I'll be calling the ARC today to make them aware of this appalling method the society is using to "make available" the document!

Welcome!
Yes, finding out The Truth About The Truth is something that happens as our eyes are opened to facts about the religion we once held dear.
Just keep researching! With such research comes awareness.
Yes, it can be both daunting and overwhelming to have our whole faith structure torn down, but ask yourself, 'what value do I put on accurate knowledge?'

How deep is the rot?
by JeffT inby now it seems obvious that the gb and other leaders of the wtbs are corrupt.
the pedo scandal and various financial schemes are sustained by either lack of concern or greed at the top.
my question is how far down the food chain does this go?

Great thread and comments!
I genuinely think most jws believe 100% in the faith, but those that do have doubts, or see the facts for what they are, think that they are personally at fault.
Just like the fable of the "emperors new clothes" (google it if you have not heard of it), no one who sees the reality is confident to actually speak up! With everyone and everything around them constantly ooohing and ahhhing about the "truth", very few will dissent.

Unbelievable!
I agree with what jwfacts said above!
And, isn't it amazing that it only happened as a result of "satan's world" making them do it!

NWT is the finest translation of the Bible available to mankind. WTF
by Buster k inthis nugget of spiritual bullcrap is in there 2014 yearbook on page 4. .
paragraph 2. early in this service year, at the annual meeting of the watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, the new world bible translation committee released the newly revised english edition of the finest translation of the bible available to mankind.
jehovah used his own spirit-begotten sons to provide the original new world translation.

The irony is that the Society demands of witnesses that they don't work certain times....or face threats of judgement. When the shoe is on the other foot, witnesses claim harassment!

Very odd that they would stay for that long and interact with you once they knew you were DF....
Usually that would be enough to send them running....

The Field Ministry Experience I Would Love to See
by xjwsrock inimagine this exchange in the door-to-door ministry:.
.... jw: hello my name is tom, i'm with a group stopping by briefly.... householder: i'm sorry let me interrupt you right there... i know all about you people.. jw: oh really... what do you mean?.
householder: you are that wierdo cult that believes in all sorts of delusional tripe... how can you let them con you like that?.

That is about right...
Those within a cult can not see the reality unless a comparison is made with a different cult. Even then, some will choose to remain blind.

1974 Special Meetings
by NeonMadman inas we all know, armageddon was just around the corner in 1974. at the district conventions that year, it was announced that there would be two special meetings during the month of september; one would be for interested people (e.g., bible studies, family members, inactive, etc.
), and the other would be for baptized publishers.
these were to be held in place of the service meetings for the two weeks, iirc.
