    Aid to Bible Understanding. 1971. Big blue book.

    Which Raymond Franz helped produce. Go to pages 884 & 885. It talks about all of this specifically.

    You'll see why the Borg wanted its older publications back some years ago.

    Bang on. Athanuis.

    That nails it.

    Instead the Borg says things like : "" at times we might have said this or that or done things like...""

    But,,, what you'll never hear is "" we were wrong about certain things,, we own up & fix our mistakes"""

    Does it matter?

    Do we have any idea of how bronze-age goatherders pronounced anything?

    Where are the "two or more witnesses" to confirm the stories?
