It's because the printing presses at Bethel print in sections of 8 and 200 pages sounds more daunting, psychologically.
These are the kind of exciting things you learn on a Bethel tour.

Funny thing, but on October 6, any witlesses who attended the washtowel study session were told that they had to cut back on secular work (in addition to donating any "surplus funds" to the Worldwide Pedophile Defense Fund). This was to make room for more field circus. For sure, you are not going to enjoy doing that--even the most dreary secular work is not as dreary as endless field circus.
Besides, I would rather be programming computers, writing video games, and helping legitimate defense operations and getting paid a princely sum of money rather than pious-sneering.

Point blank James 3:1 not all should be teachers as theyll basically be held to a higher standard. As the WT makes this a priority ti teach, if they teach something false (like the old new light on the FDS) they are held to a higher account. Some are better suited to teaching, some prophesying (not many), and some with other things their gifts allow. Chriet never said ALL had to preach right? He spoke often to his disciples. And if he did give all the ckmmission to preach, then all Christians should be commisiondd to partake of the emblems...ONE HOPE, ONE baptism, etc etc.

Matthew 6:1-4 (and beyond)
“Take care not to practice your righteousness in front of men to be noticed by them; otherwise you will have no reward with your Father who is in the heavens. 2 So when you make gifts of mercy, do not blow a trumpet ahead of you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be glorified by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. 3 But you, when making gifts of mercy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your gifts of mercy may be in secret. Then your Father who looks on in secret will repay you."
By reporting their every work, to get credit from the society, who in turn publishes it and brags about how much work they are doing, they are canceling their reward from Jehovah God.
What justification do they use, for reporting their service? No one else does that, yet many others (not JW's) are serving without recognition from men.
