this whole article tries to lie about the watchtower's past and put a cover over all of their lies and deceptions and "old truths" and lies and such......
dustyb, probably the biggest lie the WTS tells, IMO, the easiest to prove in this article is the one that the WTS has always taught that Jesus? presence began in 1914 (not 1874 as they taught until 1943).
The WTS is sure interested to know who the human authors of the bible were, but when it comes time to accredit their own publications authorship is deemed un-important under the guise of humility!!

, they don?t want people to know a) how little if any involvement any member of the GB has in the development of any WT article, b) how many (30 or more) of the non-anointed brothers at Bethel are involved. I swear there is a brother just in charge of commas, one for periods, one for paragraph indentations. I also know that one brother makes a change and another comes by and puts it back. The brother(s) in charge of resource citations has been falling down on the job lately.

Another scintillating example of circular reasoning brought to you by the WTBTS.
I think that most JWs are aware of this subliminally and wonder why they leave knowing less than they came in.

l, be careful
for how I managed to sit through this self-congratulatory/mastubatory bullshit, with a straight-face -- I do not know --all congratulations gratefully received
You are losing brain cells every time you do this. I recommend you always read my review before going if you have to. Otherwise, bring the Message Bible and read it instead.

, I inoculate myself by reading the flip-flip doctrines before I start doing my review.
So theoretically a member of Christendom is not as bad as an anointed "evil slave" that burdens the watchtower with asking for "oil".
Good points, XQs. But just as dead at Armageddon. The difference is that any unrepentant evil slave that dies before Armageddon is viewed as going into "Gehenna," eternally destroyed just like Judas (per the WTS).
Heathen,
Are you telling me they actually take responsibility for being identified as the evil slave
No, the WTS points to the Bible Students who left before 1935 and any anointed JWs who work against the WTS since then. The Bible Students that left the WTS don?t view themselves as the evil slave but as the ones who have upheld true teachings. Based on Rutherford?s actions in 1917-8, he was the one that pulled away from the Bible Students as a case of control not doctrine.
