Studying Bible alone is not good enough?

    Does anyone have a link to where I can find quotes from WT publications that show they frown upon relying solely upon the Bible for studying? I seem to recall somewhere in the publications that they imply that one cannot comprehend the Bible without the food from WT publications.

    The reason why I bring this up is because I have a JW acquaintance that says the organization actually is promoting use of the Bible more than ever, because the JWs are relying too heavily on WT literature simply because it is easy to understand. This person gives the impression that WT publications are secondary now to the Bible.

    I thought it was the other way around.

    *** w67 10/1 587 Finding Freedom with Jehovah's Visible Organization ***
    Thus the Bible is an organizational book and belongs to the Christian congregation as an organization, not to individuals, regardless of how sincerely they may believe that they can interpret the Bible. For this reason the Bible cannot be properly understood without Jehovah's visible organization in mind.
