Let’s face it the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is a publishing company, and as with any corporation the bottom line is profit.

A Book A Year as a cash flow scheme
by VM44 inwhy does the watchtower release at least one new book each year?
this practice started when judge rutherford was running the watchtower.. even back in the 1930's, when the books were being sold for about 25 cents a copy, a tremendous profit was being made just by the sheer numbers of books produced.
each edition of rutherford's books were printed by the millions!

What proof is there that the JWs were chosen by Jehovah to be His people?
by VM44 inwhat proof is there that the jws were chosen by jehovah to be a "people for his name"?
growth in numbers is not proof, other religions also have displayed such growth over the last 100 years.. material prosperity is not proof as other religions also have considerable wealth, both in cash, property and real estate.. printing the watchtower and awake!
magazines certainly is not proof!.

Strange picture In J W publication
by BluesBrother in.this "new world scene " is from p 190 of the "bible teach " book dated 2005.. it is just a joke.
they have transformed their key belief into a cartoon type kiddies scene.
is there no thought of child safety?

If everything is perfect in their "New System" why would anyone need the protection of an umbrella it is not raining, and I wonder where they bought it. Maybe the owner of Kmart is a Witness and all of the Kmart stores survived.

I don’t post here often and perhaps there is more to this story then I am reading here, but I wanted to add my two cents.
As hard as it may be to comprehend your father is most likely doing this out of love for you. Being a Jehovah's Witness he thinks you will be destroyed at Armageddon and he wants to do what he can to save you.
It is not easy being a Jehovah's Witness parent with children that are non-Jehovah's Witness. Remember the Watchtower is teaching him that all outside the Origination are as dead. It is really hard for a parent to think of their children in this position.
I know it has to be hard for you when he calls but I would image it is very hard for him to make that call.
I am not trying to justify what your father is doing it has to hurt, and it sounds like he could work on his method. I am just trying to present the other side of the story since I was in your father's position before I left the Watchtower.

OK I must admit the paper deal is one I have never thought of!
How many trees have been sacrificed over the last 100 years?
OK so they are not the worst offender but aren’t they part of the problem?

What is the difference between Watchtower RANSOM teaching & other religions
by jwfacts inbarbara anderson made the comment that over the last 2000 years no other religion could be found that had the same understanding of the ransom as the watchtower society.
i thought all religions believe that jesus died for our sins to be forgiven.
what is the difference between the watchtower teaching and that of other christian religions?.

The Watchtower teaches that Jesus death only covered the sins we inherited form Adam while mainstream Christianity teaches that Jesus died for all of our sins, past, present and future.
