TEXT THREE.

THE HOUSEHOLDERÓS GUIDE TO THE ÒDOORSTEPÓ WITNESSES.

AN EXPOSURE.

* * * * *

JEHOVAHÓS WITNESSES:

A RELIGION

AN AMERICAN WRITING, PRINTING AND PUBLISHING CONCERN

THAT USES METHODS OF ÒMIND CONTROLÓ OVER ITS MEMBERS

AT CONGREGATION LEVEL IN ORDER TO PERSUADE THEM TO

FUND ITS LITERATURE AND ÒPROCLAIMÓ THE IMMINENCE OF

CHRISTÓS SECOND ADVENT. THE OVERALL PURPOSE BEING TO

RECRUIT NEW MEMBERS IN ORDER TO EXPAND AND

PERPETUATE THE SYSTEM?

THE JEHOVAHÓS WITNESSES ORGANIZATION ( AND THE

METHODS USED TO SUSTAIN IT FOR OVER 120 YEARS ) MAKE A

FASCINATING STUDY.

THIS TEXT CONTAINS INFORMATION THAT THOSE WISHING TO

CONVERSE WITH THE WITNESSES MAY FIND USEFUL.

THIS INFORMATION APPLIES EITHER TO THOSE WHO WISH TO

ENGAGE THE ÒDOORSTEPÓ WITNESSES OR ARE INVOLVED IN

OTHER ( MORE ONGOING ) SITUATIONS.

THE SUBJECT MATTER IS OF PARTICULAR INTEREST TO ALL

EX-WITNESSES,

THOSE MINISTERING TO EX-WITNESES,

THOSE WISHING TO ENGAGE THE ÒDOORSTEPÓ WITNESSES

AND

THE CURIOUS.

THIS TEXT CONTAINS 152 COMPUTER PAGES.

Texts 1,2 and 3 have been posted on the Internet at

www.JehovahsWitnessesorSatans.com

This website consists of three texts. Text One is, basically, a series of approximately

550 Society quotations; as such it is highly factual. Of course, the reader will have to

determine if my comments concerning these quotations are valid. If this is thought to

be so, then my comments set out the true and verifiable history of the Watch Tower

Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania. Texts Two and Three are based on Text One.

It is my hope that readers will be sufficiently interested in the contents of this website

to place it on their hard drive for future reference. It is also my hope that readers will

inform interested friends and acquaintances of the website address in order that they

may do the same.

If the contents of this website are transferred to a floppy disk (diskette), hard disk or

CD-ROM these may be given to interested friends and acquaintances who have a

computer but do not wish to put this website on their hard drive.

My main aim is to bring the contents of the website to those people who are in a

position to present the facts concerning the Society through either books, newspaper

articles or television programmes. It is even possible that a film may be produced

using Text One as a basis.

I emphasize the use of disk duplication and dispersal to interested friends and

acquaintances, in addition to passing on the website address, because disks are

permanent but websites are not. It is quite possible that some disks will survive well

into the future and play a continuing part in exposing the nature of the Watch Tower

Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania.

Also, if these disks are passed on to interested friends and acquaintances for further

duplication and dispersal, it is probable that a targeting effect will come into operation

and this may result in the realization of my main aim. Clearly, such a procedure,

continuously applied, could result in thousands of these disks being dispersed

worldwide.

The reader may be wondering about the reference to Satan in the Internet address. All

texts list 10 instances of the SocietyÓs direct manipulation of the Bible. The Bible has

been adulterated in order to make it concur with the SocietyÓs manipulative doctrines.

To adulterate the Bible for this or any other purpose I regard as satanic.

These 10 instances have been grouped, in all texts, under the heading ÒDirect

Manipulation of the BibleÓ. Therefore, it is possible to print out a comprehensive copy

from any text using the Mark-File-Print-Selection-OK procedure or on a page-by-page

basis.

In Text One the page range is 415-427; in Text Two it is 149-160 and in Text Three it

is 19-27. This information enables printouts to be obtained using the page range -

without marking.

The organization has become a huge, self-sustaining book club. Its main aim, at the

present time, is to recruit new members who will make tax-free voluntary donations

for the vast amount of Society literature that will be produced during their time as a

JehovahÓs Witness. This could mean for the rest of their lives, and possibly their

childrenÓs lives.

Importantly, offering the literature on the doorstep is currently being modified: the

approach now appears to be based on reading passages from their own Bible. (Spring

2004) It is most likely that the biblical passages presented on the doorstep will contain

some of the adulterations to be found in their version of the Bible. Accordingly,

anyone wishing to engage the ÒdoorstepÓ Witnesses would be well advised to read the

ÒDirect Manipulation of the BibleÓ section of this text. Ideally, a printout of this

section, kept at hand, would enable any comparisons to be made between their

adulterated Bible and the New International Version. It may be that the adulterated

sections are not given; if so, present a printout of one direct manipulation and take it

from there.

If the organizationÓs new approach is maintained, the opportunity to obtain their

literature will be restricted. Possibly, the reader may consider this a good idea but the

opportunity to form an opinion concerning the organization will not be available - as

probably intended. Those susceptible to the machinations of the organization may find

themselves attending services at the local Kingdom Hall, thereby exposing themselves

to the operating methods as described in this text.

So, this new approach to ÒdoorstepÓ witnessing is a sweeping change that presents

advantages to both the organization and those wishing to engage the neatly-dressed,

briefcase-carrying individuals who you may find on your doorstep.

As stated, the organization may obtain new recruits who have had no opportunity to

form an opinion of the organization by reading its literature. However, those who wish

to engage the ÒdoorstepÓ Witnesses now have the opportunity to do so in a clear and

precise manner. The adulterations to GodÓs Word, the Holy Bible, contained in their

complete Bible, the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (the New

Testament section), are there for all to see and these may now be compared with other

Bibles. I use the New International Version but all other universally-accepted Bibles

do not contain any of the adulterations that are set out in their New World Translation.

Clearly, this new approach by the organization has altered the overall situation

regarding the ÒdoorstepÓ Witnesses and some of the contents of this text are now not

applicable. However, I have not altered this text because individual ÒdoorstepÓ

Witnesses may still be inclined to engage in a general discussion.

The following passage has been taken from Raymond FranzÓ book In Search of

Christian Freedom. (Page 721) His book was published during 1999. (Details to be

given)

Quote The Watch Tower Society in the United States has built up an enormous real

estate holding. In the Brooklyn Heights area they have constructed several multi-

storied residential buildings, have additionally purchased most of the areaÓs main

hotels (the Towers Hotel, the Standish Arms Hotel, and the Bossert Hotel), recently

paid $6 million for a Ðsliver buildingÑ (26 stories high but only 22-1/2 feet wide), and

own factory buildings covering more than half a dozen entire city blocks.

In a nearby section (Vinegar Hill) of Brooklyn they have begun demolition for

construction of another residential building of 30 stories.

In upstate New York in the county of Ulster alone they own other land and property

valued at more than $80 million.

Near the town of Patterson, New York, they have purchased 684 acres of land and are

constructing a multimillion-dollar complex that will include the Watch TowerÓs

Gilead school and also a 150 unit hotel (to be named the Patterson Inn).

Combined together, these vast holdings, and the thousands of staff workers employed

or housed in them, cannot but create a strong visual impression on Witnesses who

visit them. The temple complex in Jerusalem would seem remarkably tiny by

comparison, its cost, paltry by comparison.

While not so enormous, very large properties and building complexes have been

developed in other major countries of the world. Unquote

To these assets must be added the Watch Tower SocietyÓs Kingdom Halls.

The matter of asset ownership is outside the scope of this book. However, the Watch

Tower Society has shareholders and these would be the beneficiaries should the

Society ever be wound up.

The Watch Tower SocietyÓs full title is the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of

Pennsylvania. The Society is the legal agency of the JehovahÓs Witnesses

organization. It also controls all aspects of the material presented to the Witnesses.
