Thank you Doug for trawling through the archives for our benefit.
Doesn’t the record of Watchtower doctrine expose the ad hoc decisions they have constantly made to assert whatever is most convenient at the time. Each change of belief is based on what GB members had wrongly assumed to be plausible perhaps only a year or two previously. They are not dealing with divine truth...far from it; they are dealing with the flimsy whims of the imagination but claiming it to be from God.
A good example of this is the notion that “the great multitude” were not Jehovah’s Witnesses, only the “anointed” were...until 1948! The Watchtower only speaks garbage, none of their pontifications are true and testable.
How can any edifice (and especially a tower) be built on shifting sands...?
