    Browsing through the Watchtower of 1st November and I was reading the story of Russell Kurzen. On page 23, there's a picture of him with Albert Schroeder, Eduardo Keller and Fred Franz.

    Your thoughts on this plz - is it a softening of attitude ? I would have thought it (policy wise) would have been inappropriate for them to, in a sense, acknowledge Mr Franz as a 'brother'. Am I being cynical in thinking that, with digital technology, the picture could have been revised, as is so with many other aspects of Watchtower history ?

    You must be thinking of Ray Franz, the nice guy who was shafted by the society. Fred Franz, his Uncle, was the DipFuck responsible for most of the doctrinal sewage the society currently finds themselves trying to slosh through, including the blood issue.

    Freddie was the society's "oracle" for nearly 80 years, yet not ONE of his many books is still in print. Same with Rutherford before him and Russell before him.

    One cannot continue to sell books unless new garbage is issued to replace old garbage. People get wise to the old garbage and it no longer sells, but for some strange reason they just keep coming back for new garbage. For the life of me, I cannot understand why.

    Hello Farkel,

    a very good answer:

    "One cannot continue to sell books unless new garbage is issued to replace old garbage. People get wise to the old garbage and it no longer sells, but for some strange reason they just keep coming back for new garbage. "
