Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses Need "40 Billion Pieces of Literature?" 

I had the same feelings jordan.... a HUGE waste of time

Exactly what I think aswell 😊😊

Thanks I appreciate that! @@tonywalker5538

I love that penny! I love to meet other readers!!

And WatchTower Study in the meetings 🤔

Witnesses neither believe in nor use the Bible. The Bible will not support their beliefs. Bible =Word of God. NWT=ever changing word of Watchtower.

Seems a little 'odd' right? Jehovah writes a book, but then needs man's books to explain it??

Crazy! @@futureofmoney3527

It probably wasn't _your_ breath. The householders could smell the bullshit in the literature.

LOL, you aren't alione!

Don't forget the stage props from the drama too.

i bid 50 Drachmas for the dancing girl

@@yenbbc8840 There's a 75 Drachma reserve on the dancing girl. Sorry.

@@adamantiumbullet9215 crud! i guess i'm going home with a plant. again!

LOL @@yenbbc8840

Yes Suzanne! They definitely want that stuff off the book shelves!

True! Whatever happened to the revelation book?

Mothballed several years ago! We have an entire episode on all FIVE Revelation books....a few months back on our channel@@Coral-lu5hi

Yes! And that totally flies in the face of the book itself.....making anyone thinking question the guys in NY!

I can barely get through a day LOL

Asteroids and Missile Command for me....

Yes.....throw in Galaga!!!@@adamantiumbullet9215

I love it! Video game money!!! :)

I love it when someone is surviving in SIN CITY!

@@survivingparadisepodcast Got here 28 years ago!!!!

YES! It's right under their nose and they're missing it.... God writes a perfect book, but needs some old guys to explain it better than he could? It's laughably stupid isn't it?

Oh the irony, right????

Thank you Julie!

All true!!! It's all they focus on

Wow, amazing penny, oh yeah they won't answer it, most don't know

:) Thank you Heather!!!

Thanks 96! Its true....it captures your 'mind' and holds on tight!

I love that band and that lyric!

We must also be from the same batch! My daughter & I love libraries & books & book stores. We find them very relaxing.

I love it! So glad I'm not alone.... good to know I have friends out there!

Yep! Same on the west coast!~!

The JWs are MORE weird than you realize. I know l learnt the hard way.

YES, same person.....once you read it, lights start coming on ... and you have to take a look, at least some of us do!

VERY weird.....

I have to admit you all have a good imagination. You think JWs only study and read JW literature? Where did you get that information from? JWs study many different subjects and even attend colleges and universities. While reading JW literature prior to 1950 is good for historical information there has been many changes and improvements in bible understanding. (Daniel 12:4) “As for you, Daniel, keep the words secret, and seal up the book until the time of the end. Many will rove about, and the true knowledge will become abundant.” We are in the last days per God's timetable. Jehovah's chariot is on the move and his people need to keep up. See Ezekiel chapter 1.

@@ronhansen8471 *"While reading JW literature prior to 1950 is good for historical information there has been many changes and improvements in bible understanding."* New light is new lies, Ronnie. Watchtower continually flip flopping, revising and discarding their doctrines is not an 'improvement in Bible understanding', Ron. It's replacing old bullshit with new bullshit. Please explain what "many changes and improvements in bible understanding" have occurred since the 1950s, Ron. Incidentally, your incorrect assessment of older WT literature completely contradicts WT's view of older literature. Are you an apostate? *"We are in the last days per God's timetable"* Where in the Bible is "God's timetable" listed? I've read the Bible many times and have never seen a timetable. Incidentally, are you referring to the "last days" that began in *1799,* according to Watchtower? Or, the "last days" that began in *1914,* according to Watchtower? You see, your Watchtower leaders have declared both dates as unqualifiably correct, indisputable and absolutely true...according to "God's timetable."

Exactly “religion is a racket and a snare” LOL

Yes! They need a 'new sale'.....if only JWs would truly think about it

Very interesting Penny.....I would often read it and sit back and say 'wait, is this Jesus dad?'

@@survivingparadisepodcast I agree. I saw a clear personality difference with Jesus' Father and the god of the nationof Israel. You might have others already making videos about Ba'al being one and the same god as the jehovah that the catholic monk and the jw, watchtower and their owners made popular.

Thank you Cheryl, I always debate removing me losing it, but it's just organic....even today I can't believe I bought into this stuff! Laughing is the best medicine!

Oh yes, the literature is the focal point

Oh yes, I'm sure.....and yet they've likely never read it

That's all it takes Annie, good for you!

thank you so much!!!

Especially when we are told we only need one: the Bible ;)

So true! Please take care of yourself in there....it's difficult to navigate, but glad you're doing it!

🤣😂

Same Stan! It was a requirement and in every demo!

Oh yes, I would run down to get mine....same reason!

OMG I'm so sorry for the fire, that is terrible!!

I love that song! :) Two very suspect articles!!

😂😎

SO TRUE!

There is never a 'now' is there?

They make it so easy SMY!

Thanks Beauty!

An ENTIRE insert for that book....who can forget?

Hi Jonathan, you can find some of these letters, including the lists of publications at this fantastic resource: avoidjw.org/letters/

Thanks my friend, we have to laugh or we will cry.....oh yes, those classic illustrations of death and mayhem, so encouraging LOL

*"he told me it contained apostate info."* It always amazes me when JWs say this. None of them stop to realize that, if they really believe this, how can they possibly trust ANYTHING Watchtower prints?

@@adamantiumbullet9215 Exactly!

Oh the irony!!! Many of us around for the Franz exit remember how they started getting rid of books that he wrote

YES!! An all time classic!!!

WOW, I love that Naomi, you're a success story!!

@@survivingparadisepodcast ❤❤

Oh wow, thanks Dawn...I'll have to work on that...would that really be interesting??

Thanks Martine, it's been on the list! We do have a past episode on his 'character' if interested

Love your vidéos! Regards from Montréal.

Thank you!!@@martineeggeman2057

Always glad to agree, thanks simplified!

I like the way you think LOL

@@survivingparadisepodcast 🤣🤣🤣

THANK YOU!!! missed everyone too!

LOL, I'll be at your campfire!

LOL, I can't love this enough Keith! I love that you out scammed the scammers! Thanks for listening!

Oh yes, I've watched it twice!

A true treasure....LOL

Just curious how you feel about god of the bible now?

@@karenmoody2763 Lol, I had 42 yrs in the org & an additional 20+ yrs since, to develope my ideas about god, ect. After reading the bible thru, I knew god was a maniacal, jealous, psychopath. What a child! By the time I left, after being stalked (while married) by a stalker/pedo who was after my daughter, & argueing for 11 yrs w/ the elders to make him stop & do their job, & headquarters got involved...I was thoroughly convinced that JW's had zero to do w/ god. I would rather die than serve an org or a god like that! I am content that I dont know all the answers. I have always been very reality & natural things based. I dont believe in an imaginary god. I believe in the natural circles & laws (like physics & gravity) of life as they are on this planet. I keep an open mind & look for things to check out. I think the bible was written to control the masses & that religions were invented because people couldnt handle the reality of what we experience here & they needed to make up fairy tales to feel better about it. Every culture has a belief & they are quite similar over all, even tho they vary. Its hard to sum it all up for another person to understand. But Im so much happier! So relieved. I dont need a corrupt god or religion to keep me in line. I know how to be a decent human being. Its not true that you will go hog wild if you leave. I believe in personal responsibility to the universe & all who share the planet with me. 🐎🐎🐎🐎

YES!!!!! Most JW's never read the Bible....if they did, they would have to sit back and reevaluate a few things LOL! It's filled with appalling stuff!

You people are talking about the old testament. I admit the old testament can be shocking,but was just showing us how. People acted back then without Christ in their lives. The New testament talks of the love of Jesus Christ. And the ministries of apostle Paul,Peter And the other disciples. These are the best parts of the Bible showing us how God did and can deal with His people. Read the books of we wisdom Psalms,Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. There are many good things of the Bible

Hi Roslyn, for the record, I agree, there ARE good things in the Bible! I enjoy the Book of James as an example. However, we cannot ignore that it is a book 'from God' and contains heinous crimes and horrible stories as well. It's clear that it was written by men. Just my opinion. Thanks for being here!@@roslynballard727

I used it often....and was blown away when it was mothballed

I see 6 comments from you.

Oh no, who does the deleting?? Not me!

@@survivingparadisepodcast of course wt has shares in the social medias. They can pay for their whistleblowers to be sensored. They allow the jw escapees to produce content but I've been silenced for a long time now by my comments being deleted. I know it's not you Stacey.

Along with 2Timothy 3, 16-17 What does Ecclesiastes 12:12 mean??? You know “beware my son of anything beyond these, the making of many books there is no end and much study is wearisome to the flesh”. Lol!!!!

@@Womanmad1 So quoting a Bible text for you and writing it in a paper to send to someone is WRONG for you. well, you have a problem with GOD's word then

The churches of Christendom do the same thing as Watchtower does, Mr. DC- they quote scriptures in their literature, then they tell you *their* interpretation of that scripture is correct. I guess that makes all false religion "the Truth" as well.

@@adamantiumbullet9215 they do quote it, but they twist it and threw out basic logic and grammar. Wonder why they have to make 1=3, and that the terms I am, me and myself are used for THREE PERSONs?

Why we have the Bible that’s all we need not awake or watchtower revelation book Bible teach book live forever books etc etc Gods word Bible is fully equipped isn’t it????

LOL!! Ron, do you even read your own literature? 40 BILLION.....in print: wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/502015180

Maybe they got a “scriptural divorce”. 😂

Funny 🤣 but l need accurate information please thank you

*"These are the questions you NOW need to ask yourselves."* Nope. I tend to ask pragmatic questions that keep me firmly rooted in reality. Questions about a fictional ancient Canaanite desert god and his alleged wife do not fit that criteria.

@@adamantiumbullet9215 ok no problem. It's just l like asking those kind of questions cos christainty won't answer them for ya.

@@Suzi851 No religion has the answers, Thelma. These are all fictional concepts and characters based on the musings of religious charlatans to dupe the most gullible. _"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful."_ -Lucius Annaeus Seneca

But..... can you tell us why they need 40 billion pieces of literature to explain God's book?

@@survivingparadisepodcast what SPANs of years are you talking about ? the magazines QUOTE the Bible, and present them in different ways depending on the context and topic

@@Mr.DC3.1914 Respectfully, anyone can quote the Bible, ignore context or apply their own interpretation. I strongly suggest reading WT literature of every generation....consider that in that time period what you're reading was said to be life saving TRUTH....as you will see reading ANY generation of JW literature, it is not.....much of it is hilarious, some of it is downright deadly

@@survivingparadisepodcast just ur own false twisted opinions

@@Mr.DC3.1914 We are happy to consider your proofs otherwise.... we will wait here.... please post.

🤣

Thanks Tony! I appreciate you!

Omg and I thought I was the only one that liked smelling (especially old) books 🤫 I think it's psychological, I learnt so much off of 2nd hand books. Greek mythology, Christian origins history, gnostic beliefs etc. Eye opening things.

@@julieellis2076 No, I'm right there with you! LOVE the small of fresh books! Yes, I did too, so important to read other publications, not just the WT
