  Not very appealing and couldn't sell well.

  I think that householders intended victims could see them through the bookbags, like they had X-ray eyes. That was even when the JW used the Deluxe (Maroon or Black) versions.

  They were ugly by themselves but look at how they matched with all of the loud pink, green, and orange publications!

  I have not seen it, but seems to me there is an underlying message in the color. A confirmation of compliance.

  Is God Green? A new holy war is growing within the conservative evangelical community, with implications for both the global environment and American politics. For years liberal Christians and others have made protection of the environment a moral commitment. Now a number of conservative evangelicals are joining the fight, arguing that man's stewardship of the planet is a biblical imperative and calling for action to stop global warming. Bill Moyers http://www.pbs.org/moyers/moyersonamerica/green/index.html

  The green movement has many structural similarities to Marxism, another secular religion. It assures adherents that history is on their side and rewards them with a sense of belonging and purpose. Both Marxism and greenism have diagnosed the world's problems and offer solutions that are not only psychologically appealing to many people, but also seem morally "right." Like Marxism, greenism pretends to be science but amounts to dogma.

  ....just as the Marxists had a hidden agenda of controlling other people,.....as with the Marxists, to an end justifies the means approach: Absolutely nothing is more important than saving the earth. socialist beliefs had only a limited intellectual appeal, since the facts contradicted them everywhere. Their appeal was psychological and spiritual. In other words, religious and not susceptible to reason.

  Most greens are nonviolent, but the movement is increasingly strident, and there is also a strain of malevolence and suppressed violence,

  The National Religious Partnership for the Environment (NRPE)

  The Partnership is a formal agreement among four of the nation's largest religious organizations:

  • U.S. Catholic Conference
  • National Council of Churches of Christ
  • Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life
  • Evangelical Environmental Network.

  The objectives of the NRPE are nothing less than the transformation of social order into a global society organized around the notion that the earth itself is the giver of life, and that all the world's religions are evolving into a state of enlightenment that recognizes Gaia as the true source of life and spirituality, and is the only relevant object of worship.

  NACRE President, Donald B. Conroy, said the conference, entitled "Caring for Creation," was "an introduction to congregational habitat," which will provide resource materials for local congregations, "the first steps of an environmental ministry."(12)

  the NRPE "will trigger the beginning of grassroots activity in tens of thousands of religious congregations across the country."

  Now we're learning that perhaps this planet has not been created for humans, but that humans have been created for the planet.

  He then asked the audience to join him in a "Howl-le-lu-ia Chorus." He made a wolf sound, and nearly 200 people howled back, expressing their oneness with the wolf.

  This is the theology, or cosmology, which underlies the NRPE. These are the people who conceived the NRPE, and these are the people who are creating the material that is being delivered to 67,300 churches in America.

  I think they got a deal on the cover material......................The original set of NWTs was a darker green.

  as expained to me by Mark Lett who's son is Steve Lett (Gov Body) back in the 70s

  it's all about life... green is life... black bibles like you see in church... all about death.

  thats a paraphrase... but you get the drift. Bright festive colors to polarize the JW s from mainstream churches
