    Searcher very kindly sent me a CD of all the 2003 WT publications.

    The Dec 15 WT featured an index of all of last years study articles. When I looked through the list I was somewhat taken aback!

    Here's the list of 2003 study articles, see if you also spot what, to me anyway, is an amazing admission of what the WT is not all about:

    It can't. That is one of the more obvious signs hiding in plain sight those in the organization rarely see.

    They mention how important Jesus is from time to time, but really, they do abhore him apparently, for in one year, they devoted two whole articles to him in all of their publications . . . ?

    Yikes! Kids, get away from the sister in the polyester flowered dress and bookbag. She has an arm-full of poison.

    4 articles about the bible and Jesus and more than 10 about the organization. I asked my mom why was that so and she told me "You've been talking to those apostates again?"

    Only two article about Jesus (and NO publications that even mention his name in their titles in over 100 years) and only two articles about the Bible in one entire YEAR!

    This indisputable fact proves with utter certainty that Jehovah's Witnesses are a Christian Bible-Based(tm) faith. But only in moderation!
