Like Farks says; newer readers may not be aware of scholar's background. He's a WT apologist who claims university qualifications in "Religion Studies" from Australian universities. At one time he used more bandwidth to substantiate his assertions but, of late, has resorted to simple unsubstantiated opinions.
The Society's defence of the sacred date is commendable
Opinion
The explanation of how this year is calculated is simple and functionary as it directly proves the significance of 1914
Opinion
The calculation of the calendrical year 607 stands in mark contrast to the convolutions and deception promoted in the Jonsson hypothesis and by theories of higher critics.who can only suggest the useless dates of 586 or 587.
Opinion
And that's the extent of the post. No real discussion at all, is there? A simple assertion that the teachings of the WTS are correct and all other opinions are discounted.
Now scholar, if you really were interested in the Truth and not simply "the Troof", you'd be far more willing and able to give some support to what you say. You'd also be interested in providing seekers of Truth with help, wouldn't you? As I've oft said to you, if you're sincere, then why are you here? You've failed to let me know your congregation so that I can inform the elders who will "lovingly shepherd" you.
As for the final part of your post:
scholar
BA MA Studies in Religion
Is this the mark of a "true christian" (in Watchtower parlance)?
For the benefit of newer readers of this board, let it be known that there may be posters here with similar, if not superior, credentials but they are more modest.
In short, caveat emptor (let the buyer beware).
