  Misquote in the Creation Book

  my dad came into the jw's because someone studied the "creation" book with him.

  it pains me deeply that he sent me an e-mail recently saying that to keep the peace with my mom, he will stop communicating with me as much as possible.

  i should communicate with him only if i have an emergency.. it upsets me to no end, but i cannot do anything or much about it.

  I am really confused as to Jastrow's book The Enchanted Loom. Will soon be posting pictures of that book, the Watchtower book quotes, and you can help me decipher it. It seems like he supports both views at the same time, or a mixture of them.

  But I will do that later... going to watch a movie

  I just got the book "The Enchanted Loom"... written by an Agnostic, it seems very ambiguous. Sometimes he is so pro-evolution, sometimes he seems to agree with Creation.

  There are more than a few quotes from that book in the Creation book. Took a picture of the entire page of all the quoted pages.

  It upsets me to no end, but I cannot do anything or much about it. Hassan told me (I made an appointment with him) that I should improve my life FIRST before trying to get my mom and dad out.

  In any case, I am investigating every single quote in the Creation book and comparing it to what the original authors had to say.

  Consider this one:

  *** ce chap. 2 pp. 15-16 par. 6 Disagreements About Evolution—Why? ***

  6 Paleontologist Niles Eldredge, a prominent evolutionist, said: “The doubt that has infiltrated the previous, smugly confident certitude of evolutionary biology’s last twenty years has inflamed passions.” He spoke of the “lack of total agreement even within the warring camps,” and added, “things really are in an uproar these days . . . Sometimes it seems as though there are as many variations on each [evolutionary] theme as there are individual biologists.”4

  Here's the reference: 4. Natural History, “Evolutionary Housecleaning,” by Niles Eldredge, February 1982, pp. 78, 81.

  Here's the last part of the quote, in full (I got the magazine from my University library):

  I am referring to the 1989 Yearbook quote.
  
  The way the person put it:

  With confidence in the vision’s complete fulfillment during the decades of this twentieth century the anointed remnant of the bride class have never let up saying "Come!" Every effort has been made to broadcast the message to all nations. (p. 3)

  The way it's in the Yearbook (or at least in the CD):

  "With confidence in the vision’s complete fulfillment, during the decades of this 20th century the anointed remnant of the bride class have never let up in saying “Come!” Every effort has been made to broadcast the message to all nations."

  The comma there (after fulfillment) changes the meaning (IMHO). The effort is in the 20th century, but not the vision's complete fulfillment.
  
  (I hope I explained myself)

  I must make a comment, though.

  In the one from 1989, the person did not notice that there is a comma. That changes the meaning, and it is NOT a "20th century" reference. The other ones, though, are legitimate.

  The List, by "Prominent Bethelite"

  by morloc in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i occasionally pop through here to catch up on the latest, but this time i'm going to pop my own post on here.. some of you internet oldsters may even remember this.

  my first experience on the internet regarding discussions about jehovah's witnesses and the watchtower took place on a now-obscure usenet group, before i eventually stumbled across hourglass2.. during those days, there was a poster who went by the name "prominent bethelite," an otherwise anonymous individual whom i remember most for an extensive, exhaustive compilation of date-oriented remarks, predictions, and expectations by the watchtower organization down through the decades of its history.. it became known as "the list" and it's definitely lengthy... but a fascination look at the abundance of errant statements made through the watchtower's history.. if you're curious, it's been available for a long time on hourglass2's site, and can be seen using the link provided below.. the list, compiled by prominent bethelite (1999).

  that's about it for this stop through here.
