  Maybe a little off topic but I picked this gem of a quote from from the September 2002 Kingdom Ministry...pay particular attention to the last sarcastic and belittling statement WT makes about using the internet to spread the Word:

  "God’s Appointed Channel: Bear in mind that our heavenly Father has an appointed channel of communication, “the faithful and discreet slave.” That “slave” has the responsibility to determine what information is made available to the household of faith, as well as “the proper time” for it to be dispensed. This spiritual food is available only through the theocratic organization. We should always look to God’s appointed channel for reliable information, not to a network of Internet users."

  If WT & their various websites aren't a network of internet users...then...!

  Jeffro: But only the original versions, the revised editions of both can be kept.

  The latest version (2006) is out of circulation. It's just a matter of time before it'll show up on the next go-around of discards. I visited JW online
  under 'Books & Brochures For Bible Study'...there are 116 items listed...absent is the notorious big red...Revelation Climax! The inevitable is around corner for this book...it may have been decided by top brass that it would be too much of a shock to the rank & file after studying it four different times in the Book Study to discard it altogether...its day is coming...if memory serves me right, it's been nearly 12 years since it was last studied!

  Proverbs 12:19 sheds some light on why the WTBTS periodically issues directives to all it's congregations to discard its own printed books & literature:

  "Lies last only a moment, but the truth lasts forever."

  Hundreds of thousands of books were destroyed back in the 80's.

  I think we're underestimating that number a bit. When one takes into account that there are roughly 120,000 congregations worldwide & this directive to destroy literature is being given to each & every congregation that has unplaced stock inventory...if each congregation conservatively discards/trashes just 25 books ...that alone amounts to 3,000,000 individual books...not to mention tracts, brochures, video cassettes & the like.

  That is one hell of a lot of 'Truth' going down the toilet...so to speak...seriously! :) :) :)

  the truth that gives you eternal life was published on watchtower presses, and is not to be confused with the truth that leads to eternal life published by the watchtowerbible and tract society.

  WT"...hundred of thousands" of books that had to be destroyed because they did not agree with the governing body theology. The books were approved and made it all the way to the press, and then all of a sudden, BOOM, they had to be destroyed."

  Yes, Petra ...I remember one such big thick blue book...'Aid To Bible Understanding'...an ole favorite of mine!

  WT must of had tens of thousands of them in stock. Then one day our friend Raymond Franz gets canned by a WT kangaroo court. After Ray's dfing...everything that he had authored or co-authored ended up in the shredder...there had to be hundreds of thousands of different pieces of literature that got trashed.

  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

  Who among the current world leaders has the attention span of a fruit fly?

  Ask former WH adviser John Bolton for the answer!

  Hmmm. I don’t think you understand how the phrase works. In this case YOU are the Karen.

  Sorry MeanMrMustard if I'm having a good time with this thread at your expense. My advice to you ...don't take offense so easily...live a little...laugh...chuckle...it might prevent a stomach ulcer if you don't already have one...Hmmm!
