  You know, there are some studies that are painful to sit through because of the blatant lies or bull shite spewing from the platform. Then there are those that seem to have no reason for even taking place.

  Such was the case for last nights congregation bible study.

  All it did was talk about how many books and magazines have been published over the years and "aren't we wonderful that we print so much stuff"?

  Seriously?

  This is a study into important biblical things? Give me a break.

  Of course the pathetic dubs in the hall are chirping about holding records as the most widely distributed mags and most translated books like they personally are receiving an award or something.

  Completely pointless!

  I was thinking the same thing during the meeting. I've never noticed it before tonight. It read like a big bragging session for the Watchtower.

  Save the trees! And stop printing worthless bull shit is all I can say about the Watchtower Bible & Tract printing establishment.

  I haven't attended the CLAM/CBS for a significant number of weeks. However, I'm not surprised to read of this corporate (WT/GBoJW) self praise.

  I remember a WT last year where they dropped the emphasis on printing and proselytising successes in favour of method - door to door / trolley / pioneering. Yet publisher numbers are diminishing.

  Thus, the current CBS text is in this (printing) and other contexts, already out of date! The text is also a testimony of the poor calibre of those on the writing/teaching committees in general and of the GBoJW in particular.

  In their self proclaimed role of FDS and therefore dispensing spiritual food at any time, they are just NOT CAPACITOUS. All they, their CO's, and BoE's need do is continue as at present to maintain the trough in financial contributions and exodus of publishers.
