Jehovah blessed our efforts. Many branches have reported [...]

This is a continuation in the series examining the July 2022 Watchtower. With the May 2022 JW Broadcast, the Governing Body has confirmed its unofficial policy that unity is paramount. Unity is more important than truth. As long as everyone believes and embraces the same teaching, even if it is false, it is preferable to the alternative. Sure, the best solution would be for the Watchtower [...]
