    If the WT is the "Mother" who is the father?
    Jesus is "head" of the church, isn't it also given the title "bride of Christ"
    He is also the "head" of one flock.
    The meaning of "church" is the collective people, the believers, not a building or a corporation.

    As if "truth" can be copyrighted. No one "owns" E=mc2, for instance.

    What constitutes "fair use" has always been a contentious issue.

    But with hundreds of thousands of salespeople lemmings trudging up and down all over the world, attempting to "place" their pablum for the mind with householders, you'd think the society would be tickled pink that anyone, anywhere, at any time would want to use large sections of their propaganda.

    Go figgur.

    They can and have to copyright their truth[tm] because it is mostly made up and if anyone comes up with the same ideas, patterns, behaviours (not likely) it could only be because they copied as their unique truth[tm] is not found ANYWHERE else but their own writings.

    Perhaps we are misinterpreting the "Head" part about Jebus... if put in the correct light, it could explain who the "father" is.
