    other than the deluxe bible the relative quality of all WT stuff is junk...as a published product. They always used cheap production methods and materials. The papers dont age well..nor does the binding glues used in the spines. Ever see a WT book that was not yellow after a few years?

    Even the deluxe bible has some shortcuts...

    Things are going to get ruined much more quickly

    This would be a GOOD THING for them....every family would be forced into replacing their books and litter-ature on a regular basis, especially on the books they MUST re-study every few years. Can't have an old and already underlined book in their possession ya know!

    The magazine and books that have all their soon-to-be "old light" will be inaccessible, making it difficult to prove "they taught that once".

    It sure looks as though the Watchtowergod is not blessing them with "quality goods" any longer, and the WTS is providing the equivalent of sick and lame animales as sacrifices.

    Don't forget the flyers they offered during three different campaigns last month.

    Kingdom News
    Memorial Invitation
    DC Invitation

    That's gotta save on paper that just goes from the bookbag to the dump via the
    householder.

    Food was actually stopped at Assemblies because that cash-cow dried up.
    Bethelites were used for years and then laid off.
    It wouldn't surprise me if they totally close Brooklyn Bethel down.
    Maybe the Kingdom Ministry will be enclosed in the Members Only Mag.
    Maybe the Members Only Mag will be the only mag to survive and tracts will
    be the literature offer.

    First the new Calander is half the size of the original A4 size....it's hard to write your Witnessing hours! Remember the hard cover books that last forever...now paperback!! MONTHLY AWAKES and Study Article only Watchtowers for Witnesses, saves alot of paper and printing. And the selling off of central New York properties, and getting rid of many Bethel workers.

    Now, now, brother. Take a deep breath.

    The proper term is "streamlining."

    You must nod your head appropriately and agree that less is more, and smaller is bigger. Ahh, yes, much better now.

    Hmm, all these changes describe a corporation that's slowly going out of business.

    They went paper back on a lot of stuff maybe 7 years or more ago.

    I noted the ex's binding on a book... it was made on a coil- deally like a school notebook. I asked when Brooklyn started that binding process..she told me she had the local printer do it. I guess re-binding the litertrash was quite the rage.

    She got a little pissy when I asked her if she really though it was worth spending OUR money to get a job done right. After all ..she could get a new book for free (or a donation for what she thought it was worth)

    Oh well, the crap should be printed on toilet paper.

    at least that way you would be guarateed to have a use for those "back issues"

    Personally i havent seen alot of that since ive been out for a number of years but i have to say........ they KNOW they are being caught up by their bullcrap. They tried to shut quotes down....... and had some success......... cause he was telling the truth about what they actually said. They want their literature to biodegrade quickly so it cant be used against them in a court of law. They also want the brothers and sisters to get a new copy of whatever they are studying......... why........ cause half the reason for studying..... is to keep you to busy to notice your brainwashed. so if you have studied the revalation book 27 times....... and have it underlined and all the scriptures looked up and quoted........... then thats an hour or so you WONT be studying this week.......... and thats an hour you can use to realize its all bullcrap.

    so get a new study book............ throw out the old one with its old light....... waste that same hour over and over by prepareing anew........... keep your head in the sand.......... keep wasteing time trying to indoctrinate others and please continue with your donations.................... yeah
