"YK is his name, false prophecy is his game"
WT feb 1, 1971. page 69:
.."Men of this world offer you nothing stable, nothing sure,their promises and predictions of better things have failed time and again"...
Right there on the first page I opened.
flick..flick..

"YK is his name, false prophecy is his game"
The most convoluted, incomprehensible article ever published in any Watchtower?.
Here it is.
WT December 1, 1971.

An interpretation of the 2300 days of Daniel. Too bizarre. Too fucked up even to attempt to quote it here.check it out TR.
A classic.
WT July, 1880. Article:"New and Old"
....."What was true at any time in the past must be true yet...if it is not true now, instead of being advanced light then, it was terrible darkness...We have sometimes been accused...that the way to advance was to displace the truth we learned yesterday by new truth learned today...we utterly repudiate the absurd charge"...
Thanks, refiner. I'll check it out.

Wasn't that someone's nickname?

21 How is such independent thinking manifested? A common way is by questioning the counsel that is provided by God's visible organization.
(same pg at the top)
More people are disfellowshipped for sexual immorality than for all other reasons combined.
WT Dec. 1, 1981 pg 27
However, it may have seemed to some as though that path has not always gone straight forward.
This might be compared to what is known in navigational circles as "tacking."
(even the most devout rolls their eyes at this one)
