That's exactly what I did, you stupid moron. Most anyone reading this thread from the beginning will see it, other than limp dickheads.
: This accusation has been around for many years,
That the Watchtower Society is a pathologically lying organization, sure!
: so has Franz and your goodself.
Indeed, if a few decades count for anything.
: Yes Franz is now an old man but I am sure he is not senile and is very much occupoed with his research and studies so it is not too late for you to ask the big question: During the course of writing the article on Chronology, did I misrepresent Thiele's Note in regard to Ptolemy's Canon?
Like I said, I don't need to ask about such a trivial question. Assuming he did write that material, he most certainly misrepresented Thiele's position. Not the specifics of the Note, mind you, but in the overall context of the Aid book's claim that Thiele supported the Watchtower Society's claim that Ptolemy's Canon is unreliable, Franz misrepresented Thiele's position by making him appear to support a position exactly opposite to his actual position. But remember that Franz at that time, like so many other JWs at all times, was so convinced that the Society's claims were right that they put aside normal standards of scholastic honesty. In simple terms, they lied about a lot of stuff to defend Watchtower claims., and they convinced themselves that they weren't lying because, whatever they were doing, they were doing it to defend "God's organization".
So what's your point? That Franz lied when he was a braindead JW cult member? Much like you do today? That's not news to anyone on this forum.
