The Real Reason

Episode Summary

Have you ever wondered why things have changed? Was the light really getting brighter or were there other more practical reasons for changes? Louise, Adam and Stephanie each take one change to the doctrine or practice of Jehovah's Witnesses and discuss what the real reasons behind the changes might have been. The sound is not great, but the subject matter is fascinating.

Stephanie discusses why the book study meeting held in peoples home was removed and the team speculate as to the reasons behind the change.
Louise discusses the court case that preceded the literature changing from having a fixed price printed on the covers, to being offered to householders for 'free', albeit it with strong encouragement to make a donation.
