What was Jesus doing before 1878?...too many injustices were committed in the world and continued to happen after that year. If that is his kingdom, I prefer to be agnostic.

Russell's chronology was right after all!
by Vanderhoven7 inthe kingdom of god is already begun, which is pointed out in prophecy as due to begin the exercise of power in a.d. 1878, and that the "battle of the great day of god almighty" which will end in 1914 with the complete overthrow of the earth's present rulership, is already commenced.. i just did the math....and russell was right.
christ returned invisibly in 1874 and took rulership (restored kingdom reign) in 1878.. 2520 years minus 607 when jerusalem was destroyed = 1913 (accounting for no year zero) = 1914. that`s 2520 - 607 = 2014. but wait, that`s 2520 prophetic years of 360 days, not solar days of 365.25 days.
to convert to solar days then one must multuiply 2520 x 365.25 which gives us 2,484 actual years.

"If a member of the media or an attorney representing the accused contacts the elders, they should not give him any information about the case or verify that there is a judicial committee"
The above words clearly reveal the illegal nature of a judicial committee.

Today the two elders who stalked my sister were absent at the Prosecutor's citation.
They were waited for 1 hour, but they did not come. This attitude favors their culpability.
They were notified to attend the interrogatory, but they simply ignored the citation.
It seems that they were instructed by the Bethel Branch to avoid this interrogatory.
However, the prosecutor said that they were notified for this unique citation and they will be notified for this absence too. Accordingly, my sister will receive from the prosecutor a document protecting her, in which the two elders can't approach her again. Furthermore, my sister gave to the prosecutor a copy of the book “Shepher the flock of God”, and showed him some portions. One of these portions says that the elders must not admit to any journalist or attorney the existence of a judiciary committee. So, he was surprised and said that this is an interesting document to be analyzed and considered just in case.
While waiting the elders, my sister was accompained by her boss, who is an old woman, who leads a high school. She became also very surprised when my sister showed her the judiciary procedures of the book of the elders, and especially after reading the following Watchtower's words (of the 1981 Spanish version):
Persons who make themselves "not of our sort" by deliberately rejecting the faith and beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses should appropriately be viewed and treated as are those who have been disfellowshiped for wrongdoing.

The Study does not prove the historicity of the stories in the Book of Exodus, for instance. It only suggests that there could be manuscripts before the Babylonian siege because there was literacy, but, as we can observe, different and contradictory stories were compiled to form the first five books of the Bible. -

For instance, it is believed that the story of Genesis in which the world is created in 6 days was invented to support the theological doctrine about the Sabbath. The same seems to be happened with some other doctrines, they were placed as received by Moses, in the book of Exodus, so as to support later policies invented by scribes. -

I think that some stories of the OT came from periods before the Babylonian siege, however, they were tampered and edited by the scribes in the time of Ezra. And of course, the book of Daniel is a forgery of the second century before Christ.
