    "The apostle Paul was spearheading the Christian missionary activity. He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century." (w89 1/1 12 "The Hand of Jehovah Was With Them" [as originally published in the Watchtower magazine]).

    Blondie, those are both on WT Library. If only they could put in a "we lied" filter, it be easier to find their BS....

    AlltimeJeff, this appeared in the Proclaimers book (1993) the same year the WT 1993 quote was printed. That's why I originally caught the "lie."

    *** jv chap. 28 p. 632 Testing and Sifting From Within ***Based on the premise that events of the first century might find parallels in related events later, they also concluded that if Jesus’ baptism and anointing in the autumn of 29 C.E. paralleled the beginning of an invisible presence in 1874, then his riding into Jerusalem as King in the spring of 33 C.E. would point to the spring of 1878 as the time when he would assume his power as heavenly King.

    Don't they say its OK to lie if they can label it as "spritual warfare"? Like they did in some court cases.

    What organized religion doesn't lie ?

    The frame work of every Christian based religion is to create believability and viability upon themselves , without that in place

    they would fall a sunder quickly.

    The WTS. just does it in a different way.

    blondie and ninja: Thanks for more examples.

    Joshnaz: Good point. The WT$ has defined a lie as "saying something false to a person who is entitled to know the truth". Tricky. I guess they view their millions of members and millions more who might read their magazines as not being entitled to know the truth.
