New "theocratic history" book for witnesses? (page 2)

The Watchtower LOVES to BRAG and presents itself in glorious terms and some of you are sooo impressed, just sucked right in ....

factfinder: the chapter 8 of the book is factual, it is impressive, in- the volume of literature that has been produced

Really Impressive ?

How about the LARGEST Bible translating and publishing organization in the world ? These peopel have 2,550 different languages they translated the Bible into.

"The United Bible Societies is made up of 146 national Bible Societies operating in over 200 countries and territories. Together, they are the biggest translator, publisher and distributor of the Bible in the world.

They are also active in areas such as literacy training, HIV and AIDS prevention and disaster relief. Bible Societies work with all Christian Churches and many international non-governmental organisations.

Translating the Bible remains at the heart of what we do. There are nearly 500 complete Bible translations (almost 30 per cent of which include the Deuterocanon) and each year more are added. Currently, there are Scriptures available in over 2,550 of the world’s estimated 7,100 languages."

But United Bible Societies is made up of 146 Bible societies COMBINED!

The wts is a SINGLE publisher and printer. There is no other SINGLE publishing organization that produces as much literature as watchtower.

The wts produces more books, magazines, tracts and booklets/brochures than any other religious publishing company and if you include the largest commercial printing companies the wts makes the top 5 in book production and magazine production!

The largest commercial printing companies such as Qaudgraphics and RR Donnelley print for thousands of different publishing companies, wt only prints for itself.

It is impressive the UBS translates the Bible into so many languages but none of their 146 societies on a singular basis does as much publishing work as the wts.

This to me is why the wts printing operations are so impressive. It is a SINGLE publisher/printer producing such vast quantities of literature.

Vast amounts of B... Sh....t. Causes more stench. !!!!

for wtvs fans:

page 199 par 18: "--interest free loans-- as these loans are repayed, still more---" so:

as of the febr. 2014 printing, the new light on PROCEDURES, money, pledges, cancelled loans, book keeping, accounting nomanclature, was not available to the writers, so we have

old light in a new publication.

wt now has also overlapping light.

wtvs? Detroit Public television, for you others, wait until you get your copy.

re: impressive printing, like testimony cards, phonographs [now tablets].

It is like the pyramids, impressive to have harnessed this mass movement, human resources, and it probably will be a monument to a past, mistaken concept too. a pyramid scheme.

Factfinder, just imagine what all the "worldly" publishers could produce IF THEY HAD SLAVE LABOR WORKING FOR THEM!

The wts is like a plantation owner bragging over the crops he never lifted a finger to produce. Oh, and did I tear apart your families? Too bad. Oh, did you get injured? You're of no use to me now.

Bragging rights for the wts are broken families, leagues of pedophiles safely protected from the law but not the kiddies, and lost lives who never reached their potential. Brag on that.

Funny how those a part of the Watchtower Society being self-proclaimed followers of Bible (interpreted) principles such as not celebrating birthdays and not taking blood transfusions (Using some mental gymnastics to say the least), after reading Ecclesiastes 12:12 does not apply accordingly and make the necessary adjustments.

They just continue to put out more literature, new tracks, new books, etc., keeping their followers ever busy and overwhelmed with their doctrines and controlled information in a treadmill of works to support the organization and its assets.

Straight from their own translation, Ecclesiastes 12:12: "As for anything besides these, my son, be warned: To the making of many books there is no end, and much devotion to them is wearisome to the flesh."

Probably somewhere down the road some "new light" will help them see this more clearly.

The Proclaimers Book was a whitewashed history, but at least it gave a passing nod to the WT's false predictions and internal problems. It was useful in pointing out to JWs that not all in the JW history was rosy.

This latest booklet appears to give up all pretense of objectivity. It seems to be a 240 page propaganda piece in which the WTS is painted as never being wrong about anything, and every effort of their has been s smashing success.

And yes it has numbered paragraphs and questions. It will likely be covered in the midweek "Congregation Bible Study" in 2 or 3 years.

sir82-

we know the wts will never admit to any wrongdoing or mistakes. This new gb wants to distance itself from past wt history and will continue trying to cover it over. They want to create their own version of jws and bring glory to themselves.

When the new book was released did they limit how many copies you could have?
