So I am going thru my boxes of cult books making them ready for Ebay when I come across a book called, "Man's Salvation Out of World Distress at Hand!." (A Freddy book I believe) It was published in 1975 and owned by my Dad who was quite a JW student before his eyes opened.
Anyway, I'm checking condition of the book and on page 208, paragraph 8 he has made a notation to the left of the paragraph. Scanners not working so I will type out part of the paragraph. It reads....
8 It is the fake "kingdom of heavens," the counterfeit, namely, Christendom, that is filled with these symbolic birds, "the sons of the wicked one." Today it is big enough to hold them all. In the parable, the "man" that sowed the mustard grain pictures the "wicked one," Satan the Devil. Outstandingly in the fourth century C.E. Satan the Devil planted or specially cultivated this symbolic "mustard grain" of contaminated, adulterated, imitation Christianity.
My Dad made a note on the side that says..."corrected in Oct. 1 1975 WT. "man" is Christ, not Satan."
It seems strange since both were in 1975.
I do not remember any of this, being a rebellious teenager and not giving a rat's ass about it at the time. My question is, Was that a typo in the book or a corrected thinking? Thanks.
