This is one of the first publications that I investigated way back in the beginning of my "ordeal".
The idea of the trinity - whether you believe it or not - has nothing to do with the dishonesty in this brochure. It convinced me that they know exactly what they are doing and will stoop to the lowest level to take advantage of people. It's an abuse of trust.
With the internet shining its light I'm not surprised, only thankful

I cover the mischaracterizations--of the mainstream view and research
material--of the brochure on pp.8 and 9 of "Glenster's Guide to GTJ Brooklyn":

It really was one of their bigger Bloopers. Not knowing the difference between a Baptist and a Pentecostal...Priceless

Just got off the phone with Bethel to call and confirm that it was indeed gone. I got bounced around three times and eventually to the website help desk. The woman DENIED that it was ever on the website. I told her that it was there last month when I went to see it. I was also told it was out of print. I asked if it would be available again. The attendant said I'm not privy to that information. She said brother, you need to contact your local kingdom hall for a copy. I find it interesting that out of print means you can't post it on the website.

Interesting but not surprising, "the TRUTH that leads to eternal life" was in the Guinness book of records as a best seller, and it's also out of print. This was my first study book, I still see the arrow of the one generation from 1914 to.........power of suggestion...do the math, ! one generation.
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me ! Bushed !!!

Now I find out that they have retconned the PDF that was available on the web site, but is no more.
On the back cover, in the blurb at the top in the print edition they are selling the Live Forever book for $3. By the time the PDF was produced, they had changed their business model and were offering a free 'Bible' study, presumably to defer shaking you down for money after you were inducted into the cult.
So I have the print copy here and if the next JW at the door gets tired of discussing Candace Conti we can examine this gem of literature from the celebrated Watchtower scholars.
What a comic book of a religion, huh?

How can the they say (w12 9/1, page 13; see the footnote in http://wol.jw.org/de/wol/dsync/r10/lp-x/r1/lp-e/2012644#h=9-10&selpar=9), the trinity booklet is "out of print", when it is still "available to congregations" and can be obtained upon "request" in Bengali, Chinese (traditional), Vietnamese and Japanese (see pages 2, 15, 19, 35, 67 of the March 2013 Watchtower Publications List)?!!!! (Even in their Chinese, Vietnamese and Japanese editions of w12 9/1, page 13 they claim the trinity booklet is "out of print".)
Out of print - but they are handing out leftovers?
(The September 2012 Publications List in addition had the Arabic version of the booklet listed as "available", the January 2011 list had: Arabic, Bengali, Bulgarian, Chinese-simplified, Chinese-traditional, German, Hindi, Japan, Korean, Russian, Vietnamese).
Still making it available means they still approve of it. They still have no problems handing out the booklet with all of it's misquotations and use of authors who - according to their own standards - would not be reliable?!!
Claimed as "truth": (Yearbook 2011, pages 9, 10, 13):
" TRACING ALL THINGS WITH ACCURACY ... So how do we check for quality, accuracy, and reliability? ... In summary, the Writing Department insists on using only material that is accurate and truthful, even regarding seemingly insignificant details. As a result, “the faithful and discreet slave” can consistently supply spiritual food that brings honor to “the God of truth,” Jehovah.— Ps. 31:5 ."

some one should list all the miss quotes in the brochure.
