    You know, all it would take is a letter to a Branch Office from a JW in 'good standing' or preferably a serving elder.

    Any takers?

    I love how they are just tied to 539 in so many ways. It, along with their own dates regarding the length of the reigns of the neo-Babylonian kings, totally debunks their most important date of 1914.

    They suck. No wonder Lance was Awakened at Gilead. The BS is deeper there than anywhere else in the Borg, evidently.

    Hehe. That picture is the back of my head. That's Wally Liverance. Talking about the 7000 years. I know who took that picture too.

    All I can tell you after 6 years is that uh, he had it wrong. ;)

    Hi AllTimeJeff.

    I heard (or read) that Liverance is no longer a Gilead school instructor.

    I wonder what is being taught now at Gilead concerning the 7000 year period.

    Hey VM44

    Yes, Liverance and Bowen are no longer instructors. I think they got kicked off the island.

    I am not sure what if anything is being taught about the 7000 years.

    AllTimeJeff, the doctrine was dropped. Most of JWs is not aware of it, but today it is taught that Eve was created more than 6000 yrs ago. I can give you a quote from the WT if you want.

    I never understood the 7,000 year creative days - even as a kid. Never believed them, either, because of the scientific problem. (the ENORMOUS scientific problem)

    I never even understood the so-called "biblical chronology" that made a "day" into "seven thousand years" -

    For example why didn't the bible just say 7,000 years in the first place? Typical witness answer - well, maybe back then people couldn't understand big numbers like 7,000 so god just said a day. Fine - except that they apparantly understood people living 939 years and such...

    And then, why wasn't it 1,000 years instead of 7,000 years - "a day is like a thousand years"; but there isn't any scripture comparing a day to seven thousand years?

    Dead total silence - just believe it.

    I guess Freddy's 1975 machinations knocked it out of their constipated minds.

    I would like to see the quote please. I can't find anything on it after 2005 when it was last being taught.

    *** w10 11/15 p. 25 par. 7 Jehovah Is Our Sovereign Lord! ***
    More than 6,000 years ago, a spirit creature challenged the rightfulness of Jehovah’s sovereignty.
