As Fred Franz pointed out [reference needed], before Bibles became part of the package, the corporation was called Zion's Watch Tower Tract Society.

Today's WT study (10/12/14) - a sales seminar!
by OneEyedJoe inthis cult is getting really shameless.
the wt study was always supposed to be for discussion of 'the deep truths' of the bible.
the wt may have always been filled with utter nonsense, but at least it had the appearance of a topical discussion of bible doctrine.

Thank you, AB and Rippy, for good and kind words. You've made my day.
Those words of AD were on Dad's memorial tribute. He was a true and unstinting giver to friend, family, stranger.
Love,

YOUR DAILY JOURNAL
by compound complex indear friends,.
much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.
however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.

Greetings, new hope and happiness:
A belated welcome to the forum. What matters is that you are here and are making an effort to communicate. I am a writer and I do not know how to type (don't let this post fool you). In the old days communication was largely oral, and no one looked at your spelling. Of course, incorrect pronunciation could be an issue.
The fox's advice to the Little Prince:
“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little PrinceLet this "secret" be of encouragement to you.
Best regards.

Thanks, Phizzy, for the back story!
I have to get back to what I only glanced at initially. Yes, too sad and unnecessary.
Best.

Comment from Milton Henschel, IN SEARCH OF CHRISTIAN FREEDOM, p. 232:
"And what will the brothers do if we give them more free time?
Probably use it in watching TV."Ray Franz's Response:
"Whether they consciously think of it in this connection, the men in positions of leadership also know that the Watch Tower organization has produced a publishing empire of tremendous size, one that has taken decades to build up. That publishing system with its large, expensive branch offices and printeries and the impressive, multi-storied dwellings for those operating these, are a source of considerable pride and a frequently cited evidence of divine blessing and prosperity. Any diminishing of the pressure on Witnesses to engage in door-to-door activity with the publications flowing from that system could eventually cause that empire to crumble or require its being largely dismantled. I seriously believe that for many of those in the organizational leadership, the very idea of this is unthinkable."
