  Just been looking heavily into WT quotes today to see their swings and roundabouts version of 'truth', and I came across this. Bearing in mind that the Revelation book has recently had a spruce up and 70 adjustments needed to be added...:

  "In 1930, two volumes entitled “Light” were published, which brought a more up-to-date explanation of the Revelation, and very recently, in 1963, the book “Babylon the Great Has Fallen!” God’s Kingdom Rules!, a book of 704 pages. This provides an extensive and detailed commentary on Revelation, chapters 14 to 22 particularly.

  All these publications have received worldwide distribution and have not been revised or altered to please the religious beliefs nor the customs and practices of different peoples of earth. No, the unadulterated truth of the prophecy has been proclaimed to all."

  Not to mention all the edits and re-issues of Russell's publications to remove his failed 1914 predictions....

  For example (from this thread):

  The original (pre-1914) printing of The Time is at Hand reads: "...the full end of their lease of dominion, will be reached in A.D. 1914; and that that date will be the farthest limit of the rule of imperfect men." (pg 76-66)

  Later (post-1914) printings of The Time is at Hand read: "...the full end of their lease of dominion, will be reached in A.D. 1914; and that that date will see the disintegration of the rule of imperfect men." (pg 76-66)

  Hey, they DIDN'T revise or alter those publications to please the religious beliefs or customs and practices of different peoples of earth.

  They altered them to please themselves...
