 Last
month, in an article headed, “Non-Prophet Organization,” we
quoted Russell, Rutherford, and current Jehovah’s Witnesses
(?) statements re. the end of time, showing they had repeatedly
missed the mark. We have now learned that the typist, working
for our printer, took the liberty of altering our copy. The
printer noticed that the page was not filled, compared the
make-up copy with original, and made necessary restoration, for
which we are grateful. But we want you to examine the
alterations and draw your own conclusions.
In
the original: “The writer hedged on saying this meant “world’s
end would come then,” but he concluded, “So we can be
confident that the end is near…””
The
typist wrote: “The writer concluded, “So we can be confident
that the end is near...”
In
the original:“1975 is past, and so J. W.s are busy trying to
“cover” that failure and “try again.” CAN ANY REALLY
DOUBT THEY HAVE A NON-PROPHET ORGANIZATION?”
The
typist wrote: “1975 is past, and so J. W.s are still trying.
CAN ANY REALLY DOUBT THEY HAVE A NON-PROPHET ORGANIZATION?”
Can
you guess the typist’s religion??

***********************
Some
months back I read a paper, “Neo-Conservatism in Australia.”
The writer cited the June 26, 1952 issue of the Gospel Guardian
to prove that that paper favored Herald of Truth at that time.
It is true that the June 26, ‘52 issue carried an article by
G. K. Wallace, favoring the H. of T. BUT, it was immediately
followed by an article by Robert Farish, replying to Wallace’s
article, and specifically referring to it by name. Is this
honest and responsible journalism? To be charitable, we might
assume the writer was totally unaccustomed to papers that
publish both sides of an issue.
Last
month we carried a front page article about “Prejudicial “History”
found in another current journal. We see no immediate connection
in all of this “hanky panky,” but are appalled that such
examples from our brethren should come to our attention at about
the same time we had our experience re. the Jehovah’s
Witnesses material.
There
is a general degeneration in world morals, which will affect
some brethren. But surely we have a right to expect less carnal,
sectarian spirit than these examples manifest.
