The same discussion has taken place recently on the talk pges of the JW articles at Wikipedia. One dub keeps saying articles from 1950 and 1974 that refer to the WTS as a "prophet organization", chosen by God to warn the world, are "outdated". But if articles are outdated, why has the GB not updated them or repudiated them? Why have they not removed them from WT CD-roms in the same way that Russell's and Rutherford's books have been allowed to go out of print? It's just as Neverendingjourney explains: cognitive dissonance. They'll take any route to avoid facing hard facts.
