Island Man
Here's an article from an awake, still-in, former elder, commenting on the subject:

From paragraph 10:
- Millions upon millions of tracts, brochures, and magazines have been distributed in campaigns through- out the world, without charge to the public. The expense has been covered by the voluntary donations of Jehovah’s Witnesses, who have followed Jesus’ in- struction: “You received free, give free.” —Matt. 10:8.

From paragraph 13:
- “Every effort is made to keep Jehovah’s organization morally clean and undefiled, regardless of who has to be counseled or disciplined.”
Oh, please! This is so demonstrably NOT TRUE!!!
Here is just the lastest in a long, long string of evidence how untrue the above quoted WT statement is:

More from paragraph 13:
- Thus, during the modern-day history of Jehovah’s Witnesses, relatively few have had to be expelled from the Christian fellowship because they would not conform to God’s standards.
What a complete, bald-faced lie!!!
- "In recent years disfellowshippings worldwide have been approximately 1 percent of publishers." Watchtower 1992 Jul 1 p.19
I know this reference is a little stale, but even if it was only true then (we all know it is still is true), that's about 70,000 people a year!
This means that about 1.5 million people or more have been disfellowshipped from 1992 until now! (Never mind all the millions before 1992).
That sure as hell is NOT "relatively few."
What liars the WTBTS writers are.
Seriously.

From paragraph 14:
Thousands have repented of their unchristian actions and have been welcomed back into the congregation.
How many of us here went through the humiliating process of getting reinstated just to be "welcomed back" and found they were never treated the same?
I am one!

I feel sorry for all of those still trapped and unable to escape.
What a disaster.

In that case they only became the true religion in the 1990s, because prior to that they turned a blind eye to Matthew 10:8 and charged the public a fee for the literature.
It would be nice for Awake ones commenting on that paragraph to "innocently" slip in the point that the literature has been free only since the 1990s.
