2 Tier Watchtower Publications- 1) For Regulars and 2) For Door-to-Door

by dreamgolfer in

folks, i dont post much although i have been raised a jw all my life.. it has been awhile since this begain to bother me but i have to ask...what is the true story of why the wtbts created a 2nd edition for wt magazine placement purposes only?

i have been puzzled but can only suppose the reasons, costs, control, etc...but truly did they think that when ct russell started the magazine it was for all to read, not published for a "select few" and if you come regular to the meetings we'll get you the "real issue" with real articles?.

i know this has probably been discussed over and over, but please humor me and tell me how they can with a straight face "they" think this was "ok" to publish in this manner.. this alone smacks of hypocrasy, as it was not the intention of the faithful slave to do such a thing when jesus put control on earth in ct's hands, funny how that works out.

4 years inactive....elders didn't know i was alive. had a big blow-out with mom in 1978 for which she used the elders to reign me in...

Didn't work, by then I had no use for the WTBTS. Elders stalked me coming home one day, 3 elders standing at my door issuing D'FING threats.

I'm not one to succumb to threats....and not from these inepts anyway. I ABRUPTLY ended the exchange closing the door in their faces. I was told the d'f announcement was made and no one knew who the hell I was......what a laugh. About 6 years or more ago, mom said that one of the same elders wanted to speak with, well, I said I had some things I wanted to express as well, but mom didn't like the tone in my voice......still no word [ya' think?] [roflmao]

DMCA Complaint from The WatchTower for links to KS-10 'Shepherding' book

by Simon in

yes, that's right, they really do not like people being able to read that book so they wanted links to it removed (it appears they have also been going after the hosts of the content itself as well).. unfortunately, i had to removed the links (which were dead anyway when i checked) and i'd ask that people don't re-post them (sorry).

i'm sure there are lots of alternative ways for those with the information to get it to those who need it.. here are the discussions on the book:.

Reading it now. Just got through reading WTBS definition of "brazen", the thing is they spun the negative aspects of this word to fit their "agenda", and

that's a big part of how they operate...............rock220

What's The Watchtower So Paranoid About Anyway?

by minimus in

jw
friends

so, you see a hidden book (in this internet age), so you view a "confidential" letter, so you record a meeting?.

the watchtower thinks they are entrusted with special communication that ultimately comes from god.

only special ones can be privy to the inner most holy of the watchtower society.. they obviously feel they have been enlightened by god & his governing body to demand whatever allegiance they feel is deserved.. yet, quite simply, they are full of shit.
