  Need some advice/input for a possible "showdown."

  by robhic in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i asked my jw girlfriend some questions a while back that she was unable to answer so i gave her cites from wts literature to backup my assertions.

  i could see a glimmer of confusion that maybe i had a point.

  now she wants me to just have a nice little chat with her good pioneer friend (black lady, very nice in her mid 50's) to ask the questions so that someone more knowlegeable can take a shot at my queries.. so my question is how should i go about this informal little chat?

  i was told the jw's were predicting a new date based on moses timeline as opposed to daniel and ezekial.

  i don't get the magazines anymore so i don't have the feb. 1st watchtower that i was told the article was in.

  does anyone know the name of this article so i can read it on the watchtower.org?

  Awake on taxes asleep on chronology.

  by shotgun in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if you have a copy of the december awake magazine dealing with taxes note the first page of the article.. the wt uses two quotes to show taxes have been a concern for thousands of years.. the first quote is from a babylonian artifact dated to 2300 bce.

  the problem that presents is that only 69 years previous the world had been destroyed by a global flood according to wt chronology.

  which means that in a mere 69 years noah and his three sons have produced a nation with sufficient infrastructure to require taxation.

  Bethel is Cannanite god

  by peacefulpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the choice to name the headquarters "bethel" is a reflection of the shallow scholarship that plagues the religion as a whole.

  while insisting the name choice is because of the story of jacob resting his head on a sacred stone and having visions of a "ladder" (ziggurat) and thereafter piling stones for el (cannanite chief deity) to reside in, hence the name "bet-el", it seemed they were unaware that the same word "bethel" is the name of a deity possibly equated with chemosh.

  of all the names to call the wt headquarters they chose a pagan deity's name.

  THEY'VE DONE IT!!!! The WBTS set a new date!

  by dmouse in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the latest watchtower, dec 15th 2003, is an out and out attack on the rank and file for dropping into a drowsy state spiritually.

  ok, so armageddon didn't come before the generation of 1914 grew old and died.

  but does that mean that the big a isn't near?
