  Who Will the Circuit Overseers "Report" to Now???

  by RubaDub in

  i still do not understand the new structure at this point.. there has to be something between thousands of co's and the gb.

  i know there were zone overseers that the do's reported to.. i have spoken to a couple of elders i can talk to frankly and they both said they have no idea.. rub a dub.

  New "theocratic history" book for witnesses?

  so i have heard a few of us talking about a newly released book to replace or add to the proclaimers book?.

  is that correct?.

  if so, i wonder how much they have re-written history to cover the real truths?.

  sir82-

  we know the wts will never admit to any wrongdoing or mistakes. This new gb wants to distance itself from past wt history and will continue trying to cover it over. They want to create their own version of jws and bring glory to themselves.

  But United Bible Societies is made up of 146 Bible societies COMBINED!

  The wts is a SINGLE publisher and printer. There is no other SINGLE publishing organization that produces as much literature as watchtower.

  The wts produces more books, magazines, tracts and booklets/brochures than any other religious publishing company and if you include the largest commercial printing companies the wts makes the top 5 in book production and magazine production!

  The largest commercial printing companies such as Qaudgraphics and RR Donnelley print for thousands of different publishing companies, wt only prints for itself.

  It is impressive the UBS translates the Bible into so many languages but none of their 146 societies on a singular basis does as much publishing work as the wts.

  This to me is why the wts printing operations are so impressive. It is a SINGLE publisher/printer producing such vast quantities of literature.

  we found some people who were happy to welcome us into their homes, even offering us food and drink.. sometimes, they would flag us down and ask for the magazines, walk miles to the kh meetings, come to our defense if someone got ugly or rude.. now, jw's are either routinely ignored or outright vilified.. no one respects them anymore.. sad.. .

  Magnum,-

  thanks for your post! Things were so different back then. It truly was a different religion than it is now. I also enjoyed the deep books on prophecy and doctrine. They don't publish books like that anymore as you noted.
