For any interested, here is a Wikipedia article on 'water rights' law in the US. As the article shows, there are a lot of factors involved. The complexity of the laws might argue that the document was intended for a particular congregation.

A Salute to Petra/Atlantis
by Slidin Fast inwhilst i have never quite understood whether petra and atlantis are one or multiple entities i recognise the value of their work and web of contacts.
i think it is fair to say that no-one has consistently contributed more solid gold intelligence to this site.
no one has reliably passed on more bomb shells and solid news as well as day to day minutiae.

My wife sometimes gets that way. If the magazine or a meeting part talks about a particular problem in marriage, then, suddenly, we have have that problem. Same way when there is talk of someone who left. The only reason they could have left is the reason the WT gives for those who left.
I have to admit that the WT has become expert on propaganda/brainwashing techniques. They are right up there with the North Koreans.

This one really irritates me. They changed Ephesians 4:8 from “Gifts to men” or “gifts unto men” into “gifts in men”
I have posted about this one here (another site) and in posts 9 & 10 in that same thread. It is one of my 'pet peeve' NWT verses also. I agree that the rendering seems to suit the WT's power structure needs.
Another verse that could be claimed that was distorted by the WT for theological reasons is Rev 1:10. I have a post about it here.
