    All the suspicious stuff is after they are in. All the books, the public WT's, etc, NONE talk about serving a faithful slave/ governing body, or judicial committee's, etc. Once inside then slowly the rules change.

    So, the R&F used the dumbed-down version for FS? Isn't that an insult to the public?

    So, for 140-odd years they didn't need a dumbed-down version, and now they do? Why? Has the world gotten more stupid? hah Or is it that the world is less religious than it used to be, and your average person doesn't understand arcane biblical references? kay

    ...and the fourth edition - which is the 'corrected' version that gets printed in the annual bound volume.

    I am getting a clearer picture now.

    Version one- for placement: You will live forever

    version two- for study: Place this magazine or die

    version three (simplified) Live! or Die!

    Bound Volume: New Revised Light!

    No, the Simplified Version is of the Study Edition because many of the R&F are too uneducated to understand the regular edition.

    The public, on the other hand, is generally intelligent enough to not need a simplified version and smart enough to not read it anyways!
