    He got the date 1914 by an honest study of the Bible???

    I didn't say it was an honest study, just much more study than the average rank and file today.

    Sab: "After some heated discussion my brother told me that "he needed to do more Bible study because he felt weak.""

    What did he mean by "weak"? If he means, "unable to refute clearly stated logic", he also needs to replace the statement "do more Bible study" with "run and hide from facts". Thus what your brother really was telling you was...

    "he needed to run and hide from facts because he felt unable to refute clearly stated logic."

    The founders were much closer to studying the artifact than current day Witnesses.

    Agreed, afterall, Russel advocated studying the actual bible, not WT literature and trying to justify that literature with selected passages of the bible taken out of context.

    You search the internet with the Bible at hand and ask God for guidance . I would recommend right now since the time is winding down and the year 2011 AD is being predicted as the time for the return of Jesus and the end of the world you go to these two websites :

    http://www.focusonthebible2011.com and http://www.familyradio.com

    Harold Camping from the Famoly Radio is my best opponent and yet I am very interested in his explanations of the Bible on his fabulous Open Forum program you can listen even by the internet from the website I gave above.

    I wrote many posts on alt.religion.jehovahs-witn ( a google group ) I recommend you visist often as we approach the year 2011 AD.

    Compare what Harold Camping is teaching to what I am teaching using the Bible all the time and asking God for help .

    If you hear about someone making a prediction based on the Bible examine that person's views .

    The bible is pretty clear on people predicting the end - Not to believe them and not to do it.

    It is God's dominion.

    Rerun on ol' Harold...

    Perhaps this is the same Harold Camping who, in 1992, wrote "1994?" ?

    1994

    Let's see, did Christ return in 1994?
    Evidently, Jesus understanding of complex mathmatical equations isn't as advanced as Mr. Camping's.
    Oh well, he's just an imperfect man that's spirit "guided", who didn't claim to be a prophet.
    But you'd better believe what he says about 2011, or God'll kill ya!!

    However...

    Sir Isaac Newton, one of the most influential men in history, knew that the end of the world wouldn't come before 2060 A.D. So far, he's been 100% accurate about that!

    He was predicting the year 1994 AD but you don't see the question mark in the title or so ?

    He is asked and attacked on his Open Forum program on this issue and he answers very well .

    He is not predicting now . The May,21,2011 AD is declared by him as 100% certainty !He doesn't question the date at all !

    If you don't listen order the book " We Are Almost There " or read on the internet from the website or also you can listen to Open Forum.

    He is very good at answering can we know the time when Jesus comes back .

    If you are not in endtime mood chances are slim you are a child of God.

    People quote Matthew 24.36 but they don't go further in the same chapter : Matthew 24.37-39 : Noah knew the time when the Flood will strike the earth.

    Matthew 24.45-50 : good servant of Lord will know the time .

    And yet Jesus own words say that it is not anyones place to know the end of times except for God.

    Come May 22 of next year, I'm sure there will be a new 100% certain prediction, if the guy's still around.

    Harry Camping, the dude is 89 years old and cut from crazier cloth than Chuck Russell, Freddie Franz, and Herbie Armstrong.

    PSac,

    Didn't Jesus say something about putting a question mark "?" behind your prediction so that you can cover your a$s when you're wrong.
