Better check again. I just looked and its debts and debtors.

And I'm not going nuts, no aliens, or govt conspiracy I just am fascinated by it all. There's a ton of other examples.

Trespass versus debt is a translation choice.

Trespass was more common in my youth, now I'm hearing debt more and more.

Another bible one is the lords prayer. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us is what I learned. But apparently its always been forgive our debts as we forgive our debtors.
I seen both. Went to an Episcopalian school for 9 years growing up and went to chapel every day. The Lords Prayer we said included trespasses.

We use to call it "gossip", but maybe that was the "girlie" name. A whole group of us would sit in a circle and whisper something and the last person it was whispered to would say it out loud. Regardless, it was never the same.

The madela effect is supposedly different than that. It's an entire huge section of the population that has the fact wrong. But they all have it wrong the same exact way. Like.... How many people used to watch "sex in the city"? I have personally never watched it, but I (and supposedly nearly everyone) have the name of that show wrong.

Or Berenstein bears is the other big one. I (and nearly everyone) always pronounced it "bear-a-steen". But that is wrong.

I had a guy at work a few months ago talking about this same thing and he mentioned the same examples that Brad just gave. It's crazy when you really think about it.

Yeah its fascinating to me that so many people could have things wrong in the same way. Another one for me is the color chartreuse. I would swear it was a pink color but its really yellow-green.
I would swear there were 4 people in the car JFK was shot in but there were 6. Things like that.

I went to church for 20 years straight and never heard debts and debtors until last week. My wife swears she had trespass etc on an embroidered picture growing up but if you look it up it was always debts. Just weird.

Would "the great wall of China is the only manmade object that can be seen from space" count?

Which, of course, is complete crap. But is seems like many people think that.

There's a lot of geography ones too. A lot of people remember south america as directly under US, but it's farther east than Florida. Japan is way closer to south korea, Australia is further north, Sri Lanka is huge, the north pole ice is gone and people say Santa lives in Finland not north pole. They must teach different than when I was in school lol.

See I have vivid memories of all the examples I gave but none of them are correct. I also find it very weird that if you Google "wolf lays down with the lamb" most of the pictures are of lions and lambs not wolves.

I don't believe this falls into the Mandela Effect category as Google tries it's best to match the terms you search for. "____ lays down wiht the lamb" will bring up the lions a lot more than anything else you put in there, wolves or other, simply because they exist a lot more.

Another bible one is the lords prayer. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us is what I learned. But apparently its always been forgive our debts as we forgive our debtors.

I believe this also does not fall into the Mandela Effect as teachings and interpretations change over time. As ADG points out, trespass vs debts is a tranlsation choice. I guarandamntee you, all my years in the Catholic system through the 70's and 80's it was "trespass". They may have changed it since, but that's what it was.

I was going to start a new thread about the Mandela Effect but I’ll just revive this one…
