i find it very strange that they never mentioned what changes were made in the updates, especially when it comes to the publications.

Almost makes a person feel as if they hope you won't notice any changes.

With the technology of today and the control the Watchtower wants to maintain over their members, the Elders are under unbelievable pressure and stress. Is it any wonder the WT is having trouble in finding brothers who want to reach out and take the lead?

Screenshot, good info to keep on hand.

Some Elders I have emailed are more worried about being spied upon by the other Elders in their own congregations.

I think all of us remember the days when we walked on pins and needles.

Good grief! Copy and paste from a Manual? Talk about lazy! I guess that saves them time from putting any real work in their replies to rank & file.

Thanks AJ1

The WT would certainly know who they sent that letter to.

That is a good point because even though there is a Watchtower letter-head, it would appear to be an answer to a question asked about beards.

Thank you!

You are so right! Look at all the stuff they went to in order to find, identify, and close down avoidjw. They sent court orders to Google to get them to comply and give the name, address, and telephone number of Jason.

They tried to get Jason to sign a form, that he would no longer be involved in posting Watchtower literature for a period of 6 years.

Jason told them to forget it, he wasn't signing anything.

The Watchtower thinks they are God, and think they have a right to control peoples lives at a snap of their fingers or an article in their WT magazine.

Here is the BOE they sent out 3 days ago from 2017. Almost exactly one year ago.

By the way - why does this letter look like its been cut apart and pasted to a WT letterhead?

Several Elders who are sending us letters are worried of (tracking codes) in the BOEs and are printing them out and then scanning them. This can make the ink quality weak at times. They believe by doing this a code would be deactivated.

Are you aware that the Watchtower is sending out BOEs from (last year) in order to find out the identity of those posting them?

An Elder and I received a BOE 3 days ago and the BOE was dated from 2017. A full year ago and we already have the BOE in collection.

If you look closely, you can see that some of the text in this BOE was originally in gray boxes. But when the Elder printed and scanned it, the gray box around the text gets weak.

Hope this helps some. Posting BOEs is not as easy as it used to be.

Atlantis!
