I'm looking to put together a collection of scanned Watchtower / Awake articles and extracts of other Watchtower Publications to show non-JWs (and maybe even some current JWs) that highlight the control issues of the society.
I am thinking along the lines of the famous 1996 article with the caption "Do you wisely destroy apostate material ?" etc etc.
I will obviously upload the collection when it is complete.
Can anyone help out with suggestions for articles please ?
Thank you
How about the one that says married couples' activities behind doors can be scrutinized by the organization? Dammit, wish i had the magazine....

It sounds like a good one for the collection. Any idea of the date ?
AlphaOmega:
How about: "A Time to Speak--When?
Where JW's are told to breach or even break confidentiality laws. Such as confidential Medical records or Law records!
Or!
How about the Watchtower article that "left out" the second half of "Article 4" of the United Nations which would have "exposed" what the Watchtower Society didn't want JW's to see?
Just let us know what you need AO and we will do whatever we can to help.

AO,
The Silentlambs site has a page with a wealth of quotes about organizational control from past magazines and publications: http://www.silentlambs.org/gbcontrol.htm
The issue you mentioned about "wisely destroying apostate" material is listed there as being from the 3/15/1986 issue. It also asks the probing question: Why is reading apostate publications similar to reading pornographic literature?
Also, about the married couples / sex practices issue, I found this in Yahoo Answers: http://au.answers.yahoo.com/answers2/frontend.php/question?qid=20080116192535AAUv3OQ
Oral or anal sex between married couples was classified as;
a disfellowshipping offence - Watchtower 1974 November 15 p.704
no longer an offence - Watchtower 1978 February 15 pp.30-32
once again an offence - Watchtower 1983 March 15 p.31
