It isn't just what was written in their literature which condemns them over 1975.
What was said from the platform is just as damning (as demonstrated here).

That surplus paper certainly got put to good use!
One of their business enterprises involved the printing of what now would be described as “soft” pornography - with the intended clientele being members of the armed forces.

Oh yes…… the “Kingdom Farm” in the Brisbane suburb of Oxley. Right adjacent to the military airfield at Archerfield. Canteens operated for servicemen and all that.
Bloody Hell!

Jeffrey Jackson: Too much excitement got in the way for the ''false dates''
by RULES & REGULATIONS inannual meeting 2019—talks and 2020 year textthe governing body members are nothing but a bunch of weasels.
here is a talk by jeffrey jackson on how the governing body ''the slave class'' has remained spiritually awake over 100 years and alerted its members.. he looks back on the ''faithful and discreet slaves'' false dates over the 100 years: '' but at times, we look back over 100 years, and there were times they got excited about a certain year or time, and the end didn't come at that time.''.
he makes the comparison between the ''slave class ( who disappointed others when the end didn't come ) to a barking watchdog ( who in his enthusiasm barks at nothing in the middle of the night and wakes up the owner).

That would be one of the very few times they have taken any responsibility whatsoever for those debacles. Previously, the “rank and file” got the blame for “reading too much in” to what the WTS had said.

When it is all said and done, for most people in this part of the world, Christmas is just another excuse to get on the booze.
ie. Engage in practices which predate Christianity by a long shot.

Talk about man-made rules.
Even in countries such as Papua New Guinea, in which beards are completely acceptable, the JWs maintained this prohibition.

It wasn’t the JWs who invented the idea of a “spiritual paradise” (if not it’s actual wording). Some of the more austere of the “mainstream” churches are quick to cite the “spiritual” benefits - particularly when the material (and other) “blessings” become rather scarce!(This matter is well described by the New Zealand author John A Lee, in his autobiography Children of the Poor. In the southern city of Dunedin, which was established by puritanical Scottish settlers, the Presbyterian Church provided at best miserly material aid to the poor. However, they were always quick to emphasise the “spiritual” benefits that their church provided.) -

Hey! J, is your mate M. still %&#king the XXXX girl???
And back in the day, I used to actually believe that "Our church don't do that sort of thing" - and that it was only hypocrites such as Catholic priests who got up to those sorts of capers.
(Bloody hell, little did I know!)

Jehovah's Witnesses feel that the environment in some universities or similar centers of higher learning can pose moral and spiritual dangers.
While remaining oblivious to the fact that - in this manner, at least - the workplace can be just as hazardous!
