Its amazing what kind of bullshit book publishers will come up with in a effort to attract the publics attention.
The 6000 years story had previously been used by the WTS. in the 1914 era, something I just found out myself.
Its also interesting to note that the leaders/editorial writers were also developing their own SELF acquired power
as the publishing organization grew. A self devised kingdom of their own control and governance had been created.
The WTS's bullshit evolved into " The Truth " and was fed toward the public with organized fervor and devotion.
By the way in case anyone was wondering the 6000 years of man's existence as calculated by the WTS. is an incalculable lie,
for its imposable to make this calculation from the bible's own chronology or any other means.
But why and how could this bullshit be spread and circulated so openly as it did ?
Oh thats right, its a religious publishing company/organization.
The WTS. should be looked upon as the National Enquirer of all the religions in the world.

I enjoyed your post.
It is simple for me to see that now, but when I was in, I was expected not to question the GB/Faithfull Slave.
By not questioning the GB/Faithfull Slave, it turns us into mindless followers of men, and that is MIND CONTROL.
If you never question the GB, then they can say anything and you will believe it, no matter how crazy it is. (Generation/Generation/Generation)
The GB will overlap as many generations as they want, and people will buy it, if they dont use "independant thinking", and that is why the GB dont like when you start having "independant thinking".

Exactly and if one was to press with analytical scrutiny on the WTS. own self devised doctrines you would come to the realization
that the professed Truth was really an intensional self devised Lie.

Does God's rest day parallel the time man has been on earth since his creation? Apparently so.
Is the writer of this article talking out of his ass? Apparently so.
