It came out the year I was born. I actually read it cover to cover in 1983 for the "fun" of it. I remember it being a tough read and was classic Fred Franz nuttiness. It was full of types, anti-types and anti-christian propaganda.
It was a work of pure insanity that made you hate Christians, all of them.

Compare Watchtower fantasies with a typical daily devotion by Oswald Chambers, probably the number one devotional book of all time - www.utmost.org
Getting There
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. — Matthew 11:28
Do I want to get to this place of rest? I can, right now. The questions that matter in life are remarkably few, and they are all answered by the words “Come to me.” Not “Do this, don’t do that” but “Come to me.” If I will simply come to Jesus, my life will be brought into accordance with my deepest desires. I will cease sinning, and I will hear the song of the Lord begin.
Have you ever come to Jesus? Watch the stubbornness of your heart. You will do anything besides the simple, childlike thing. But if you want to stop sinning, you must be simple enough to come and commit yourself to what Jesus says. The attitude of coming is one of complete surrender; you let go of everything and commit all to him.
Jesus Christ makes himself the touchstone for our lives. Look at how he uses the word come. At the most unexpected moments, he whispers, “Come to me.” The instant you hear his voice, you are drawn to him, changed by him. Personal contact with Jesus changes everything.
“And I will give you rest.” Jesus isn’t saying that he’ll put you to bed, hold your hand, and sing you to sleep. He’s saying, “I will get you out of bed—out of the inertia and the exhaustion, out of the state of being half dead while you are alive.” He’s saying, “I will fill you with the spirit of life, and you will be sustained by the perfection of vital activity.”
Sometimes we get pathetic; instead of accepting the will of the Lord with confidence, we start talking about “suffering” [enduring] it. Where is the majestic vitality of the Son of God in that?

It's a wonder they didn't choke on those words, That's all they do is sell worldly fantasies that appeal to the flesh. Nothing about becoming justified (declared righteous) before God. Nothing about being adopted into God's family.
It's all about the things in this world you're gonna get if you stick with Watchtower, and not what you've been forgiven.... which is the Christian message.
Their FOMO message is: come get your big timber frame house on a lake next to self-tending vinyards and enjoy the view next to a waterfall. Pure fleshly fantasy. Nothing about relationship with God. It is sooo Satanic. -

Where is Tony?
by Athanasius inon february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.
in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

I have driven by his house on my monthly trips to the tractor supply and his Cadillac has been in the exact same spot and there is a lawn chair that remains consistently up against the front door.
"Hey, Have youz guys seen Fat Tony"? "No, we ain't seen 'em. Maybe he had an unfortunate accident or sumtin".
Time and unforseen occurrances befall us all.

I believe Tony is doing just fine.
MCallum Single Malt Scotch Whiskey now comes stored in Sherry Oak Casks which give it a fantastic undertone which blends well with Scotch.
On second thought, It might not be a bad idea for him to check those liver enzymns.

It's a fulfillment of bible prophecy! The Water$ of Babylon are drying up. Sometimes people are just so gullible that the State has to step in and provide a little leadership here. We'll see if this catches on. I believe it will.

Charles T Russell -a freemason and the connection to the illuminati...
by dolphman inok, i'm not one for conspiracy theories but lately i've uncovered some interesting facts that i think warrant some attention.. first of all, russell was a freemason.
all the early watchtower and books he authored have freemason symbology and art throughout them.
not a big deal i thought, until i read more about freemasons and the so-called "illuminati", a group of 13 families that supposedly control the world.. supposedly these 13 families, such as the duponts, mcdonalds, kennedys, .

What does Charles Russell have to do with Jehovah's Witnesses?
He was THE FOUNDER OF MOST OF THE HERESIES, including the two-salvation system - one free salvation with the new covenant, and one without it, not free - you have to work for it. .
