Ozzie,
They seem to make a half-ass attempt to encourage personal Bible reading, but always later on qualify it, by demanding/force feeding the idea; 'the bible alone is not enough...use our publication's to understand, what God is really saying'.
Is it any wonder why individuals, not even qualified for consideration (by Wt standards) as 'Anointed'...go against the prevailing wisdom, and declare themselves as such? Hell, anybody with You Know's sense of 'kingship' would be derilect not to 'claim' such anoiting.
Self deluding and outrageous interpretation's, the legacy of the WTBS...big time.
