  greetings, word lovers:.

  in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.

  one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.

  as some of you know, i'm not a witness, but i am the co-author of a series of history book that discuss the watch tower's earliest years.

  russell mentions a 'brother' van der ahe as an early days wt evangelist.

  we can't identify him.

  A Kind of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (stealing Christianity)

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses took mainstream christianity and replaced each part of it, one item, one term, one definition at a time, into its contrary.. holy spirit (capital letters) became a tholy spirit (lower case letters) = from a person into a mere forceful gesture.. cross became torture stake.

  (eradication of the essential symbol of historical christianity).

  soul went from ethereal spirit to a mere hunk of flesh and bone.. salvation by grace became earning your salvation one door-knock at a time.

  You ain't never lied!

  Also, under Fred Franz's stewardship, a simple I AM became I HAVE BEEN.

  Even The Message Bible got that one right.

  Okay, okay.

  I see what you mean.

  Hubristic and overweening could be synonymous, but not hubris.
