Fine, think what you want. My contention is based upon facts, my problem is that I cannot show you the evidence, it does not mean that the evidence does not exist. In other words, the matter is established to those who know them, but not to anyone else. If you care to read back you will notice that my earlier response indicated that the facts were not well known. Have I ever contended differently?
Also, to J you said:
I never heard any of them even suggest that letter writing, to petition for a change in doctrine, would even be conceivable, let alone something that they would do. The only time that I know of letters being written were to clarify the teachings of the WBTS, and not to ask for a change.
That just does not cut the mustard. An example of that very thing indeed happening can be found in article entitled Questions From Readers. Frequently changes in WTS teaching have been found in those article. Isn�t the article entitlement any admission at all to you? Countless JWs have written such questions accompanied with suggested revisions and they have been accepted.
Like I said before, think what you want. But don�t expect those knowing better to discount facts they are well aware of.
