  Spade:

  The sign that indicate we're living in the “last days” is composite. It's only been in the 20th century that there was two World Wars and a global terrorist threat. It's only been in the 20th century that we've had the technology to "ruin the earth."

  You're begging the question. You had pestilence, famine, destructive earthquakes, etc all within a generation's lifetime, killing a greater percentage of the world's population than that of the generation that was born since 1914... Oh wait a minute. I forgot that the light got brighter! There no longer is a time frame with which to measure a "generation".

  In any case, any major destruction in the future will come from Global Warming which is not predicted in the Bible any more than terrorism is. The technology that led to the release of Carbon Dioxide, which eventually led to Global Warming, began during the Industrial Revolution. That started in the late 18th century.

  Also, the technology to "ruin the earth", from your point of view, I presume, is your reference to nuclear weapons. They were not invented in 1914.

  But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time for the dead to be judged, and to give [their] reward to your slaves the prophets and to the holy ones and to those fearing your name, the small and the great, and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.” Revelation 11:18
  
  If the world was always free from the calamities described in Matthew 24:4-14 and 2 Timothy 3:1-7 that indicate we're living in the last days, there would be no need for divine intervention in the first place.

  Jesus second advent is up to interpretation (if it has happened or will happen), the bible also speaks of the destruction of earth and heavens which does not indicated if it will be through divine or natural cause. But 607BCE can be debunked, I have not quoted what I read in the book, about the linkage of Jeremiah with Daniel and Revelation.

  The challenge from Alleymom is quite simple. She stated “Just go by the actual kings, whose names and regnal lengths are known from tens of thousands of cuneiform tablets from many different towns and villages all over southern Mesopotamia.”
  
  I would have to see these tens of thousands of cuneiform tablets for myself.

  Allymom only used the Watchtower's own statements from it's own literature produced by it's own 'scholars' to produce her list.

  You are the one that needs to find cuniform tablets that demonstrate that the Watchtower was wrong to make the statements that Allymom used.

  Get digging.

  One large part of this so-called composite sign is that oxygen thieves such as yourself Alice Rachel can come on a public forum like this and spew your vomit with no repercussions. You have absolutely no worth to anyone.

  You are right, the forum is public and my statements are clean and undefiled. I don't know what kind of punishment I should receive for sharing my beliefs in a mutual exchange of knowledge, but it sounds threatening to me. Right now I'm having a beer. I suggest you do the same. In the meantime the “public forum” places a safe distance between people like me and people like you.

  Your beliefs kill people. Your beliefs help child rapists. Your beliefs rip families apart. Your beliefs cause young and old to kill themselves. Your beliefs cause mothers and fathers to let their children die. Your beliefs are an abhorrent and dangerous thing that needs to be expunged from the face of the earth.

  Safe distance indeed.

  These extreme viewpoints can be held against anyone's beliefs.

  We're not talking about the Crusades or the Inquisition. We're talking about Jehovah's F***ing Witnesses!

  And everything I said is true, which makes you a part of it and a murderer by association. You're a murderer.
