If two thousand years from now...

    a particular group of people taught others that the World Trade Center was destroyed on Sept. 11, 1981 (instead of 2001) how silly would that be?

    If people knew their history they would know that GW Bush was president at the time of the attack (Reagan was president in 81). They would know that Al Qeada did not exist in 1981. They would know the first Gulf War had not been fought yet, etc...

    But what if they were not aware of these facts? What if two thousand years from now the events of 9/11 were just a footnote in history? What if the people being taught that the attack occured in 81 were also taught not to trust outside sources of info?

    It seems silly to us today to think 9/11 happend in 81, but thousands of years from now a 20 year difference would not seem like a big deal. But it is a big deal. Plugging a historical event randomly into an erroneous date messes up the historical timeline in a big way.

    Forgive my thinking outloud here, but as I thought about this it really brought home to me the foolishness of the WT insisting that Jerusalem was destroyed in 607BCE.

    What a big fat lie and what a way to cover it up (info control)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    CHANGELING- Congratulations on becoming a " Supreme one " ! LOL! I just hit 5000 posts a couple days ago as well ! As per your subject - it is very true , The Watchtower society is not about sharing the " truth that sets you free" ; it's more about spreading the lies which keep people enslaved and controlled ! Hope you are doing well, sis ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

    Changeling.....you just changed me with this post! I have often thought to myself, "what is the big deal about 20 years

    in a span of 2500 years! So what if they are off by 20 years! Is that really such a big deal!"

    Your analogy just made me realize that it is indeed a Big Deal. Thank you. I guess when you finally become

    a Supreme One, these "revelations" just come to you, uh?

    i think you have offered a concise and distilled thesis that makes absolute sense, and offers an opportunity to get a dub to think..... especially if one proffers your (brilliant!) "what if?" scenario first, to get them thinking.....

    That is UNFAILING logic.

    And yet, I still think the diehard dubs will say 'thats just apostate talk'. After all how could the WTS be wrong? Sometimes I think its simply easier for them to live the lie, because its too scary to think of anything else. It hurts my head just to think about it.
