Not bad.

Brings back memories. I saw that (or very similar on wikipedia) while I was still attending meetings. At the time it was easy to dismiss it as "Satan's work", and an attack on "God's Organization", but the table on doctrine changes did leave seeds of doubt.

Very good link. I have given it a five-star rating. Thank you wha happened? for posting it. I belive, this page is going to be a valueable contribution to the demise of the Watchtower as we move deeply into the information superhighway of the internet age.

wha happened?
Yea because originally those outside of this organization knew little about their beliefs, or really cared. But now with the net, the "worldlies" are quite worldley wise to this wacky cult. This was obviously put together by outsiders, and they nailed it fairly well

This was obviously put together by outsiders, and they nailed it fairly well wha happened? I could not agree more. The presence of extensive clickable references adds a higher layer of credibility to this Wiki page. I was particularly attracted to the fact that most of those referenced docs are Watchtower-owned. This is very powerful and irrefutable evidence beyond reasonable doubt and question should the Wachtower decides to challenge the page's authenticity.

thanx for posting. I actually needed this info, especially where GB admits they're not inspired in 1979 WT!! I'll file it away!
Boy that really pisses me off. I remember my bible teacher in 83' had told me they were inspired...as I recall she tried to use scripture.....and I bought it

It is well done, and the fact that it is not apparently by ex-JW's adds weight to any JW who understands what Eschatology means and reads the article, some may never find it due to lack of education !
Keep an eye on the article folks, JW's like to edit them if they are allowed to.
