Yes. All those things didn't happen. Just like 1975 was never even mentioned by the WBT$.

Ding, they NEVER happened, but if they did, it wasn't the WTBTS's fault. Even so, they are willing to settle out of court, out of the goodness of their hearts. That's how humble they are.

Is that the company line now?
If that's what's happening, wouldn't that mean that the GB is compromising its integrity by taking money that was dedicated to Jehovah and paying it to evil apostates who are spreading lies about Jehovah's organization?
Sorry, What am I thinking? I forgot Rule #1: The GB is always right...
Compare:
"...forwarding research material, verses extracted for Bible study, or answers to use at congregation meetings would detract from the value of each individual’s personal preparation."--The Watchtower, October 15, 2015, p. 31
With:
"... in Jehovah’s organization it is not necessary to spend a lot of time and energy in research, for there are brothers in the organization who are assigned to do that very thing, to help you who do not have so much time for this, these preparing the good material in The Watchtower and other publications of the Society."--The Watchtower, June 1, 1967, p. 338
Translates as:
It's perfectly okay for "brothers in the organization" to forward research material, verses extracted for Bible study, or answers to use at congregation meetings if they are handpicked by Watchtower to do this, but if other "brothers in the organization" forward research material, verses extracted for Bible study, or answers to use at congregation meetings it would detract from the value of each individual’s personal preparation.
Let's review this article " The Naive Person Believes Every Word". As somebody said in another thread "Ooh, the irony!"
A huge amount of information—true and false, useful and worthless, harmless and dangerous—is now available, thanks to modern technology. We must be very selective about what we consider worthy of our attention.............
.........How can we become “shrewd” and identify hoaxes, urban legends, swindles, and other misinformation?............................
....Then, use “good sense.” (Prov. 7:7) If a news item seems unbelievable, it probably is
Like Eternal Life in perfect health in Paradise????

Data - He said that I was wrong, and that "slander" can be true information used against someone.
Punk - What in blue blazes does that mean? How can you use truth against someone unjustly?
I believe true information used against someone is called blackmail.
Edit: not blackmail, defamation
Slander is oral defamation
Libel is written defamation
Both are usually based on untruth. However, defamation could be based on truth that unjustly injures another. Blackmail, of course, is the holding back knowledge of something true for gain that would be damaging to another, if such knowledge were released.
Edit 2: In the legal world, usually something must be false to be considered slander. However, this article sheds some light on this topic: "Can A True Statement Form the Basis for a Defamation Lawsuit? In a Controversial Ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit Says Yes"
Is the WTS becoming nuttier and nuttier ?
I say let em talk about 1914, or shunning, or blood, or GB every freaking week. At least it keeps the converts away. There hasn’t been a convert in my wives cong for years. Of course a few lonely weirdos show some interest till they start attending meeting and see how fucked up it is. The constant villainization of ex-member really show it for what it is.
It really sucks for the born ins though.
