Re: Adjusted format of The Watchtower
Dear Brothers:
The year 2006 saw a major change in publishing the Awake! magazine. In January of that year the magazine became monthly instead of semimonthly and the contents were given a more Scriptural slant than previously. In the months since then, Jehovah's blessing has been seen on the arrangement and the circulation of Awake! continues to increase.
Now, we are pleased to announce that the Governing Body has approved changes to the format of The Watchtower. The Watchtower will continue to be published semimonthly, but it will have two different editions. In the issue that is dated the 1st of each month, all the material will be directed to the public. It will have no study articles. That issue will be known as the public edition. The Watchtower that is dated the 15th of each month will be solely for the Christian brotherhood. It will not be offered to the public. It will contain all the study articles for one month and secondary articles that are appropriate for dedicated servants of Jehovah. That edition will be known as the study edition.
The advantages of this change will be quickly evident. At the moment, each issue of The Watchtower contains material both for the public and the brotherhood. So, even in the study articles, we have to explain terms like "pioneer" in ways that the public can understand. After this new arrangement goes into effect, everything in the study edition will be expressly for dedicated individuals and Bible students who are making spiritual progress. Hence, information can be more pointed and more beneficial. Material in the public edition will be designed to educate the public. That does not mean that we as dedicated Christians will not enjoy reading the information. But the information published will be of such a nature that a non-Witness will be able to read the magazine from cover to cover without encountering material that has been especially prepared for Jehovah's Witnesses.
An additional advantage of this new arrangement , is that each month we will offer in the field service just one Watchtower with one Awake! Thus, we will not have to adjust our presentation halfway through the month in order to accommodate the latest issue of The Watchtower.
This new arrangement for publishing The Watchtower will take effect in January 2008. Hence, the January 1, 2008, Watchtower will be a public edition and the January 15, 2008, Watchtower will be a study edition.
We pray that Jehovah's rich blessing will be on this new arrangement with The Watchtower just as it has been on Awake!
Your brothers,
Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses
PS to presiding overseer:
Please arrange for this letter to be read to the congregation at the first Service Meeting after its receipt. Thereafter, it should be posted on the information boardI just realized that the masters of the 'loaded language' have taken yet another opportunity to spew forth their subliminal messaging. Clearly the Kool Aid edition will be for only DEADICATED SERVANTS OF JEHOVAH !!!! Lets decipher that 'loaded language' phrase. To be dedicated means to be BAPTIZED!!. Holy crap batman, the WTS is pushing Baptism. This means that a non-baptized member does not have the right to read the Kool-Aid edition!!!. Further the letter states that the Kool-Aid edition will be especially prepared for Jehovah's Witnesses
Oh how true!!

The GB is a cloaking device for the FDS
by cultswatter ini spent my first 25 years in the jws and could never figure out who the fds was.
today it was bugging me - why can't i relate to the fds even though i now know it is nonsense, but even more important, why can't jws understand who the fds really is?.
let's look at some facts.

I used to think that the GB were the real power brokers. Of course I was mislead which was the very intent of the FDS. Let's look at this power structure. It can be proven that the FDS OWNS the GB. Look at these watchtower quotes
WT April 1st 2007 page 28, paragraph 11
Today, Jesus directs us by means of "the faithful and discreet slave," represented by its Governing Body and the appointed elders.
WT April 1st 2007 page 30, paragraph 16
At times, an elder may not do things as directed by the faithful slave class and its Governing Body.
Notice the word "its" here conveys the meaning of ownership. This puts the FDS higher up on the power structure ladder than the GB. It is not hard to see that the GB is therefore the public relations manager for the FDS. That is why the FDS seems so apparently invisible but all powerful. The Jehovahs Witnesses know the FDS is very active as they have the ability to receive messages from the heavenly communication channel yet they are ignorant to just who is hiding behing the title of "FDS" and will remain ignorant for as long as the FDS promotes this deliberate deception.

Let's look at some facts. The FDS (faithfull and discrete slave) are a REAL body of men. Can we prove this - yes. It is not simply a case of finding out who these men are although with a search of corporate records we could find their names if we want to. Why is it so difficult to identify who these men are? The answer to that is that these men(FDS) DO NOT WISH TO BE IDENTIFIED. In the early days of the Watchtower the FDS wished to become anonymous as it was figured they could benefit from such an arrangement. This endeavour to become anonymous resulted in the formation of the GB (governing body).
In timely fashion, the governing body could function as a real body of men that Jehovah's Witnesse could actually relate to. Now this governing body could act as an intermediate between the Jehovah's Witnesses and the FDS, thus hiding or cloaking the FDS. Now the FDS could function as an anonymous entity. The Jehovah's Witnesses could now perceive the FDS as something intangible and unexplainable with the connection to something Holy from Jehovah's Temple. In fact the FDS refers to itself as the holy temple class (WT April 1st - 07). So now the power brokers (FDS) could operate almost invisibly behind the scenes(Wizard of OZ) and dictate just about any directive via the governing body and ultimately to the Jehovah's Witnesses.

Let's assign a number to the Great Crowd!
by Nathan Natas ina great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne..." -- revelation 7:9. .
from studies in the scriptures, volume 7, the finished mystery: .
the math is indisputable: 144,000 "priests" x 2,860 levites per priest = 411,840,000 "levites.
