    Hello ,
    I hope you’ll like this one:

    To cope with the dissonance caused by past WT 'truth' becoming out-dated with new contradictory 'truth' metaphors are employed to subtly redefine the definition of truth. The light of truth becomes progressively brighter, revealing new truths clearer than ever before and supposedly adding to, but not contradicting old truths (Zion's Watch Tower, 2/1881:3).

    However the evidence at many points indicates doctrinal contradiction, so more recently the WT added another metaphor for 'truth':
    At times explanations given by Jehovah's organization have shown adjustments, seemingly to previous pints of view. But this has not actually been the case. This is compared to what is known in navigational circles as "tacking." By manoeuvring the sails the sailors can cause a ship to go from right to left, back and forth, but all the time making progress toward their destination in spite of contrary winds. (WT, 1/12/1981:27)

    I thought that Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life” (John 14:6) and the Psalmist declared: “ The substance of your word is truth”.(Psalms 119:160).

    they call their organization "the truth" hence claiming the position of Christ.

    He said: "All those who come in place of me are THIEVES AND PLUNDERERS."
