so a few months ago, a friend sent me an actual copy of finished mystery which was published in 1917 (not a pdf download... the actual book).
i must say, this was the most disturbing book i have ever had the displeasure of reading.
but i only read it because this was the main publication that was being distributed worldwide when jesus supposedly chose the watchtower in 1918 and i basically wanted to see for myself what jesus saw in the wt that would compel him to choose this religious corporation over all other religious denominations.. anyway, if anyone is interested in knowing the actual contents of this book, here are some bullet points i put together from some of the notes i took as i read the book:.
applehippie, if you ever get the urge to throw something away offer it to us first. Many of us would love to get our hands on such JW "forbidden knowledge".
And for those who want to fall through the rabbit hole here is the link to the PDF version: https://ia700400.us.archive.org/20/items/TheFinishedMystery/1917_The_Finished_Mystery_1918_edition.pdf
i know some jehovah witness that have a yard full of lights, that they put on at night time.
but when xmas comes around they don't light them up!
of course, because they don't want their neighbors to think they believe in xmas.
Hi Drudge. Welcome here. Tell us a little about yourself.
none of my jehovah's witness relatives called to tell me or my family.
just found out this morning.
been reading for about 2 and a half years, thought i would take the plunge and sign up.. my circumstances... i live in uk, serving as ms. i am fully awake.
i can not leave due to family, so just treating the meetings as a bit of a social club.
i would like to give out more details, but i think you all know the drill.. complete disillusionment and i suppose natural curiosity woke me up.. don't know what else to say right now, just hello, and i hope to get to know some of you guys better.

thetruthbr has posted links for this and several other of the new publications.
as an educator, i am very interested in where the society is heading with their alleged "bible education" program.
Steve2:
The current WT leadership are uninspired (in every sense of the word), completely lacking in creativity and clearly without any original ideas of their own.
Gone are the good old days of Freddie Franz. Which makes me wonder, did the quality of their writing go down after his death?

I ran the OP just for the fun of it and this is what I got:
"A grade level (based on the USA education system) is equivalent to the number of years of education a person has had. A score of around 10-12 is roughly the reading level on completion of high school. Text to be read by the general public should aim for a grade level of around 8."
