Watchtower disinformation starts even before page 1...
by Dead Man Joaquin inthe wt magazine states that it has been "published continuously by jehovah's witnesses since 1879".. .
there were no jehovah's witnesses before 1931. only bible students.. .
you can't even get past the wt's "mission statement" without encountering untruth.. .

The Governing Body: very busy?
by Awakened07 ini have a couple of gb related questions.. in crisis of conscience, ray mentions several times the way decisions are (were?
) made by a voting system.
having been brought up in another country (not us), i was rather surprised at the kinds of things they would decide; ray has a few copies in his book of letters from various congregations, letters that sometimes take up quite personal matters concerning a couple of people in one single congregation, for instance.

dear dr. graham:several years ago we were going through a very rough time, and this religious group came to our door and welcomed us and helped us to get on our feet.
