A tract is a literary work, and in current usage, usually religious in nature. The notion of what constitutes a tract has changed over time. By the early part of the 21st century, these meant small pamphlets used for religious and political purposes, though far more often the former. They are often either left for someone to find or handed out. However, there have been times in history when the term implied tome-like works.
The distribution of tracts pre-dates the development of the printing press, with the term being applied by scholars to religious and political works at least as early as the 13th century. They were used to disseminate the teachings of John Wycliffe in the 14th century. As a political tool, they proliferated throughout Europe during the 17th century. They were printed as persuasive religious material from the time of Gutenberg's invention.
As religious literature, tracts were used throughout the turbulence of the Protestant Reformation and the various upheavals of the 17th century. They came to such prominence again in the Oxford Movement for reform within the Church of England that the movement became known as "Tractarianism", after the publication in the 1830s and 1840s of a series of religious essays collectively called Tracts for the Times.
A society is a group of people involved in persistent social interaction, or a large social grouping sharing the same geographical or social territory, typically subject to the same political authority and dominant cultural expectations. Societies are characterized by patterns of relationships (social relations) between individuals who share a distinctive culture and institutions; a given society may be described as the sum total of such relationships among its constituent members. In the social sciences, a larger society often evinces stratification or dominance patterns in subgroups.
Insofar as it is collaborative, a society can enable its members to benefit in ways that would not otherwise be possible on an individual basis; both individual and social (common) benefits can thus be distinguished, or in many cases found to overlap.
A society can also consist of like-minded people governed by their own norms and values within a dominant, larger society. This is sometimes referred to as a subculture, a term used extensively within criminology.

Questions For Jehovah's Witnesses Watchtower Bible Tract Society
This tract is a redo of an old out of print tract called "Missionaries are fools" i bought some tunes from SOunddogs.com :) hope you like it!
THIS VIDEO WAS ORIGINALLY UPLOADED BY OTHER EX-WITNESSES OR ACTIVISTS. I AM UPLOADING THEM AGAIN SOLELY FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES; TO DOCUMENT THEM, AND GATHER THEM ALL INTO ONE PLACE, CREATING A LIBRARY OF SOURCES! I DO THIS FOR SEVERAL REASONS: To increase their exposure, to emphasize support for those who are all making a valid contribution, to make these videos easily accessible to future investigations, such as the one currently taking place in the United Kingdom, conducted by the Charity Commission. The senior investigator of that commission was not aware of the extent of activity among ex-witnesses; he was actually taken aback when I described to him how extensive that activity is on sites like Facebook, Youtube, etc. For such investigations, they need to gather a great deal of suppo...

In this video, I am totally not ripping off TBR's shtick that they do with their Chick Tracts! I found "The Beast" in a bathroom, and was so excited to find it! I thought they were a mystical item that one only ever heard about, but never actually saw! But lo, I doth behold the Chick Tract! TBR's channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheBibleReloaded
This is my submission to The Bible Reloaded's competition for a new intro to their chick tract videos. Considering I made up this competition myself and it is in no way shape or form real, I probably won't win, but fingers crossed!

My frustration with this organisation is the absolute disregard for personal freedom to leave it without being shunned by your family and friends. I was baptised as a child believing all that my parents and what watchtower taught me, that it was the truth and that all other religions were false and that doing independent research was wrong especially researching anything critical against watchtower doctrines. With selected knowledge and being a minor I believed what was fed to me. It wasn't till a few years ago that I had the stamina to research properly and realise this wasn't the truth for me and no longer wanted to be a Jehovah's witness as I'm a very honest person. What frustrates me that in the western world jehovah's witnesses enjoy the wonderful freedom of speech and religious acc...
