Hello,
I hope you are all well and smiling. May I ask for some help? I am looking for any RECENT, as in last 20 years, alterations to the literature. Particularly ominous, deceitful, naughty alterations. For example isn't there one where they removed 20th century from a line in reference to the last days?
Basically I want to show someone how the organisation knowingly go back over literature and in a very sinister way, alters the past!
Thank you xxx

Here's the one where the original magazine said "in our 20th century" but they changed the bound volume to "in our day."

Thank you, that's great xxx
Not a change as such or at the time, but a revisionist reference to the past in 1993.

On Saturday, September 18, following his morning discourse, Brother Rutherford released the tan-colored book Enemies. It denounced false religion as “a great enemy, always working injury to mankind.” False religionists were identified as “agents of the Devil, whether they are aware of that fact or not.” When presenting the book to the audience, Brother Rutherford said: “You will notice that its cover is tan, and we will tan the old lady’s hide with it.” To this the audience gave loud and enthusiastic approval.
For some years the phonograph had played a part in ‘ tanning the old lady .’
Not true. See http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/225851/1/WBTS-taught-that-ALL-religion-is-a-snare-and-a-racket-up-to-1950
