I was really turned off by the segment of the meeting dealing with the Watchtower's Bible Collection. I thought I was at the Antique Road Show on PBS.
What was that all about? It was so bizzarre for these "annointed" ones to get off on collecting these old printed bibles.
You can get excellent scans of just about any historical document.
Looked like a personal hobby of Sanderson the nararator.
There is something idolatrous and at the very least a sick display of the hoarding instinct in the glee coming from getting their "paws" on these treasures.
What a disappointment to see a religion started by people who wanted to abandon all earthly things and join Christ in the air, fawn over these relics carefully preserved as a memorial they can fondle.
Are they really in the museum business now? Maybe they ought to build a shrine.
Also the table with all the notebooks used buy the NWT translation committee. If those notebooks are so valuable why don't they scan them and put them on line so we can see what their thought
processes were. Since they are hiding their identity that ought to be the least these "scholars" should provide.
Instead they hoard these relics and try to generate excitement over the scrawlings of these faceless "experts". Didn't you feel priveleged to get a 5 second view of one of the pages of this historical project?
We now have Watchtower treasures just like the Vatican. The only difference is that the Watchtower isn't 2000 years old.
