    Hello everyone,

    Many of us are aware of the terminology

    used by the WBTS Inc. when trying to

    justify the ' changes'. As a reminder

    I'll give some of these pearls:

    *** errors in the past ;

    ***misinterpretations ;

    ***misunderstandings ;

    ***premature expectations ;

    ***mistakes in their understanding ;

    ***matters on which corrections of viewpoint have been needed ;

    ***unrealized hopes ;

    ***Jehovah...gives us further clarification of truth ;

    ***misplaced expectations ;

    ***inaccurate concepts ;

    ***a clearer understanding ;

    ***views in need of refinement,

    ***serious disappointments ;

    ***look again with deeper understanding ;

    ***formerly cherished views ;

    ***a more precise viewpoint ;

    ***updated explanations ;

    *** it was thought that;

    ****as it was then understood;

    ***further research has revealed;

    ***Some Bible Students believed;

    ***held in esteem for some decades ;

    ***what false idea ;

    ***in times past it had been said;

    ***a new explanation of a scripture;

    I'm sure that there are many more.

    Greetings, J.C.MacHislopp

    My mother had sometimes wished that changes in doctrine were printed in red ink so we wouldn't miss them. Little did she realize at the time that the obfuscation was deliberate.
