Watchtower movement history
Hi Duffer1 :-) You can delete the reference if you wish, it's your perogative, I don't have an change alert on the page as you do!  There's absolutely no doubt about the positive contributions the WT movement has had and continues to have for Humanity, such as civil rights for all minority religions to practice their beliefs for starters.  Correspondingly, people collectively within Society are influencing clarification of WTB&TS policy to medical treatments such as which type of blood fractions are permissible, rather than the previous none at all (it used to be 'personal descision' 50 years ago). Or the legal policies for keeping confidential records within a large organisation. Also has been imparting into Society a collective rationality ready for the next coming 50 years of organisations, of which I hope you will personally see through with a life of achievement and personal growth throughought your life-cycle. Not forgetting the demographics, as people leave large organisations of this type and return to mainstream Society taking the best. High up in the WTB&TS day-to-day operations (at Branch level and higher) there is a thing currently described as 'the world-wide-order', it's the official operational core of the WT movement, but in no way does it fully control the movement. It took a Sputnik propaganda stunt to start the space race & cold war, the space race to miniaturise electronics and bringing us together. You;ll later realise that it's really a collective spirit of humanity is what really runs things, not imagined polar forces from a totalist ideology that are portayed as out of control.

 * The edit has nothing to do with any of that. It says: "Followers of the Watchtower Movement, Jehovah's Witnesses (previously known as International Bible Students until 1931) have been using the name throughout the world (with exceptions) as the most commonly spoken English pronunciation. of the Tetragrammaton."  The edit flat out makes no sense grammatically.  Even though Jehovah's Witnesses are the "WT movement" and not really followers of, the sentence goes on to say: "have been using the name throughout the world".  Well what name?  WT Movement? Witnesses? IBS?  Besides all that, no Witness, no encyclopedic entry, no legal organization is called, or calls itself: "The Watchtower Movement."  There's just no such thing regardless of how many google pages use any given combination of "watchtower" and "movement".  I'm surprised that someone has actually taken the time to even write a small wiki article on it (even though all of that info is already available in the JW or related wiki articles).

Watchtower Movement
The article, Watchtower Movement, which seems to substantially be your creation, has been nominated for deletion. There is not, and never has been, a 'Watchtower Movement' outside of the Watch Tower Society affiliated with the Bible Students/Jehovah's Witnesses. If you believe there to be any importance to this article that should not instead by covered in the actual relevant articles, please state your case at Articles_for_deletion/Watchtower_Movement.-- Jeffro 77 (talk) 03:46, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
