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.

Being a JW Used to Be Fun :-)
by snowbird inwe 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.

I am interested in reading that. Does it discuss the expansion of the printing operations in Brooklyn, Wallkill & the branches and include photos?
Thanks!

snowbird- I'm sorry my post almost made you cry.
It is sad though that what we thought was the truth and that we were part of God's organization and the security it gave us, was in fact just another made up religion.
And we can't go back even if we wanted to. THAT religion is gone. What passes for it now is nothing like it used to be.
Reading the posts, so many had good times as witnesses-it was not all bad.
I remember the cheese danishes and pudding cups! And the REAL food at the circuit assemblies! When they used to prepare the food in the kitchen at the assembly hall.
The cake nights after the book study. There WERE good times.
The jw religion now is horrible, run by egotistical, control freaks.
But it was nice, at a time long ago.
