I also do not believe that Jonsson's treatise was significant and that its impact upon the brothers is somewhat exaggerated

the man was dfed- i guess it was not so signficant- just think if this poster were to be found out by his CO merely having a copy of this published work he too would risk being DFed so much for not being significant i guess
I have to agree with JT (And by extension, Leolaia too)
The average rank and file JW usually does not have any idea as to the timing and reasons of articles appearing in JW literature.
The JW organization, for example, lost ground with many in the medical profession a few years ago when several articles critical of the JW blood policy appeared in professional journals. Much private discussion ensued and one of the things pointed out was that JW literature in the past has portrayed medical professionals who attempt to administer blood products as "Agents of Satan."
The JW organization in short order, began to publish articles praising medical professionals. One article in particular extolled the virtues of the nursing profession.
The average JW had and still has no idea why those articles were suddenly published.
I tend to agree with Leolaia. Thanks for posting your work and conclusions.

i recall talking to a CO who has a bro in the Writing dept and he had mentioned that to us in a elders meeting that the wt realizes that it has to be more diplomatic today unlike in the old days when they dogged everyone and everything
one of the best examples of this that we all can relate to is the 10years of WONDERFUL PRAISE ARTICLES TO THE UN we had no idea that in order to maintain thier status they had to allow the BEAST TO APPROVE OF THIER ARTICLES
this is why the net is so important to folks for it truly allows the avg jw who due to no fault of his or her own simply don't have access to this type of inside information-
Leon Weaver has a phrase he always used in the service dept, "ON A NEED TO KNOW BASIS"
and that statement pretty much sums up the mindset that the players at bethel have toward the rank and file
child molestation is another example OF NEED TO KNOW BASIS even though this guy is playing with your kids after school the elders can;t tell you that since it is in his letter of introduction from his last hall
you got to love it
JT,please explain about that Serpent comminicating with Eve,what did they say?
Really fascinating stuff here. I liked JT's post about the QFR article. I had to laugh at loud, though - body language? Are you kidding me? They must have hated Franz for that one! ;-)
