Here's the thing: I don't even think the quote was falsified by reading further down. Russell seemed to simply added some qualifying backtracking to cover himself.

Jehovah's Witnesses Do Not Believe in Freedom of Religion
by xjwsrock inthis statement may seem odd at first.
you may think of jehovah's witnesses as being an american religion in a country where freedoms exist and are prized.
you may think of the organization's legal battles in the supreme court to protect certain rights and freedoms.

Agreed on the OP.
"Freedom of religion" seems to grant freedoms more to religious organizations than to individual religious adherents. Cults take advantage of this.

Most "apostates" would love to be fact checked.
Speaking for myself, if I'm wrong, show me where and I will correct it. Don't take my word for it! Look up the references in context. Research never harms truth.

Often times, Russell often said two different things at the same time, in a very meandering way of speaking.

They Don't Have A Secret Elder's Book
by pale.emperor in"they don't have a secret elder's book" so said my mother.
"all of our publications are open to everyone.
we all have the same information and nothing is hidden in this religion.".

My father was an elder, so I knew there was an elder book that non-elders were forbidden look at. And for some reason, I complied without question.
I wasn't aware not everyone knew this until waking up.

A Kingdom Hall Visit OR an Evening at Bill Cosby's Home
by OnTheWayOut inremember that this is humor.
rape is wrong.so really, i would rather go to bill cosby's home for an evening (and to be fair, even a gay version of bill cosby) than go to the kingdom hall.. at both, you would know that your hosts would keep the conversation clean.
bill stays on the high road (while speaking).

Like the telephone game, some things get might be getting lost or mixed up from person to person.
If true, hopefully someone will resurrect this thread.

"Who is Morris III?" Showed up in an FB thread--A surprising answer followed.
by oppostate inor maybe not so surprising after all, you be the judge....

Morris is a common enough last name. I would like the see evidence.
Of course, I could see it now. New light: Only smoking other brands of cigarettes is a DFing offence.

When did "The Truth" become "The Truth"?
by stuckinarut2 init struck me that while the society and witnesses in general use the expression "the truth" for being a witness, it opens a can of worms..... i mean, when did the society become "the truth"?
after all, as we well know (and feel free to list examples please), the doctrines and teachings, and procedures have changed so much since the organisation started, that what was once "truth" is no longer so and vice versa..... maybe the conversation between jesus and pilate was correct : "what is truth?
".

That is a good thinking question to ask a JW.
I'm sure official doctrine would say 1919.
