The most egregious example of a speaker's 'divine inspiration' being overruled upon further consideration (a 'more divine inspiration'?) is Ronald E. Poelman's 1984 (zouds! how remarkable that this reworking took place that year...) Conference talk.
It was not only rewritten before being published in the Improvement Era, but also re-videoed, complete with a cough-track, and then the original and the re-do were spliced together.
It's what Jesus wanted, so ... And you can't be blaming Jesus or Holy McGhost for allowing the flawed original to be delivered! They can't be everywhere you know. What? They can!? But then... Now I'm confused!
