  Did you KNOW Ray and Cynthia or the legal copyright holder? Only a few maybe had limited contact.

  i have known all of them over the last 15 years, talked at length with them, and knew what their wishes were, the copyright holder and spouse spent even more time with them socially and helping them set up their arrangements for when ray and cynthia passed.

  i don't believe that anyone else on this board or others was a confidant.

  there is no need to prove it to anyone but the copyright office which is satisfied with this.

  As a last resort, I'd do the same. No matter who owns the copyright.

  Of course you would cappytan. Any person with a strong moral sense to prevent needless death of innocent children and unsuspecting adults would do the same.

  The end justifies the means.

  No, steve2.

  Saving lives justifies breaching copyright of an organization who uses those very copyrights to conceal its misdeeds, which includes responsibility for premature death of countless children.

  Need me to say more? Should I have even needed to say this much!!!?

  Really?

  Does everyone share the same strong conviction over pirated copies of the "Shepherd the Flock" elders' book?

  Not me.

  I'd gladly breach a copyright law to expose an organization responsible to thousands of premature deaths due to an insanely dishonest blood doctrine. And, before you ask, there is no inconsistency in this in my case. I'd be willing to do the same thing in relation to anyone responsible for needless and preventable deaths. It would not matter who or what they are.

  but if legitimate legal downloads had been made available from some time back it would have counteracted the bootleggers need to offer copies, how many times does this need to be repeated, its basic common sense and logic,its like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted and needn't have been like this

  "But if"?

  Nevermind.

  Blondie, I never had a chance to get to know the Dykstras but I knew Ray, and Cynthia to a lesser extent. What you say is true and I second everything else you said. For sure I know this. Ray and Cynthia held the Dykstras in very high regard and trusted them basically with their lives. That's enough for me. Frankly, if the Dykstras made a ton of money off COC I'd feel just fine about it. But I know that's not what they're in this for.

  Witnesses killed my friend today.

  today has been a horrible day.

  what began as a day of joy finding out that one of my lifelong friends had her baby, turned into a nightmare when her brother called me to let me know she had passed away after birth.

  i was in shock and didn't ask how.

  Outrage does not begin to describe the emotion these experiences stir in me. And Watchtower just absolutely does not care. It just does not care.

  The death rate in [Jehovah's Witnesses] was 1 per 1,000 maternities compared with an expected incidence of less than 1 per 100,000 maternities.

  Watchtower has so much innocent blood on its hands. So much!

  so i was thinking the other day that the wt corp has produced thousands of books over the years.

  although the writers have changed the style is almost always the same.

  however, some books are just worse than others.

  Hi Jookbeard,

  I don't know if you were around for the Babylon The Great Has Fallen book (AKA the Babylon book, or as I term it above, the Babbling book), but the Revelation Grand Climax book does hold a candle to it by comparison. That Babbling book was, hands down, the most ridiculous thing ever written. I swear to god whoever was behind that thing had a strong LSD habit. If it makes you feel better, the Babbling book was all about the bible book of Revelation. No surprise then about why each of these book are so stupidly insane, but the Babbling book put more than a few otherwise good men and women into mental shock.
