    • ""Clearly the Governing Body didn't want independent study, as it doesn't connect a person to the Organization like the effect of having a tutor.""

      The Borg has been doubling down on anti-independand study since around 2007-2009 since then especially.

    The king james bible which protestant religions used for years and still do has the name Jehovah. Witnesses just adopted it from popular usage. Half of us scribble the tetragrsgmmaton backwards anyway. Technically it is HWHY from Hebrew.

    The lffy is suposed to be the brochure du jour now. The midweek bore fest study is confusing for Witnesses, no idea how plays to a newby.

    Online study leads sincere ones AWAY from WTC. They fear that - so it had to go.

    I figure the WTS wants jws to get out and do their "field service" and "bible study" in person unless they have some serious medical reasons (of course approved by the elders who are not doctors). I don't see why there wouldn't also be a problem is a jw studies with a person alone without a partner. When I was a regular pioneer, I was counseled that no one saw me out "preaching" mostly because my schedule did not allow it during the times others said they only could go out. I even knew a regular pioneer elder who was counseled the same.
