I was watching a video and the guy said the 'Oraganized to do jahs Will' book is for members only as well as the elders 'Pay attention..flock' book. I knew about the elders book and can understand why they don't want members or outsiders looking at that one but what would a r & f jw say at the doors if a householder asked for the 'Organized..' book? the usual 'get back to you on that'? How would a jw explain to a householder that they couldn't have it or the 'study' (koolaid) edition of the wt? Is there an official canned response for householders who want member only lit?

The organized books are only given to people who are studying and approaching baptism as a jw. The baptism questions to be considered by them with the elders are in that book.

As far as I know, the public can have a study edition of the kool aid WT if they go to a meeting...

Thanks guys, I know you can only get certain lit/books by going to a kh (even if they make you give them back before you leave as some faders have mentioned here) but what would a jw say if someone asked them at the door out of the blue for one? assume they were an apostate?

The book is supposed to be handed out to baptismal candidates who have presented themselves to be 'recognized unbaptized publishers' and have gone out in FS already.
It is as guarded in my KH as the Flock and Illuminator books.
Oddly enough the Spanish Congregation has a copy on their side of the library available to anyone who happens to actually use the library.
I think a JW at the door would assume one of two things:
1. OMG I am about to land a study (assumes person previously studied and is interested in it again!)
2. Apostate
As you may remember each KM has a 'book offering' and the OD book is never on that list!

The book should be in the KH Library according to the KM. But many elders do for some reason fear to do so. When I asked an elder why it was not in the Library he said that everybody could read it, if they did. So I asked him, and that would be bad because? He did not reply. So I asked him that if the GB told him to put a copy in the Library and he did not obey, how would the GB look at such a person? No reply.
