CoC - Thanks.
Sizemik - The bOrg are the 'butt' of many a joke!
I DO get the impression some of the WBT$'s more recent articles are in reaction to what is being said on these forums. This increases my hunch that they employ an official 'snooper' to find out what is said so the WBT$ can print the opposite to make thamselves look above reproach.
It would certainly seem so at times Unky . . .
Although . . . did you ever get the "pillow feathers in the town square" illustration? . . . how words, once they are spoken (or written) can never be retrieved?
All they do is show how whimsically political they are in their ever-changing teachings . . . more sign of weakness.
Answer to the origional question would have to be YES. They need to keep an eye on the competition. They have in the past stopped video on you tube or at least tried to by legal means. Any business keeps an eye on it competitors, even if they tell everyone that Jehovah sees into everyones souls I think they don't have the connection so they have to do it manually instead of recieving instruction from some imaginary shrine built in Brooklin offices.
Couple of things I did notice however...
1. Recently the Awake published an article, "5 lies about god".... where did they get the inspiration to write this article? Browsing popular sites on the internet of course..
2. On a serious note however I do think they have read the crisis of concience and combatting cult metality books along with other literature. They are adaptive.... I tried to approach my partner with some stuff and she not only had answers for the questions but also rebuffed much. They have shored their indoctrination up and most of the literature is becoming out of date. New , secret approaches are needed since you know how evil the WT are in their therocratic twisting of words... I seriously think if Satan exsisted then he would be running an organisation like that..
I am sure, starting with recent events, that the true face of the Jehovah's Witnesses will be seen by the world.
"There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed" as they like to say about the world.
and the world will see them as the despicable filth they are.

sizemik - Arg! Not an illustration..................make it stop, still unclean, still unclean!!
Trailer - Proof again that they are just a greed business, nothing to do with reigion.
Aussie - Let's hope the WBT$ gets all the exposure it needs......................to sink it!
This pretty much speaks for itself:
Matthew 5:44 (KJV) But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Matthew 5:44 (NWT) However, I say to YOU: Continue to love YOUR enemies and to pray for those persecuting YOU;
Perhaps in the next revision the entire verse will disappear.
Prodigal - I agree with you.
They pose in public at being loving but we all know how hateful the GB are. They throw their teddies out of the pram whenever they are challenged. So they lie about 'love in the bravverhood' to the public in the watchtower but spew forth vitriol and murderous hate in the 'members only' watchtower.
OK. I know the 'study edition' watchtower can be requested by the public.............................but who in the public even knows about it?
yes of course we're being watched. as Trailerfitter said, they have to keep an eye on the competition, or in this case, more the critique, the opposition, the dissent.
how else would they know what issues to adress? i've noticed evidence of this even in the last few weeks of study articles - i dont have them here to quote directly, but for instance the segment about being more interested in revealing god's unfolding purpose than shielding themselves from critique??? really?? that in ITSELF is an attempt to deflect critique by making it seem irrelevant! and sadly, for some it will work..
also the current/upcoming assembly demo dealing with the dissatisfaction about the generation change. recent articles touching on apostacy, disfellowshipped family members, and so on, meety topics on our side. how about their request for cease and desist to Anony Mous' email campaign? in short, they just cannot operate the organization without keeping a close eye on what is happening on the other side of the fence.
I LOVE MrFreeze cuz he loves Pittsburgh!
What's this about a cease and desist on Anony Mous' email campaign? Did I miss something?
