Watchtower purchases CoC copyright for undisclosed amount!

Conversely Obliette, this post doesn't muddy the issue. It clarifies the issue. People justify illegal activity for a plethora of reasons. When posed with a hypothetical, those justifications are exposed as hypocritical. Ethics and morals are an aside to legalities. Downloading a pirated copy of CoC is exactly as egregious as downloading a pirated copy of the KS10. We justify downloading the KS10 because Watchtower is evil. Others download CoC out of an array of justifications. Both are equally wrong legally despite anyone's spin on morals or ethics. Contemplating the idea of Watchtower owning the copyright of CoC only heightens the examination of just how intellectually honest we are when it comes to our position on copyright infringement which seems to be the topic of the month.

It's not likely this would happen for many reasons NJS. I thought a hypothetical would be good for an exercise in intellectual honesty.

Well, then the guy in question is not the guy in question that I thought was the guy in question. This is all stupid petulant much ado about nothing and embarrassing as hell.
What about Watchtower? Does anyone care anymore about exposing them or are we more obsessed with guys in question?

I'm probably getting too old for all this bickering
Issues like this propel the Ex ExJW journey. I don't think that's a bad thing. I'm hoping to catch the train soon.

So I guess when we download the "Shepherd the Flock of God" book or host a link to download it, Watchtower gets pretty angry too?

I wonder if Watchtower issued a "worldwide cease and desist" order to stop the proliferation of mass distribution of their copyrighted publications, documents, and other files, if it would have any effect on the ExJW community who largely engages in the practice?

Weldon Howze dies in California

many of us knew or knew of weldon howze.

weldon was a good friend for more than 40 years, even after my fade from the dubs.

this came to my in box today.. to all of weldons friends and family,.

Weldon was removed as an elder in the late eighties because he had an "Independant" spirit, disregarding talk outlines and service meeting agendas laid out in the KMs. He was also a closet homosexual who talked intimately with young brothers struggling with the same "maladiction". But he was loved by many regardless all around the globe. What is interesting about Weldon is that you will find many who attest to his guidance strengthening their allegiance to "Jehovah" and just as many who declare he helped them walk away from the Watchtower.

speaking for my self, no way in hell.. this question to see if you really have been deprogramed,.

I'd rather go into the LDS bunker around the corner. KHs are crap fallout shelters.
