    I was listening to the CO talk to my wife’s congregation on Sunday and pretty much the complete talk was justifying doctrinal and organizational changes and pretty much preparing the ‘rank and file’ for upcoming changes. Anyone on hear have any insight of what ‘new light’ is coming in the future?

    If there are changes, they can just add them to the list of changes that were made from the time I got baptized in 1969 up to this day.

    I think they want to realise the cash that they have got tied up in the halls around the world. That been said it’s a case of money vs control.

    Thev can change 607 BC to 586 which is the actual year of overthrow of Theocracy from Jerusalem, according to all reliable SOURCES INCLUDING JEWISH ENCYCLOPEDIA, and reach 1935 as the end of gentile period.

    This is a long-awaited correction which, if done, would prove them to be humble, thus really God’s organization.

    Simply put: 539-70=609, not 586.

    It is Jew's history (not Jesus history). Typing error regretted.

    "Babylonians occupied the Land of Israel and exiled the Yehudim (Judeans, or Jews), as captives into Babylon. Some 50 years later, the Persian Empire (ancient Iran) conquered the Babylonian Empire and allowed the Jews to return home to the land of Israel. But, offered freedom under Persian rule and daunted by the task of rebuilding a society that lay in ruins, most Jews remained in Babylon." (https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jews-of-the-middle-east)

    See Jew's history says "after 50 years." But

    Bible speaks of 70 years (instead of 50 years). Such chronological discrepancies are not unusual in the Bible when much of it was written from a later period. Even book of Genesis was written either during or after Israel's monarchy, shows Genesis 36:31 itself where we find reference to "kings of Israel."

    Even JWs own Bible, New World Translation, removed spurious portions such as John 8:2-11. If certain untruth can creep in, it means Chronological inconsistencies too can occur.

    Not so for the purpose of accuracy:

    537 BCE-70 years= 607 BCE
