Can you briefly sum up the teachings of the wtbts?

eg "Boo" or "God is actually an asshole, this way out"

In order of implied importance:

Pay us lots of donations for the free literature
Spend all your free time reading or selling it
Do what we say and you might live forever
Stand out in every way possible, esp. Re: Holidays
Be scared because God is a coming
The bible is good, but our literature is better
Wait on God because everything will all be alright in the end
God's name is Jehovah so your religion must have his name
Jesus is a nice angel, who hangs out with God
Jesus did some nice things on earth, so we can live there
All bad things are because of the bad angel Satan
Repeat the above 1000 times, or until fully indoctrinated

Recent literature shows that 1914, Blood, 144,000, etc. are now no longer doctrines that require to be understood before baptism (albeit still mortally binding). Please form an orderly queue for bible studies.

Added to the above:

Shut up and don't ask questions.

Asking questions is questioning the organization, which is to question God.

Don't engage in independant thinking because it might lead to asking questions.

We have been appointed to think for you, so trust us, for we are thinking persons and know how to think.

If you don't obey orders perfectly, you are DF'd out of our club.

In fact, we can DF you for any reason, at any time, without prior notification.

God rules from the top down, the GB is near the top and the rank and file are on the very bottom.

everything we say is from God. anything wrong we may say is because we are all imperfect. since everything we say is from God, do as we say and even if we, as imperfect humans are wrong, whatever you do, you are doing God's will.

Jesika

I couldn't have put it any better than Spice did.

There are only two rules:

1. The Governing Body is always right.

2. If the governing body is wrong, see Rule Number 1.
