With so much being said about the JWs shunning policies again at the present time I thought it would be worth reposting this article.

Can I ask please if you are writing a book and using this forum as a testing platform?
It's simply the length of all of your answers and where you have opened posts with questions that resemble university essays.
I have to be honest, I lose interest in reading most of them halfway through as they just go on and on and on.
When I was in the JW organisation I found that was the way the elders tried to force through a contentious belief by swamping students with a tidal wave of references and so-called proof points. I guess it might have worked for some of the newbies, but I just switched off, and turned my attention elsewhere.

The witnesses used to ridicule the church services for their scripted parroting, such as Priest: "The Lord be with you", Congregation: "And with you also."
But when you reflect on the content of any WT or book study they are parroting in a similar manner. True the person answering might put it into their own words but the answer won't deviate from what is printed in the paragraph. Elder reads out printed question, congregant responds with printed answer.

Vidiot, your earlier post above referred to the 70s and 80s.
The WT admitted that they had a problem with child abuse (child molesting) within their ranks back in the 80s.
It was mentioned in passing in their Watchtower magazine of January 1st, 1986, page 13. Interestingly, the opening sentence to paragraph 12 makes reference to "prominent" ones. Clearly these were elders and ministerial servants who were caught on and disfellowshipped, making you wonder how many more weren't caught on and were able to carry on by virtue of their prominence within the congregation or organisation!

Watch Tower is in court all the time. It wins some. It loses others.
We know it costs £££££ to go to court, pay barristers, expert witnesses, etc.
With WTC going to court for so many diverse reasons these days, from challenging laws to defending WT practices and paying out to CSA victims, how much do you think WTC is spending annually on court cases?
Can anybody put a figure on it for us?
