  Another changed WT publication from when it was first published to now

  this is as it was originally, or at least at the time that paul grundy saw it, because he has this picture on jwfacts:.

  this is what it says on jwfacts right now:.

  watchtower articles on evolution contain a consistent pattern of poor research, such as quotes from both the january and august awake!

  In this case it seems they fixed a factual error in attributing a statement to the wrong author, which is fair enough.
  

  
  Yes, agreed SBF, but, if they made changes, it would be the honest thing to do to point them out.

  For example, a NYT article I recently read about Gary Johnson and his "what is Aleppo" gaffe, said:
  
  

  Correction: September 8, 2016
  

  An earlier version of this article misidentified the de facto capital of the Islamic State. It is Raqqa, in northern Syria, not Aleppo.

  Correction: September 8, 2016
  

  An earlier version of the above correction misidentified the Syrian capital as Aleppo. It is Damascus.

  People make mistakes, they should show that there was a previous version to maintain transparency.

  Watchtower articles on evolution contain a consistent pattern of poor research, such as quotes from both the January and August Awake! magazines in 2015. The following attributes a quotation to Dawkins.

  ““The filament of DNA is information, a message written in a code of chemicals, one chemical for each letter,” wrote evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins.” Awake! 2015 Aug p.5

  This is not a quote from Dawkins, but from Ridley. A little bit or research uncovers this statement appears on page 37 of Richard Dawkings book The Oxford Book of Modern Science Writing. However, Dawkins is quoting from page 13 of Matt Ridley's 1999 book Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters
  
  This is the Awake as it stands right now:
  
  
  
  So... conclusion is: THEY CHANGED IT!
  
  Another possible conclusion is that they do visit this site and other exJW sites.
  
  We as a community HAVE to get copies of EVERY WT PUBLICATION as soon as it is printed, because I am guessing these changes are going to be extremely common from now on.

  i had not seen my parents for over 15 years since the funeral of my brother and even then no one spoke to me as i was da.

  my dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2014 and i was then permitted contact with them.

  i now know the reason that this is allowed.

  for the world, michael jackson's death was the death of an insanely well known person.. in latin america, juan gabriel was like our michael jackson, he was that well known.. generations of people all over latin america knew his songs.

  you heard his songs when you broke up with someone and went to the bar, you heard his songs in karaoke, you heard his songs every saturday when your grandma played music loudly and she only had the one cassette and it was his.... i hadn't cried for the death of an artist before, but today i did.. there are sooo many memories, both good and bad, in mine and hundreds of millions of people, in which he was a part.. mexico and all of latin america is in pain right now.. may he rest in peace..

  Are you Latin American, Island Man?

  It would be really impressive to me that you have never heard any single Juan Gabriel song in your life. He wrote more than 1800 songs, just one of his albums sold 8 million records (most sold album in Mexico's history), he's the inspiration for Marc Anthony and many other Latin American singers....

  Have you been hiding under a rock for the past 30 years or something?

  Did you ever feel like this?

  by Mandrake in

  1. social
  2. family

  i'm thinking in emigrating... i feel like i'm stuck here in chile, and going likely to canada (i have my aunt and cousins there, full citizens) is like a real option by now.... i feel like i'm stuck and that in a best scenario i will be starting at the bottom of the pit, with about 75.000 (usd) in university debt (from 3 different sources) that won't go away easy, broken family, unstable relations with my mother, i think that i've almost got over the jw issue, but the consequences on my life being a born in are severe.... this saturday will be my second appointment with the therapist, i'm trying to figure out how to put things in order by now, my due date is december, to make any decisions... i finished almost to 5th year of dentistry, roughly 2 years remained but couldn't handle the family struggle, suicide attempts, getting out the wt, 4 house moves in 3 years, my father not paying a nickel for the university... i supported my mother to my own detriment, she's coming out of borderline personality disorder and i think she's a lot better but im tired... .

  ...as i'm "almost" a dentist i work from time to time with some patients (friends, ex-univsity patients), i've done a lot of crowns, surgeries, fillings etc to earn some money at my brother in-law clinic)... but i got kicked out of university for failing to complete some clinical requirements because of lack of patients in the previous courses, i just hadn't the force to try harder... studying was clearly not a priority by then, and as i used to be a good student just didn't know all the rules about failing courses... well that is, i just wanted to vent a little....

  I am so sorry. Life can be shit sometimes. My recommendation is to just take things a day at a time and try to do something small each day to solve your problems.

  Abrazo, amigo!!
