    If the Governing Body could turn back time and do a rewrite or change their past teachings what would be their top priority ?

    Would they have to eliminate everything and start again?

    Any one want to tell them what to shred before forensics arrive?

    Aluminum pots and pans would never have been mentioned.

    Anti-vaccine rhetoric would never have been mentioned.

    Yes..

    I wonder if the G B ever allow themselves to muse and say " If only we had never made an issue over blood? (sigh!)

    and the wife would sure like to receive a birthday present.....

    They had the opportunity in the 1970's when Carl Jonson sent them his treatise over 607BCE and asking for change. They ignored it and df'ed him and anyone else who agreed with him, icluding one of their own GB members (Ray Franz). I can't see it ever happening.

    Rutherford managed a pretty thorough reinvention of the Watchtower movement. Being a rather disagreeable character he alienated most of those who remained loyal to Russell's ideas. And those who persevered under Rutherford were mostly disillusioned by the fiasco of 1925. That left him free to build a new movement which he distanced from both mainstream christianity and the continuing Bible Students.

    Hey Rob I enjoyed your book Counting the Days to Armageddon. I read it years ago. It doesn't get the mention it deserves. Good to have you with us.

    With a little research into the Watchtower religion it becomes obvious that they made mistake after mistake all the way through their history and if the current leaders can't see it then they are either dishonest or stupid.

    How do they sleep at night?

    Hi, Slimboyfat - glad you enjoyed my book. I'm still writing, but strictly fiction only now.
