Well of course we are all more sensitive to the ever shifting doctrines, now that we are out and have done our research our eyes are opened to the changes.
The R&F on the other hand may never notice, the endless meetings where you mentally switch off, the odd watered down reference to 1914 keeps the older JW's happy and the newwer ones never know the difference. Its only in hindsight do you realise what has happenned. Like the changing of the words on the barn door in Orwells 1984, no its always said that, you are mistaken.
Well I am not mistaken, I sat through book studies of the 'Babylon' book as a child, I remember the chronology and the fact that the entire doctrine was hinged upon it. I remember the early 80's when it was more than hinted at that 1984 was significant. I remember reading books that told how Rutherfords organisation was cleansed and found favour after the 3 1/2 years in prison following 1914. I remember the explainations of Porousia and christs presence. I could recite how 607 + 7 times + Year 0 = 1914 . I leanrned how the 6000 years added up to 1975 and then saw it downplayed. I remember the subtle change of the Generation to those that were alive in 1914.
I suspect very few will even notice.
No one noticed when they changed the banner on the Awake, no one noticed the references to the UN in the 80's. They accept the new light on blood fractions.
Its like the old story of how to boil a frog. Change the temperature slowly and they dont notice.
A few references here and there then comes the new light that appears to be only a gradual change. No Brothers we have always taught that.
Eventually the whole thing will be so hollow there will be nothing left.
