They are making their own rules, they can smell that the world has had enough of 'fundementalists' and they have decided that believing that the earth is 6000 years old is what dictates this, they refer to these people as 'creationists'.... Ironic because if I asked the average JW if they were creationists I am sure they would say yes.
The watchtower are setting up straw men and making their own definitions for fundementalism, extremism and creationists etc. The same article was on their old jw.media site for journalists to look at under 'are we fundementalists'. They also said only people who believe the whole bible to be taken as literal are extremists and that they dont. Again the average JW would be shocked at them saying that. Watchtower are being sneaky, the journalist looking at JWmedia would read that, thinking it meant they didnt take all the bible literally as they stated.... BUT watchtower were just being naughty, sneaking in the sentence with the small print that some of the bible is prophetic and not literal. BUT for me, the fact that WT were being so deceitful means they know what they are doing and know that they are being extreme BUT dont want that perception, they were protecting the brand.
They can wordplay all day long, but they are fundementalists and they are extremeists and they are creationists.
Says alot that they think they can re-define terminology as they wish, just who do these walking ego's think they are?
