That is the problem with every authoritarian system. This type of system has only one way to manage all it's flaws: tighten the grip! But nothing can be tightened forever and one day the system cracks and then explodes.

How To Properly Interpret The Watchtower Society
by metatron ini have a long history in this cult, at various levels.
a few of you, out there in cyberspace, share a similar experience - but many do not.. i'm going to tell you how to interpret things that happen in the organization, as well as what is written in the magazines.. it's not terribly difficult because they are so reactionary.
a fellow bethelite corrected me on this point when i accused them of being fascists.

Finally, Jesus got it!
by DagothUr inthis is a statement from the article 8/1/1996 questions from readers "since jesus has now been empowered as the one to conquer in gods name, it seems reasonable that his father has told him when the end will come, when he will complete his conquest.. oh, joy, oh, joy!
so the boy finally found out the date of the big a. it certainly seems reasonable!
even jesus gets new light from time to time....

Can We Please Stop Referring To The Simplified English Watchtower A The Dumbed Down Version
by Philadelphia Ponos ini really shouldn't have to say any of this but as someone who is in the process of learning a second language, i can tell that simple language makes things a lot clearer when you are not familiar with the language.
everyone on here started out reading simplified english while they were learning, including you native speakers.
i'm sure no one here was reading on a college level in elementary school.

On the Jdub Talk forum, everyone seems happy with the new version and English is not their second language. Come on, people, the JWs are really reading the simpli...pardon...the dumbed down version! They use it! Just wait until the end of the year. As wasblind said, even the educated dubs will like it because it is easier to study before meetings. Just throw a few glimpses...taa-daaaa, ready for the sunday WT study.

1. I.V. Stalin (my murderer is bigger that all your murderers, eat your hearts out!)
2. Paul aka Saul of Tarsus (I would ask him what underhand interests made him a promoter of Christianity and if he was indeed gay as I suspect)
3. The prophet Muhammad (I would take a photo of him and me kissing while drinking wine and smoking pot and post it on the Internet for all Muslims to see and die of shame)

As The Governing Body Tightens its Grip...
by passwordprotected intwo and a half years ago i predicted that the governing body was going to have to tighten its grip on the rank and file witnesses.. "it's time to get in the compound, brothers and sisters...." it's classic sleight of hand.
distract your audience.
pull off the trick.

That stupid Bible verse about the light that keeps getting brighter really served their purpose well. They can dump anything on the heads of the r&f, they have "biblical support".

I have read all your posts and I have reached a verdict: it's the dumbed down version, no more, no less.
