quit doing that, I find myself with the time to actively research the Bible independently (the article mentions researching the Bible, but you cannot do it with independent sources without a visit from Brother Hounder). As an apostate (and not even a Christian one at that), I believe I have a better understanding of the Bible than I did as a witless.

Thanks for the scan! I'll take a look at it at lunch time.

Study article 4, paragraph 12. They have the "suggestion" that people remain single as long as possible. And, they want those people to take "advantage" of being single (meaning Jehovah is in no hurry to allow such ones to ever marry) to go into pioneer work. They are still suggesting going to Beth Hell (so they can be abused and dragged into poverty and then thrown away as soon as they get to an age where they should have some money saved up and will soon be running up medical bills).

The other thing I noticed (where is the puke bucket) was that they wanted men to stay single so they could go to the Ministerial (Value Destroyer) Training "School(??)". Typically, once you go through that, you are waiting to help other congregations, using the techniques that have failed, to improve. With the way the organization has been going in the past couple of years, and things are going to be going with articles like these, it is likely that people will be getting more than one assignment at a time and expected to handle them all. No wonder the Almighty Baghead wants so much to drive the opposite sex away from me at all costs and then forcibly get me back

That WT is full of so much crap, it's hard to believe the J-dubs don't get it. Don't get married, don't have kids, don't go to college, in fact, don't do anything or love anything except the full-time service. Put your life on hold. If you're married, choose not to have kids - that way you won't have any excuse NOT to be in the full time service. Wait to get married, but don't lust after sexual pleasure. Don't enjoy the small things in life, like going out to shop for some new shoes. If you're single, don't you dare do anything but pioneer or go to Bethel. If you have kids, you should be ashamed if they arn't babtized and pioneering themselves.
