While I didn't really take Mander's book that seriously, I did take "Babylon Mystery Religion" seriously at the time. I even bought "The Two Babylons", the book that Woodrow adapted to make his own book. Interesting how twi never promoted its sequel, "The Babylon Connection", which largely corrected errors of the previous book and repudiated the previous position. There were a few pages that weren't repudiated, but the book as a whole was. Since that was inconvenient for twi, it was never mentioned- even though it was true. In twi, rhetoric ABOUT the truth was and is always more important than the truth itself.
