  My Letter To the Watchtower

  by AiAi in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is an exact copy of my letter to the watchtower.

  it never recieved a reply (i did not include 'attn writing committee' in the address however).

  please keep in mind that when i wrote this i had just started my intensive research into their beliefs/history, and despite my agressive tone i really did expect a satisfactory answer.

  Doug, thanks for the information and the PDF. Interesting, but not surprising. The typical JW bound to WT rules and regulations about not studying outside of WT publications would never know anything about this.

  BluesBrother thank you. Someone suggested that issue in relation to my research. Apparently they were wrong then.

  Thanks again,

  1976 Questions By Jehovah's Witnesses

  by cabasilas in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  back in 1976 a network of jws began discussions on some subjects and were surprised their questions about the wt society were similar.

  they sent out thousands of copies of a 20 page letter to kingdom halls in several countries.

  i remember hearing about it from a couple of elders when it happened.

  Thank you for the link to the download for this document. I recall something like this getting distributed. The one I got was not as thorough as this one but I remember it was one of the documents that helped me to wake up and "see the light".

  Thanks again.

  Reference to not mentioning GB in reports

  by bibleresearcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i think my previous username was "tfjw" but i had to get a new account.. .

  anyway, i'm doing some research on judicial cases, how they are handled, the use of the secret "flock" book (pay attention to yourselves and to all the flock) and other related topics.

  i'm trying desperately to find the quote referring to the elders where they are not to mention the governing body or the society, as it may be, in certain reports.

  Yes, it helps to disassociate the Society, its legal dept and other entities from the decisions being made. Some of this was taking place when I was in the Organization several years ago, but not to such an extent as it is today. Back then it was basically when the elders would have a meeting with the CO or whatever he was called back then in the 1970's and 80's, and the elders were "updated" on matters from the Society. "The Society says", "the Governing Body says", etc. but there was usually no clear, written text with the Society's letter head. Thanks again.

  Thank you for checking. I saw this thread concerning a scanned copy of the 2005 Flock book with notes/updates but the link for download is no longer available as the thread is quite old.

  Again, thank you.

  Hello all, it's been a while since I was on here. I think my previous username was "tfjw" but I had to get a new account.

  Anyway, I'm doing some research on judicial cases, how they are handled, the use of the secret "Flock" book (Pay Attention to Yourselves and to All the Flock) and other related topics. I'm trying desperately to find the quote referring to the elders where they are not to mention the governing body or the Society, as it may be, in certain reports. I'm hoping someone will know which one I'm referring to. I checked the 2001 Flock book but was unable to find that direct quote. Anyone know about this? Perhaps it was a letter?

  Thank you in advance,

  Stephen
