Just one quote from the brochure which appears on the 2001 CD Watchtower library, what do you notice...?
Jehovah?s Witnesses are interested in you and your welfare. They want to be your friends and to tell you more about themselves, their beliefs, their organization, and how they feel about people and the world in which all of us live. To accomplish this purpose, they have prepared this brochure for you.
In most ways Jehovah?s Witnesses are like everyone else. They have their problems?economic, physical, emotional. They make mistakes at times, for they are not perfect, inspired, or infallible. But they try to learn from their experiences and diligently study the Bible to make needed corrections. They have made a dedication to God to do his will, and they apply themselves to fulfill this dedication. In all their activities they seek guidance from God?s Word and his holy spirit.
It is of vital importance to them that their beliefs be based on the Bible and not on mere human speculations or religious creeds. They feel as did the apostle Paul when he expressed himself under inspiration: "Let God be found true, though every man be found a liar." (Romans 3:4, New World Translation) When it comes to teachings offered as Biblical truth, they strongly endorse the course followed by the Beroeans when they heard the apostle Paul preach: "They received the word with the greatest eagerness of mind, carefully examining the Scriptures daily as to whether these things were so." (Acts 17:11) Jehovah?s Witnesses believe that all religious teachings should be subjected to this test of agreement with the Scriptures, whether the teaching is offered by them or by someone else. They invite you?urge you?to do this in your discussions with them.
The reason I looked at this brochure is it also praises the technology used in their preaching - evidence of the witnesses love / hate relationship with technology. But reading the whole brochure, I was amazed at how differently it was written from their many other literature. Here they are saying "here we are - we make mistakes." A very unusual statement from the borg. The brochure, yellow coloured and in magazine footprint was taken out of print shortly after publication and I was suprised to see it in the CD library.
