The same reason Ad agencies put up ads they know will offend, and then quickly pull them once the outrage begins. In a mock "shock, horror we didn't intend to offend anyone" official statement. By then, of course, the objective has been achieved, attention has been directed to the offending ad and the agency comes off as good guy for pulling it.

How do Americans feel about Canadians and Britons interjecting their opinions onto hot localized political topics: gun laws, abortion, ect?
by adjusted knowledge inin addition to the above question, why do citizens of the two above mentioned countries, or other countries, feel the necessity to tell americans how they should interpret the american constitution for localized issues?.
i fairly much have an idea what the general population in the usa feels in regards to the first question.
this could be one of the possible reasons cnn piers morgan poor ratings and eventual firing.

Nu-lite has always been a effective way of culling the undesirables. Which in this case is all the oldies who remember the embarrassing WT sins of days gone by.
Theses changes are the result of design - not accident. The higher-ups that make the decisions know full well that this push to embrace technology will alienate the elderly and the disadvantaged.

Caleb at age 15 - Caleb Struggles with self-pleasuring
Caleb at age 20 - Caleb Learns How to Run Away from Apostates while trolley witnessing.
Caleb at age 25- Caleb says No to getting married in favor of going to Bethel.
