This thread could be used regularly for people looking for specific quotations from Watchtower literature.
Right now I'm looking for a quotation which says it is the duty of clergy to point out errors in WT messages.
There is also one which says that religions which claim to offer salvation to millions should allow scrutiny.
There have definitely been quotes lately that have said ‘about 1914’ instead of just saying 1914 as they always used to.

too. *

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Boogerman!
" should be willing to submit to scrutiny and criticism. " Except J.W's they think and act, because they "have the truth".......... in their uneducated minds.
