there is a new writing department in wt land.. us.. think about it, the watchtower/jehovah's witnesses are a reactive 'religion', not a proactive one.. that means of course that they react and modify doctrine, rules and direction in response to what ever may be effecting them.
probably the last time they were proactive was the 40s and 50s but these days its all about preservation rather than growth.. i am sure that the actual writing department have eyes and ears out in 'aposta land'.
after all, who discuss and disect the books, magazines and letters more than we do?
I have said it before and I will say it again. The invention of the printing press led to the Reformation and the weakening of the Roman Catholic Church in the Middle ages.
The internet is an invention as big as the printing press and has/will lead to the weakening of the WTBTS command structure.

I answered on paragraph 15
i am hoping to start an interesting and substantial chat on the topic of evolution and creation.. .
i have read up on the subject for some years now.
i have no doubt whatsoever that.... we were knowingly lied to.
The WT publications in the last few years have all seemed more reasonable on the subject with actual references. They knock YECs etc and also atheists. The trend is for a lot more illustrations in the publications. I am still a believer in God - but I can see many scientific principles at work and can not ignore mountains of fossil evidence which grows year by year.
i haven't been on this site for a long time.
the other day, though, i was remembering my early days of posting (since 2004) and ones i had corresponded with..... so many wonderful people who have contributed their opinions on this forum, and sent good wishes to others throughout the years.
some i've noticed still post at this forum.
Never forgotten
it was made by a women who in later years wore crotchless panties and bras which had holes in the nipple areas.
he not only knew the woman in question (she's now deceased), he has met her numerous times.
up until recently this secret of her year's long sexual affair with rutherford was kept by the family.
the blockbuster that exposes Rutherford as a charlatan, a fraud, a shameless adulterer and a hypocrite who used GOD as his prop to live like a King, act like a King and shakedown the lives and fortunes of those poor souls who believed his bullshit. Shoot. Even HE didn't believe his own bullshit.
Bullet point 1 IMHO
there was quite a debate on another post about the increase/decrease throughout the wt history surrounding 1975 and subsequent time periods when ther have been major adjustments in doctrine.
it was said that the stasticis from 1965-1985 do not reflect a massive defection, despite the failure of the wt's prophecy for the end of the wicked system of things by 1975. .
i see the overlapping generation as another potention issue to cause fallout.
I am still in - but mentally out since I joined thsi site 8 years ago

on p. 26-27 they talk about how the lunar positions on vat 4956 fit 588/7 bce!!!.

OMG - this has almost the potential to be as much bad press as the UN scandal. Getting them on Religious hate is a great move.
