Flogging the Vat 4956 horse

i'm just curious about something & wonder if the experts could help.. basically i am documenting all of the main lines of evidence for the jws being the one & then investigating each claim systematically.. i have now reached the dreaded november 1st, 2011 watchtower & am sitting in front of a copy of cartes du ciel and a babylonian calendar converter i found at http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~gent0113/babylon/babycal_converter.htm.

i realise these claims have been challenged and documented in depth elsewhere, but i'm keen to do my own research rather than copy & paste.

my question is regarding date conversion - when inputting the gregorian dates as given at the bottom of the tablet's translation i found at http://www.caeno.org/pdf/f019_translation.pdf then the lunar positions all seemed pretty close (visually, i wasn't dealing with exact degrees here).

Four Blood Moons might be significant

the bible does say that the "day of jehovah" (armageddon) would be associated with the sun becoming dark followed by the moon turning to blood.

but the moon turning to blood is specific to a total lunar eclipse.

When does God intervene in the affairs of mankind?
by abiather in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
though many sages have tried to describe god and his purpose, the best they could do was to declare neti, neti (not this, not this).

to the question of god, even buddha responded with silence!

jesus declared: truth will set you free but did not say what that truth is!

The bible has lost its validity...
by ADJUSTMENTS in
1. watchtower
2. bible
the bible has lost its luster during this age of information so many real truths have been brought to light with the help of the internet, that the bible just isn't looked upon the same if at all anymore.

if you can still cling to the bible after thorough research then "god bless you"!

(no pun intended).

8TH KING RISING

1. watchtower
2. bible
per jws the un is the scarlet-colored wild beast that becomes the 8th king just before armageddon.

it is interesting to see how the un is becoming more and more an authority in the world with obama clearly the leader and supporter of globalism.

plus obama is always saying "peace and security.

2. bible
to me its a great example of a totalitarian government's ability to manage information and keep us in the dark; .

all right it was a long time ago.

should we just forget about it?.

The power of thought
by Doug Mason in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i find it so interesting to see the intensity that results from intangible thoughts.

no one living today has any personal direct experience with the people who wrote and rewrote the jews' and christians' scriptures.

all that people have is in their imagination, yet they will demand that others have the identical mental model.. people are prepared to fight and argue over ideas, to the point of torture and murder.
