  How to debunk the 1914 calculus ONLY using JW publications?

  by psyco in

  i remember having read somewhere, but i cannot find it anymore, that it is possible to debunk the 1914 calculus using only jw publications, like "insight on the scriptures" (chronologies) for example.. do you have any sources about that to suggest to me?.

  thanks..

  How about tomorrow we analyze that story, or should I say stories.

  The Bible says he did. The Bible says that Judah went into Babylon exile for 70 years.

  but not all of us believe that every Jewish survivor of the conquest of Jerusalem and Judah went into exile in Babylon. Furthermore, not all of us believe that all of Judah was totally desolate (with no Jewish population at all) for exactly 70 years.

  You mean that Moses did not part the red sea—only part of it.

  Prediction of Watchtower in a Few Years

  kingdom halls will be the thing of the past.. conventions (mini assembly halls will still be going on) but will charge for attending and parking and always a donation.

  elders will play a much smaller role since csa.

  cart preaching will replace door to door.

  They will try to reinvent themselves possibly

  They are not unconvinced because the eschatology is not happening as believed. But it does seem that the JW preaching work is coming to an end compared to years ago.

  why are we interested in what is going on in the JW

  by enoughisenough in

  2. beliefs

  for the most of us, we have left the jws...and even though we are no longer jw, many of us are still interested in their beliefs, doctrines and practices as currently practiced.

  i was trying to sort out in my mind why i still care about what they are doing.

  i think the answer to that is a hope that something will develop in the jws that will wake up a lot of others, and selfishly, a lot of my friends.

  i don’t think you would give that same latitude

  Of course I can, objectively. For example I don’t reject substance here because an unbeliever is standing on it. You would have to define corruption.

  JW's have their traditions, but like any successful movement, they will have to adapt

  D2D is a 1A right that I am sure was not handed to JW on a silver plater, JW blood was spilled for it and JW are never, ever, ever going to surrender it, I dare to guess.

  To DJW

  after the completion of the removal of people into exile took place ...."

  Great research! To quote Bill Shakespear:

  “…..corruption…”

  Not corruption. Human imperfection, yes—even inexcusable.

  Thus Judah went into exile from off the soil.

  Thank you for factoring that in.

  This is a friendly and kind discussion but Sun Tzu applies:

  “Thus those skilled in the art of the bait bring the opponent to the battlefield instead of being brought there by him.” Sun Tzu, The Art of War

  Like Scholar and myself have been saying all along, the context of the Bible supports 70 desolation.

  replace Door to Door

  Never!!!!!

  This will only stop when Armageddon comes or if JW can be utterly defeated. Other than that it will never ever stop.

  How do you know what people think of me?

  How can you say that if you were really an elder—let alone a JW. Everybody knows that an elder that is deleted for whatever excuse is disrespected period—pretend as you wish. Anybody that was an elder or a jw agrees with me. Either you are fooling yourself or never was a JW. When you stop being sn elder you are back to being a pawn and you are not respected. Any façade of respect from the cong is a pretense. You will hear remarks from those you slighted now that you are on the same level.
