Is the Watchtower Really Rewriting their History through the DVDs and CD-ROM?s Historical Revisionist.

by RottenRiley in

i am searching for the materials showing the watchtower changing the original content like or examples of the following.. .

"the preaching work will be finished in the 20th century and never be repeated".

i heard they changed this gem, and many others, why are they so dishonest, their members are stuck in the mental mud, doubt they even read the new magazines so why are they going to the trouble of changing or revising their past magazines when the members wanting true christian freedom, practicing love and compassion will locate the revised materials?.

Edited to add the above link -- for more info, put Johnny Walker Red into JWN Search.

Hi RILEY:

A sort of revisionism, I believe . . .

When the WT got caught copying the Johnny Walker Red ad with the beach house and sunset, a totally new drawing appeared with the accompanying article in the bound volume. Their explanation -- apparently triggered by readers' inquiries -- was very breezy, no hint of the actual threat of lawsuit. It was to do, I believe, with their (WT) making images relevant and appropriate to demographics, or some such . . .

Abhor Menstruating Women.......Because The FDS say so.

by pronomono in

wow.

the insight book has some outlandish reasoning.

i'm trying to put together a talk for tomorrow night, the number 3 on abhorrent things (insight vol 1, p 17) and the entire first half links abhorrent things to menstruating women through a "possible" derived word that might mean uncleaness.

Greetings, pronomono:

I believe the relevance may be linked to the ancient matriarchies, wherein the female wisdom and medicine and sexuality were supplanted by the patriarchal societies. Goddess worship was essentially wiped out and their practices and beliefs -- which included the use of healing menstrual blood -- were viewed as abhorrent.

Will return later with corroborating refs.

Best.

i look at three forums pretty much every day, this one, a knitting/crochet forum and a weight-loss forum.

the weight-loss site has loads of useful apps, but the forum consists of posts by people who are mostly pretty young, self-absorbed and ill-informed except on a narrow range of information, mainly weight-lifting, working out, and starving themselves.. the folks on the knitting/crochet forum are extremely polite, politically correct, and obey rules very carefully.

other than that, there are some seriously creative people with amazing artistic talent that expresses itself in fiber arts.

Good morning, Hortensia:

We got eleven inches of rain (so we won't be burning for the moment), and knit one, purl two is running rampant through my brain, thank you very much.

As politically correct as I can be, which is pretty darn good, your fluffy threads are as stimulating to my little gray cells as they would be to cher Hercule, were he here to comment . . .

Everymore,

CoCo
