He wrote a couple of short books, I think, one titled something like “What Really Happened at Bethel?” And “Thus Saith The Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses”. The second seems to still be for sale, but I can’t find the first. Did I imagine it? He also published a newsletter about JWs for a while. I can’t remember the name of that either. I think a lot of the website content was first issued in the newsletter. It would be good to have all these items in an archive. Maybe Atlantis has already done it but don’t want to presume Atlantis has to do all the work all the time.

Researching published JW content is now hindered
by neat blue dog inthe recent topic by comingoutamycage about the amount of words published by jws decreasing reminded me:.
jws are now publishing more video content than printed content.
all the printed content up until now has either officially or unofficially been made available in digital format with the ability to search for keywords, which removed a layer of control and allows us to instantly find any references to, say, 1975 or "this generation".

A reasonable hypothesis might be that they were a bit flummoxed what to write after the 1975 prediction failed, so they scaled back their output. Fred Franz in particular might have decreased his written output after 1975, due the failed prophecy and due to old age. Arguably Watchtower output stabilised from 1984 onward, just as their growth numbers began to tick up again, they adjusted following the prophecy failure, and writers such as Harry Peloyan, Lloyd Barry, and Jack Barr came to the fore.

Boris Johnson currently doing Lloyd Evans in the UK. Will not accept responsibility and will not resign under any circumstances even if he ends up all by himself in the bunker. It’s psychotic at this stage.

To be fair, should add the words in video output, if that’s not included.

It’s completely pointless for me to click the like buttons at all because for some reason my likes were disabled sometime back in 2014 or thereabouts 😉

I think they are frustrated that online donations mean that it is difficult now for them to track exactly what each congregation is contributing. Maybe this is an attempt to regain some control over information about which congregations are contributing less money than others. Because in the past circuit overseers could see exactly how much the congregation was contributing and address the issue with the elders. But now the elders could truthfully say, “in this congregation the publishers donate online, so we can’t know how much they are donating”. Even if the circuit overseer or the branch suspects that a congregation is not pulling its weight, as they see it, it may be more difficult to identity these days.

The Morning Star was given me last year - 'hidden manna' now available for your review
by JohnRossStar inhi - quite the introduction, huh?
so the 'morning star' is christ himself and he has guided my thinking and studies to uncover where exactly the wtb&ts went off track, offending jehovah greatly and causing him to 'abandon his sanctuary'.
i've posted the information on reddit jwexwatchtower - please study the articles carefully and put them to the test versus scripture.

When I saw the “Morning Star” heading I thought I might open it to read about the imminent collapse of capitalism from a comrade. -

Rates of PIMOs in bethel as apposed to R&F
by joe134cd inwith all the bethel leaks.
i started to think about the levels of pimos with in bethel as apposed to the rank and file.
would there be higher rates of pimos bethel due to seeing the more unsavoury side of it.

Every religion has members who don’t believe. From my experience the numbers of sceptical adherents is probably higher in other religious groups than JWs because it’s easier to be a nominal member of other groups.
