Sir82 - Thanks for the confirmation on the cancellation.
jefferywhat - Logistics wouldn't be a problem. They can print brochures by the truckload every nanosecond. KOTW brochures are already in all the congregations by now, ready for the campaign. I can't imagine it would be availability, and if it was someone 'evil' in a picture, they would simply change the picture before the next run of the presses. (Or replace their head with an approved one [insert evil Dr. Frankenstein laugh here])
kerj2leev - I'm thinking... BINGO! With the pedophile cover-up and lawsuits, they don't want to appear hypocritical.

If you, dear reader, happen to have a copy of the Keep on the Watch brochure, please open to page 3. Notice right smack dab in the middle of the page, this statement (Why they couldn't use complete sentences, I don't know. Maybe they didn't have time to do more than mere fragments since Armageddon was so very near.):
"Priests sexually exploit young people; church cover-up. Decline in attendance; church buildings sold."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have a few more stories about this publication that are less than flattering, but I have to run errands and don't have time to chat right now. Perhaps this one example will give y'all some matter for discussing how the WTBTS might reword such a section for future reprinting.
Cheers Billyteb

Wow!
That deserves a BTT.

Isn't this the brochure that has the picture of a priest that looks like he's getting a blow job?

Maybe it contains artwork with subliminal messages?

Yeah, I would think that brochure would be sort of a bad offer with brand new NBC pedophile story involving them on the loose.
