"Show me one publication were it says we should lie to our studies as a delaying technique?"
When I had questions about the blood issue, early on in my study with the witnesses, I was asked to wait until we came to that subject in the truth book, it would all make sense by then. That was many months latter, after I was softened up, after I did more trusting and less thinking, after my girlfriend was well hooked and knew I would loose a lot by backing out, after I had a lot invested. No it’s not written that I know of, but it sure as hell was practiced on me!
As far as lying, the Watchtower has publications written that promote deception and outright lying. The publication use to prepare for child custody cases, actively promotes deceiving the court to believe that the children have NORMAL goals and aspirations, Not Kingdom related goals that others would find weird.
Becoming a Journalist for example is suggested as a life goal to deceptively tell the court. You don’t become a journalist without a college degree, and everyone knows the societies stand on college. You are sworn to the truth, and the entire truth. This is deception in its most heinous form, using a child to deceive and press their own twisted agenda.
How about the society declaring that you only needed to “tell the truth to those that were deserving of it” . EVERYONE deserves the truth!
How about the lie I was told in my congregation, right from the platform. I was told that literature would now be distributed on a purely donation basis, no set price.
I was told the reason for the change was a “simplification” to make it easier, and also to show how we were so different then other religions who were motivated by profit making.
BUT THAT WAS A LIE!
The real reason for the change was that they (the Watchtower Society) got into bed with Jimmy Swaggart Ministries, worked with them, spent some of my donated money on lawyers to help Swaggart Ministers to fight a tax levy on the sales of religious publications, because they knew they could be next. Swaggart and the Watchtower Society lost the case. That is when the change to donations was made, and that is the reason! Here is the link: http://www.geocities.com/paulblizard/jimmy.html
Yes the Watchtower Lies!
