  Hello - I was talking recently with my family on the 607/587 topic, and my mother asked me to read the latest defense from the WT through their 2 part article this past year. Anyway, I remember seeing something on the site that I thought did a great job refuting that, more specifically, one of the professors used by the WT who had wrote an email or something stating the WT misquoted her - does this ring a bell???

  I made light mention of this, and of course my parents said that was impossible - but this time they left the door open to re-discuss the issue in that they told me if I could find such a reference they would let me show them.

  I really hope someone knows where this is.

  It was a rebuttal by Doug Mason.

  one of the professors used by the WT who had wrote an email or something stating the WT misquoted her - does this ring a bell???

  Seems like a few weeks back there was a female sociologist or something that the WTS misquoted over the pedophile issue.

  What everyone gave me was great, but there is actually 1 particular Dr. who I thought someone had an email from - Eilat Mazar, from the Hebrew University. I actually emailed the school today seeking her email address...maybe she is open to answering a direct question.

  Dr. Mazar had a PBS documentary that contained specific information related to a royal seal the WT used info from, while making a statement that would leave the reader believing Mazar found this new piece of evidence that certainly supported 607CE. I mean, it was a real "piece of work" (i could use another word) the WT wrote in a quasi quote.

  Has anyone considered starting a "class-action" lawsuit against the WT for these people used in their writings - not a lawsuit for money - but to have a judge sign a judgment placing an injunction barring them from future journalistic malpractice? What they are doing is illegal, since these people would seriously be discredited in their respective fields if their colleges read the WT and thought people like Dr. Mazar supported a date like 607CE. This really crosses a line into flat out defamation.

  Hi johnnyprc, It doesn't hurt to contact Dr. Mazar and let her know what the WTBTS is doing, but I am sure the WTBTS would do damage control and spin it to their benefit.

  Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,
