    Hello,
    I do believe that if we are here is because we are basically truth
    seekers. So let's take some time to examine this:

    "Propagandists think the people have short memory. It is their intention
    to erase past history, presenting themselves in the moder disguise of
    benefactors, their incriminating records being covered up.."
    (Consolation - September 26, 1945)

    with this one:

    A Treasure Worth Any Price
    Granted, accepting the truths of God’s Word exacts a price. First, just learning the truth can be a shattering experience. The Encyclopedia Americana observes: “The truth is often disagreeable, because it fails to support prejudice or myth.” Seeing our beliefs exposed as untrue can be disillusioning, especially if we were taught by trusted religious leaders. Some might liken the experience to finding out that trusted parents were, in fact, secret criminals. But is not finding out religious truth better than living under a delusion? Is it not better to know the facts than to be manipulated by lies?—Compare John 8:32; Romans 3:4.

    My comment is: why we weren't told about many, many things of the past history, from the early times of the Bibles Students?? Why many publications, of 50, 60, 80 years
    ago are not avalaible to the b&s, yet quoted "…freely" by the WTS ?? It is a fact maybe not known by everyone, but the CD-R published by the WTS, contains Wt only
    from 1950, and aw only from 1970…and this not in every language! Some languages
    have the w from 1970, and many publications appear listed as "not available in the
    Watchtower Library". Why should anyone and above all, those who love and defend
    “the truth” fear “any “ clear, factual and impartial open minded research?
