Has timing ever caused Jehovah's Witnesses to misunderstand the Bible? Yes, but when God's came to make matter clearer, the Witnesses readily adjusted their understanding. They believe that they thereby imitate Christ's apostles, who humbly adjusted their thinking whenever Jesus corrected them. - ACTS 1:6, 7.
A little girl's fanciful ideas about where clouds come from may be just a small misunderstanding. However, what the Bible teaches is of major importance to you. The Bible's message is too importat for anyone to try to understand on his own by Bible reading. So seek help to understand what you are reading. Seek out those who study the Bible with a humble attitude, people who rely on God's holy spirit to understand the Bible, people who are convinced that we are living at a point in history when God wants us to understand the Bible as never before. Do not hesitate to speak with Jeovah's Witnesses or to read their careful research on the jw.org website. The Bible promises: "If you call out for understanding . . . , you will find the knowledge of God." - PROVERBS 2:3-5.
