  From the notes of "Incognita"........

  I was doing a little comparing of the New Book "What does the Bible really teach?" and guess what????????????? The chapters are Identical to the Knowledge Book-------------this book was printed in 1995--------so they had to disguise it with a soft cover and change the name for 2005. Our Posters are wondering what the new book contains, well here are a list of the 19 chapters just like in the knowlege book, but worded a little different....................new light------hum-bug.........
  
  
  ------------Chapter 1--WHAT IS THE TRUTH ABOUT GOD?
  2--THE BIBLE-A BOOK FROM GOD
  3--WHAT IS GOD'S PURPOSE FOR THE EARTH?
  4--WHO IS JESUS CHRIST?
  5--THE RANSOM--GOD'S GREATEST GIFT
  6--WHERE ARE THE DEAD?
  7--REAL HOPE FOR YOUR LOVED ONES WHO HAVE DIED
  8--WHAT IS GOD'S KINGDOM?
  9--ARE WE LIVING IN 'THE LAST DAYS'?
  10--SPIRIT CREATURES--HOW THEY AFFECT US
  11--WHY DOES GOD ALLOW SUFFERING?
  12--LIVING IN A WAY THAT PLEASES GOD
  13--A GODLY VIEW OF LIFE
  14--HOW TO MAKE YOUR FAMILY LIFE HAPPY
  15- WORSHIP THAT GOD APPROVES
  16--TAKE YOUR STAND FOR TRUE WORSHIP
  17--DRAW CLOSE TO GOD IN PRAYER
  18--BAPTISM AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
  19--REMAIN IN GOD'S LOVE
  
  So it is clear the Witnesses have been duped again---that which is old will be called new................what a joke.
  
  These are the same chapters in the Knowledge book, just placed different in the new book................please share this for all to see...............

  Is it possible that they have decided that the Knowledge book was too "advanced" for newly interested ones (TM) and they have now dumbed it down even more? Or is there some subtle doctrinal change? Either way, that's just scary...

  Its a sure sign that sales are down. They've repackaged an old product and made a must have item out of it. I'd be very interested in comparing the wording in the Knowless book and this new thing.

  But I'm almost tempted to read it in search of "new light."

  It just means they can print and deliver but they can't write.

  That settles it. I'm going to an out-of-state DC so I can get some of this 'New LIght' shoved up me arse. Maybe it will detect some ingrown apostate polyps.

  Their inspiration is drying away fast nothing new is coming up, what's happened to the spirit annointing and all the visions and prophecies from the sole channel?

  Same as the old "Blue Bomb," The Truth Book.

  Maybe this'll be it from now on. A new tract a year, Watchtower magazine and Kingdom Ministry once a month, 1 bound volume a year, a Yearbook, a reprint of an old recruiting book deleting past failed promises, and a new organization book every few years. Each first printing 6 million plus. Everything they do is a guaranteed best seller.
  
  That's still plenty to print and distribute. The real concentration is convention sponsoring and real estate development. The event sponsoring end of the business is formidable in itself with almost 7 million customers to service. The Society's economy and real estate holdings equals a small country. They have a HUGE ball rolling now.
  
  Their struggling days are over. Now they are looking at maintenance and manageable growth. If they get some reasonable minds in management positions to replace the paranoid obedience freaks in there now, they should be fine.
  
  It's interesting to note now that they seem to be virtually abandoning many of their strategies that grew them from under 300,000 associates in 1958 to pushing 7 million now. Maybe the boy who cried wolf isn't selling well in today's market.
  
  Maybe that 1981 purge was more successful than I imagined. They must think it was a good decision to try to repeat it now. 1981 was done totally without the easy communication we now have with the Internet. Maybe that 1981 purge wouldn't have worked so well if we had Internet communication back then. Then we were almost all isolated.
  
  Some like me didn't even know there was anything going on in 1981 until years later.
  
  It's this stuff that make watching this group so much fun for me.
