It's a legal issue. The WTS doesn't want to get charged for preaching in countries where it is banned.
How could they be "charged" for anything individuals do on the internet?
Can you explain how that make work? How could that cause them any problems?

Nice catch Cappytan!
Whaddya' expect from when a bunch of uneducated yahoos try to "school" the world on things they neither know about nor understand?
We gotta' call them out on stuff like this every time because it really proves they are not representing God.

the following is a watchtower's criticism against newton:.
down through the ages, talented scientists have indeed made surprising breakthroughs in their search for answers to puzzling questions about nature.
some, however, have also made serious errors in the process.
Newton was leaving the cave of ignorance. He actually discovered some real "new light."
WT leaders fear the light and prefer to remain in the mental darkness of their deep, profound ignorance.
someone may have linked to this already, but the this interactive page in the pew religion study is pretty interesting, especially when you look at the trends for jw between 2007 and 2014. here's what it shows:.
jws are increasingly non-white.
in fact, the percentage of white jws has decreased from 2007 to 2014 by 12%, while hispanic jws have increased by 8%.

There is another thread about it, but I like that you posted a pic of the article.
It's just more control-freakery from the delusionally self-important Gibbering Boneheads.
Let's review: It's a cult!
ok, so i only read the wt study articles to keep up with the indoctrination that my two "still-in" children are being subjected to.
when i read this in today's wt i nearly blew a gasket: .
[naboth] held to jehovahs law in the face of horrific abuse of power.
i've just signed up two days ago, but i've been lurking for about a year and a half.
here's my story if you're interested:.
my parents converted when they were in their first semester of college.
Hi MB, welcome!
You've gone through an incredibly painful experience. And yet you have already begun the hard work to become yourself.
You don't need me or anyone else to tell you that you still have some tough times ahead, but persevere and you can accomplish great things!
Welcome to the rest of your life.

there is a huge difference between been religious and been spiritual.
been religious is about been superior to others in the sight of god.
however, been spiritual is about self awareness, inner peace and unity with the natural world.

BTW, don't forget Jesus also said this, "You are my friends if you do what I command." - John 15:14
That's where the control freakery started with his little cult.
