FOCUS:
Nowhere does Norm say or suggest that they knew from the beginning or at any early point what the right numbers were.What he did he say - and prove - was that the Watchtower recklessly and VERY repeatedly uttered figures as being authoritative which were then seen to be materially wrong, and it deceitfully quoted at least one source that itself was only quoting previous Watchtower mispeculation..But it is SO MUCH more convenient for you to argue against some strawman that you wish Norm had written, instead of what he did write -- isn't it?
We do understand Theocratic War Strategy rather well, You Know.
I referred to Norm:
We do understand Theocratic War Strategy rather well, You Know.As we can see, the Watchtower did have accurate figures. The Watchtower leaders have always been “control freaks”, and “Judge” Rutherford was not less so than the later leaders.
Maybe, I misunderstood him because English is not my mother mother tongue.But you got me right in this: they did not care about the figures before 1990.I have some problems with your ad hominem attacks on my person including ridiculing my position. Must have been a hard time for you as a JW, surpressing all this aggression - or were you an Elder? ;-)I think you are mentally a step far out of it when you don't get aggressive when discussing it.There is some work to do for all of us.
