1st point - You want me to leave my religion, what's wrong with me wanting you to leave yours?
2nd point - The 1983 yearbook reference is untrue. The relevant section: "From Chile's report we read: “A special pioneer making a return visit asked the lady what book teaches us the will of God. ‘The Watchtower, of course,’ she said. Our sister proceeded to explain that it was, rather, the Bible. ‘Yes, but what would I do with my recently obtained Bible if I did not use The Watchtower to understand it?’—Acts 8:31.”" It was not one of Jehovah's Witnesses that said that. This was under the subheading "MAGAZINES APPRECIATED."
3rd reference - Doesn't even mention The Watchtower. It is talking about the "faithful and discreet slave" who is giving (spiritual) food at the proper time., then refers to Acts 8:30-40, where people can gain understanding by having scriptures explained to them.
4th reference - 8/15/81 WT - It is talking about SOME who have said that personal Bible reading or reading in small groups is enough. These have gone back to Christendom's doctrines.
I'm out of time to post tonight. My wireless connection went down, but I finally got it going again.
All I can say for now is don't believe everything you read at some website, or a book written by someone with an ax to grind.

There is only one reason to leave your cult...
at least one that is the first major reason
problems that should tell you it is a cult.
They make Jesus Christ, who is God, has always
been God and always will be God - neither created
nor made - into a created being.
No Christ who is God, no salvation. No Christianity.
No heaven.
Of course, there Jehovah’s Witnesses are wrong
on every major belief - including how to read
Greek.
Those are great reasons to FLEE slavery to the
watchtower cult.
