It's part of a larger straw man argument. Another distraction to talk about. When the fonts for the Watchtower were changed some years ago NO mention was made about it! It's just part of their larger "Oh look, we did SO MUCH FOR YOU!" argument.

16Why the need for a new font?
by Splash inso with everything else being dissected, i want to know why it's important to have a font that can be copyrighted?.
the font used is very similar to a number of others, like tahoma, ms sans serif, and arial etc, so what benefit is there to employing (in the loose sense of the word) a team in japan to create a brand new western set of glyphs?.
will this help with their prosecution of those who copy/paste nnwt verses?.

What level of IQ does one have, to beleive " TRUTH " changes. ? or old "Light " old truths " New Light " new truths " ?
by smiddy inokay, i never went to university , or had a college education, though i`m damn sure that "truth" is "truth" and it never changes.. if you" beleived "something was the truth in the past and now found out it was not correct , you cant say it was an" old " truth ,it must have been wrong/false reasoning in the first place......so it was never really the truth.. sure you can be aware of a "new" truth something you never knew beforehand , though whether you knew it or not ,it has always been a truth.
example:the earth was the centre of the universe ,beleived as a truth.........that beleif was false , it was not an old truth.. if their was something you beleived before as true and you now find it wasnt true , then it was false / untrue .. their is no such thing as an "old truth " and a "new truth" that is apparently accepted by jehovahs witnesses .. if jehovahs witnesses were as honest as they profess , then they would acknowledge when they make adjustments to their beleifs/doctrines that they were wrong in their initial understanding of said scriptures instead of passing it off as old truths or new light.. i was a witness for 33 years before it became obvious something was just not right with this religion and it took another 10-12 years before i found this site , that set me free.
so i ask , is it an iq level ?

I think it has more to do with how easily manipulated a person's emotions are. I know allot of witnesses who I would consider very intelligent, and a few I consider geniuses. They are able to function well in their fields ranging from engineering to the medical field. HOWEVER, they still do mental gymnastics to prove the 'truth' to themselves and others, saying and doing illogical things that their belief system requires. Believing illogical things like the earth being only 6000+ years old, and that 8 men in New York are God's direct channel to direct his servants because THEY KEEP SAYING THAT THEY ARE.
It is more of a set of factors which can be classed as delusions / emotional illness:
1. Getting duped into believing that they COULD never die.
2. Being afraid to admit that they were duped.
3. Being convinced that anyone who does not believe what they believe must be 'mentally diseased', possessed, not appreciative of life.
4. Being duped that all wickedness will magically disappear.
5. Being duped into believing that their failing bodies will magically become 'perfect' without exercise or diet if they just listen to a set of old men in New York and help spread their propaganda to others.
6. Being duped into believing printed paper (Watchtowers, Awakes, other literature) has worth far beyond anything imaginable. The same way people are deluded into believing they should kill and prostitute for money. Which is just paper which some people have been conditioned to value beyond their personal value.
It's an emotional complex in my opinion. Feelings have the power to over-ride logic.

I was at an elder's house last week when he stumbled on to 'Jehovah's Witnesses New Light on F&DS. JW.org' by Brad Zook. It took him a while to realise it was not an 'official video'.
I checked his history later, and he also probably watched 'Watchtower REMOVES "Trinity" Booklet---ONLINE!' by theSnarkyApologist. His history had lots of searches for 'jw.org', 'jw.org login', 'jw.org site'. Keep it up.

How Happy Are the Governing Body About Increasing Their Control on the Flock?
by OnTheWayOut inwell, it's wednesday of the annual meeting week.
most jw's in english congregations just know they get out of the mid-week meetings but gotta suffer for several hours this coming saturday, as nice weather is escaping into autumn.. i couldn't find the clip that ends short of the two guys asking "how happy are...?
" so we just have to replace it with this title:.

Annual Meeting Instructions to MS / Elders
by jw07 inhave any elders or ministerial servants here recieved any specific instructions regarding the annual meeting?
as an ms all i have been told to do is to arrive early to "await further instruction due to the sensitive nature of my assignment".
ironically all i can imagine after hearing that a few times is dispensing cyanide laced kool aid to attendees.

Individual Governing Body Members and Lawsuits
by jw07 ini don't know if this has any legal implications:.
since the identities of the individual members of the governing body have been publicly confirmed (not that we didn't know that before) can that open the way for direct lawsuits to be leveled against members?.
for instance are there any laws in the usa that would open the way for geoffrey jackson to be targetted by the lawsuits from child abuse or no blood transfusion deaths?.

Can the Demons infect a computer?
by Comatose inno self respecting jw would doubt the demons ability to attach themselves to physical objects.
for example if a jw put a poster on their wall of a pentagram or some other "satanic symbol" that's a "doorway" for the demunz.
it's inviting them into your home.

Yes they can, they tend to materialize as .exe files, sometimes with appealing names such as sashagrey.exe and milakunis.exe. Pray to Almighty Norton, his Only Begotten Son Avira, or His Active Force AVG to cast them out and help prove the issue of software sovereignty once and for all.
