  I can think of two. First, the whole of both study articles in the 11/1/1989 Puketower. That one has the "You are not going to do fornication, and you are not going to marry outside the cult" as its summary. I would like to see both study articles posted in their entirity so I can bash the crap out of them, and expose that as proof that Jehovah is NOT maximally benevolent.

  The other is that dreaded article on discouragement from Satan in the April 1, 1995 Puketower. This is another one that can be used to prove that Jehovah is a Tyrant, and will exploit situations (and even create them) that are hurtful to all involved, just so He can benefit Himself. Getting all the sisters to reject me, catalyzed by that trash, and then telling me not to let it stop me from serving that Almighty Louse, and ultimately to force me into the Value Destroyer Training School and push the organization into orbit. And for no reward! Jehovah deserves to be exposed as maximally malevolent by this crap.

  That done, it would knock down the whole foundation of the Watchtower Society. If Jehovah is exposed as maximally malevolent instead of maximally benevolent, then people are going to have no impetus to serve Him. Which would ultimately help ruin the Watchtower Society and its power.

  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?

  Thanks for that. I must have mistyped.

  Good suggestions so far - thanks all.

  I'll probably scan the articles separately and upload them rather than making a single PDF of them all, that way people can download what they like.

  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?

  Do you have any idea of the reference for that article ?

  Thanks

  Awake February 2008 on crime, telling in short all criminals are nothing but evil people with no hope of reform, and with no comments whatsoever made as to upbringing, traumatic events in their childhood, ADHD causes etc. Depressing article based on ONE book, "Inside the criminal mind" by Stanton E. Samenow, terrible material for those of us who have had the misfortune of either ourselves or our relatives/children at some time having committed a crime.

  The Watchtower was "required" to provide at least 6 published materials to qualify for membership with the U.N. • Evidence of an active information programme relevant to the UN: at least six (6) different types of samples of the organization’s most recent information materials (e.g. newsletter, periodicals, tapes of radio or television programmes, conference reports, web site, news clippings) Scroll down 1/2 the page here: http://www.un.org/dpi/ngosection/brochure.htm The Watchtower applied for association in 1991 and was granted association in 1992. Scan: http://www.imagger.com/view/354735_scan-10001.jpg.html So, in 1991 while the Watchtower was still attempting to qualify they published this front cover spread in their September 8, Awake for the U.N. Scan: http://www.imagger.com/view/75071_scan-20001.jpg.html Article 4 of the United Nations reads as follows: Article 4 1. Membership in the United Nations is open to all other peace-loving states which accept the obligations contained in the present Charter and, in the judgment of the Organization, are able and willing to carry out these obligations. Click on "Chapter 2" to your left here: http://www.un.org/aboutun/charter/ But, that is not quite how the Watchtower Society "quoted" Article 4, now is it? No, they quoted Article 4 like this: True, “membership in the United Nations is open to all . . . peace-loving states.” (Article 4(1)) Scan: http://www.imagger.com/view/526658_scan-30001.jpg.html The reason the Watchtower Society "left out" the rest of Article 4 is obvious!

  Pioneer Spit...oh, i mean Spirit

  The situation is different if the disfellowshipped or disassociated one is a relative living outside the immediate family circle and home, states. It might be possible to have almost no contact at all with the relative.

  TheWatchtower of April 15, 1988, page 28.

  That statement makes me physically ill. I can hardly believe they put it in print.

  I think you are mixing two things here, because article 4 deals with membership by states, and that is something totally different than the NGOs, which are not member states, but organizations participating in various sub-division work. So the quoting of only parts of article 4 here is nothing strage at all, as it deals with something totally different than what you seem to try to make it deal with. Peace.
