The WT has always had on hand enough self contradictory information to be able to cherry pick
its own writings to 'prove' whatever current take it has on any given subject.

That i sooooooooo true. That is what drives you crazy.
That is why we need facts such as what DontCallMeShirley presents.
Looking up all of those quotes takes so much time.
This is valuable. Thank you, DCMS!
Someone earlier asked, "Why go over this stuff all the time?"
If I recall correctly, that person was never a witness....
Here is the reason:
Sincere people could be reading this. They may be disturbed by what they read.
They may not be able to put it all together, because of the "cherry picking."
They may not have the time, the resources, the "search the internet" ability
and may be very appreciative of this effort.
I certainly do notlike being lied to, and believe that yes, indeed, the WTBTS lies.
I don't like them using people's lives, resources and time for their benefit.
I cried when I read about "prophecy fulfilled" the in the old Finished Mystery book, page 230
Why? I saw they could make anything work, any time.
I never had a chance to see this idiocracy.... lunacy...
Last year, I told my friend that the WTBS would soon be rewriting history,
simply waiting for people who knew what had realllllly happend to die,
just like they have done in the past, then writing something new...
and they are...... they are...
Here is the shell game they play... they play, with your lives:

not a mile and this is without the city whereas the battle line is within the city. See Rotherham's translation.
A stadium is 606% English f t ; 1200 stadli are, mi.. 137J The work on this volume was done In
Scranton, Fa. As fast as It was completed it was sent to the Bethel. Half of the work was done at an average distance
of 5 blocks from the Lackawanna station, and the other half at a distance of 26 blocks. Blocks in Scranton are 10
to the mile. Hence the average distance to the station is 15 blocks, or 1.5 ml.
The mileage from Scranton to Hoboken Terminal Is shown in time tables as 143.8
and this is the mileage charged to passengers, but in 1911, at an expense of
$12,000,000, the Lackawanna Railroad completed its famous cut-off, saving 11
miles of the distance. From the day the cut-off was completed the trainmen have
been allowed 11 miles less than the time table shows, or a net distance of 132.8 "
