    I looked but couldn't find any posts that addressed this.

    My JW wife came home from service meeting the other night and said something about there being a new arrangement. That there will in the future be two versions of the Craptower. One for dubs and one for outsiders.

    Has anyone else heard this?
    Very cultish if true and kind of scary IMO.

    As from January 2008 there will be two versions of the Watchtower.

    The 1st of each month issue will be for the Public which will contain the usual stuff aimed at them. But will contain no study articles.

    The 15th of the month issue will contain the study articles and other "deep" stuff for baptised JW's only.

    Could it be that they have been embarassed in the past about what they teach their own people.

    This has been thoroughly discusses. Here's one link:

    Thanks

    I had totally missed this.

    Clearly it is a method of giving the public a lovely doctored version and giving only JWs the hardcore cult crap.

    And I can't wait to see how they are going to use this to their advantage. It remains to be seen what rules they are going to invent, new problems they are going to create, and how Blondie is going to get hold of the study articles to continue the Comments You Will Not Hear at the Watchtower Study.

    Sounds a lot to me like the Scientologists not disclosing their full beliefs to members until they reach certain 'levels' of understanding.
