Will there be penalties for giving the wrong magazines to the wrong type of people?
Yes, and these are the conditions:
1. You have to turn yourself in.
2. The penalty will vary depending on the collective reading level of your particular body of elders.
that way, for the public they'll get the basics to read, rather than the meat which they won't understand. "
If you won't understand ... why join anyway?

I wonder why Jesus didn't do that then? He spoke to the crowds openly. Surprised he didn't have private meetings to explain the 'meat'. What arrogance. Maybe they should have a private Bible too that explains things others can't see there? Oh wait, they already did that. Silly me.

Isn't the Bible's "meat" availible to the public?
Good answer.

Woops, sorry to burst your bubble, but JWs will reply "Oh yes he did. He spoke to the crowds by illustrations, but only explained the meaning to the disciples who stuck around to ask him about it later."
I expect there will be a a WT or KM article explaining just that point in the near future.
Just tell the nitwits the truth and get it over with. "I don't believe in that drabble. My brain finally switched on full blast. How about you?"
So I am taking suggestions of how I should respond back to this person.
You could say, "I think it is a great idea also. I was wondering how to explain the new generation change to people in service from being people that would not pass off the scene until armagedon, to the contemporaries alive at the time that armageddon comes, to only the annointed. How would you have explained it?"
Then sit back and watch for sweating and ums.......
Thank you Quandry. Nows lets see what I get back in email.
