Perhaps I should be a little more specific. When does an issue of the WT come out to the congregation and than to the unsuspecting door? Since some have seen the July 15th issue and this is just June 18.

How can something be factual if based on a lie? If there is factual evidence why did they have to use an untruth to support their stand? But the truth here is that other site starts off with an untruth that it builds upon lie, which is not unlike what the WTB&TS does. It misuses scripture for its own benefit or twists it or changes it if they can not do one of the other. In the very first Watchtower, Russell states, that a truth said by Satan is still the truth (not an exact quote). That view has permeated the WTB&TS teaches ever since.
The lie is that there was no reason given for why God was displeased with Cain. The scriptures do tell you why. If you want to post the other scriptures we can look at those or give us a site that uses the scriptures properly.

Sorry not everything posted, trying again.
Your link site starts off with a wrong assumption. That is what the WTB&TS does, plants a thought and than builds it to their own liking.
The skeptic?s bible says, God likes Abel's dead animals better than Cain's fruits and vegetables. Why? Well, no reason is given, but it probably has something to do with the amount of pain, blood, and gore involved. 4:3-5
NIV Genesis 4:3-7
3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD . 4 But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.
6 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it."
Cain brought some of the fruits where Abel brought fat portions and the firstborn. Abel gave of his best, where Cain did what he had to. It was not what was given, but how it was given.
In verse 7 God could see that Cain?s heart was intent on sin and it was close by.

my mom (a baptized jw who hasn't been to a meeting willfully in years) commented today on how the birds in the neighborhood have been acting more aggressive lately.
how they've been taunting and divebombing our cat, being loud and obnoxious, etc..(the probable reason for this is that our cat probably killed a baby bird or something).
she said the birds are getting ready to eat animals.
Aren't birds used in other scripture as evil waiting to devour the bad (Matthew 13:4)?

Didn't I read somewhere that October of 2005 is the next unspoken date for Armageddon? Also that they are hedging that date with an additional pointer to 2034?
my mom had her valve replacement and triple by-pass surgery today.
the operation lasted five hours, and they had just gotten her to her room at 8:00pm when she went into cardiac arrest.
the doctor tried everything, even opening up her chest and massaging her heart.
Karen, Sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. Well put you and your family in our prayers.

The problem with an outsider looking at these claims, is that it then becomes difficult to identify who to accuse of the genocide perpetrated on the basis of this belief - a group of men whose ever shifting policies result in the injury and death of hundreds of innocent people, or the God who they claim instructed them to tinker with these important doctrines. The GB seem quite content to blame God for these deaths, but their collective consciences seem unable to grasp the realties of what has really happened here, that is - that they have consistently enforced policies that have killed people and then absolve their own part in these deaths, by passing on the blame to God for instructing them to do it. The specter of Nuremberg rises to haunt them.
Your own insinuation is that God do not instruct them, that it is a false claim. If one acquises another falsely, the acquised should not be held responsible. If you have read Criss of Consience by Fred Franz, you realize that the GB is not blind to where the instruction comes from. They vote on what best serves the WTB&TS and ultimitly them.
