  Watchtower — Put it under a basket!

  Today I uploaded a new article to my blog addressing a conundrum. On one hand Watchtower teaches that its doctrines represent spiritual light, and that spiritual light should not be put under a basket! Yet it appears, on the other hand, that Watchtower does not want all its “spiritual light” put out there for general consumption.

  My article is titled Watchtower — Put it under a basket! and is available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2011/08/watchtower-put-it-under-basket.html

  Yep. Its the same reason the WT won't run infomercials on their product, which could potentially reach billions of people worldwide. Instead they trouble their flock with the busy work of trudging door to door knocking on empty houses on Saturday morning. They don't really want the true essence of their message out, now do they?

  LG,

  If Watchtower wanted to share its doctrines and policies with the masses it would and could do so. But it doesn’t. That speaks for itself.

  On the other hand, it is very telling to see Watchtower telling a “brother” that one of its own doctrines should not become a matter of general discussion among “the brothers”.

  Reminds me of a guy I heard of who told a dub, "The only way you can get light from a Watchtower is to put a match to it!"
