  The Roman Catholic church is actually pretty honest about its origins if you look hard enough they will tell you why or where they got that idea. They aalso rarely change their minds every other week or month, it takes them hundreds of years.

  I wouldn't use the term 'honest' mP....I would say...have to admit because they simply can't deny it...there is to much historical evidence.

  they got 1 thing wrong, it was't the return of jesus the jw's (bible students) were looking forward to in 1914, but the arrival of armageddon, jesus had already returned in the 1870s.

  honesty is a relative measure, yes both the WTS and RCC are liars who tell many lies, but lets be fair the Catholic church of today does admit to many of its failings and does reveal the true often pagan or made up origin of their dogma.

  Yes theres a lot of historical evidence i dont quite see how that makes them dishonest, that just makes it difficult to lie and looks like fools. I suppose we could say the same of the GB but they havent woken up to reality.

  PROLIFIC BEANS FOR SEED

  Sister Smith of Nebraska recently discovered one stalk of beans which she declares yielded so prolifically that she calls it the Millennial Bean. She desires to get the beans into the hands of others, and at the same time to make a donation to our Tract Fund for the sending forth of free spiritual food to the hungry. Accordingly the beans have been sent to our office.

  We believe the project quite a proper one, and if the beans be as prolific elsewhere as in Nebraska, we would be glad to purchase them at the rate of five beans for one dollar. (We have heard of seed wheat selling at one dollar per grain.) However, in view of unfriendly criticism of enemies, we think it best not to sell these beans, but to give them free to our subscribers who have gardens, and who will request them –five beans each.

  Sister Smith writes that they should be planted one bean to the hill, and the hills six feet apart. They should be planted in April. They keep bearing right along for weeks, and five should supply a small family. They will be ready to ship in February.

  “MILLENNIAL BEAN” SEED SUPPLY EXHAUSTED

  The requests for five of the prolific beans for seed by far exceed the supply donated by Sister Smith. We have filled the orders first received.

  In reply to various inquiries from those who requested these seed beans, we are informed by Sister Smith that there are advantages in planting them in an onion bed or row– at a distance of six feet. An insect, which proves destructive to the bean plant, seems to dislike the onions, and is thus kept away. After the onions are harvested, the beans grow very fast, if the ground is kept loose on the surface. It is also suggested that great care should be exercised in gathering the pods, not to injure the bushes, by pulling, or breaking off the leaves. If the first crop of beans is allowed to remain on the bushes until fully ripened, there will be no additional yield and the bush will die. If they are to bear repeatedly, the pods must be removed as soon as large enough to eat, we are told, and then new blossoms take the place of the first crop

  The only ones who don't seem to know the history of the WT is active JWs.

  And if you try to show them the "truth" from their own literature, they label YOU an apostate.
