Has anyone actually read the study wt for sun nov 2nd????!!!
by stuckinarut2 ino m g...(yes that is a very childish reaction...but i couldn't think of a more appropriate expression!).
if you haven't yet read it...please do so..... it is so ridiculous!
so leading, so distorted, and full of "bait and switch" techniques.. "prove you have the truth"..by seeing how neutral witnesses were in war times?

tiki- you posted what I always say LOL!
Yes, "True Religion" is an oxymoron!
And yes, the wts acts as if it owns the word "truth". I agree-nobody can own the truth or lose it or leave it or come into it. Its cultspeak!

I AGREE WITH THE JWs: THE 'SOUL' DOESN'T EXIST
by NAVYTOWN ini agree with the witnesses about almost nothing, but i do think they have the right idea when it concerns the 'soul'.
it is my belief that there is no such entity as a 'soul' that resides in a human being.
the idea originated in ancient, pre-scientific eras.

Awake! to be part of Watchtower Public Edition!
by Atlantis inthis was posted on a jw site and it would be nice if we could verify.. .. .. as of february 2015, the awake!
will come as a part of the watchtower public edition instead of as a separate magazine.
this is a huge change... with serious cost savings.

I was thinking too that they may publish JW.org Monthly, as a 32 page magazine instead of the public w and the g.
But The w is their flagship title, although they could still publish the study edition, the thing is, "JW.org" may not appeal as much to the public, it sounds too jw inclusive. Of course they could publish articles about the GB and each issue the cover could feature a gb member LOL!
JW.Org may not work well as a magazine name for the public.
And the w & g have very long histories.
JW.org. monthly seems like it would be a magazine for witnesses only.

The Watchtower does have the highest printing of all magazines followed by Awake!, yes.
What is wrong with Stephen Lett? Does he have a nuerological problem? Aren't they embaressed by him? I would not want the public to see him giving any talks, much less let them know he represents the gb and wts.
But as we all already know, the gb are strange.

The only reason the g is inserted into the w for shipping is because they are 16 page, not 32 page magazines. It is easier to do it this way.
Yes, the content is nothing compared to what once was, but with the huge volume of individual issues reaching so many people ,some are bound to become witnesses.
That is all the gb cares about, cut costs with thinner magazines but reach more people ,thus increasing the chance to ensnare more people in the cult.

They will always need literature to offer door to door and with the huge volume that they distribute it increases the chances that some will read it and become witnesses, that is the gb's goal.

The printing for Awake! also went way up, it is now 51,788,000 copies per issue in 101 languages. Thus each month well over 121 million w&g magazines are being printed with more than 1.4 billion printed during the 2014 service year, the most ever.
Looks like the printing of the magazines will be increasing each year for the forseable future.
