Sometimes I really liked the ENTIRE meeting. I wrote some really good poetry in the margins of the magazines and drew some really interesting pictures during those two hour sessions. Some of the best art springs forth from repression! Of course if I wasn't drawing or writing, it was the worst experience of my life. oh yeah...definately the end on those occasions.

67What did you actually enjoy about JW meetings?
by Pinned Blouse in.
as much as i dreaded going to all the meetings there were things that i did enjoy.. 1. no special parking spaces for the elders, etc.. 2. no collections plate going around the room.
3. no one person giving the talk every single week (can you imagine the same speaker 3 to 4 times a week, every day?

I wrote to her: 'as you had suggested I wanted to do some research. I didnt really know where to start. but I kinda just picked something. I started looking up 1914 in some of the books and the insight book. so I got that 1914 was calculated by the account in daniel where they took the seven times and applied each for a 365 day year which gave them 2520 years and that amount of years counted back from 1914 was 607 bc which marked the fall of jerusalem....ok, so I got that. so I looked up the account of the fall of jerusalem in the books and 607 was the date. then I looked jerusalem up online and in this encyclopedia and stuff and they all pointed to 586 or 587 being the date when babylonians took jeruslaem. did something happen in between which accounted for 607? let me know what you find.' She responded with: 'The 2520 years is calculated using 360 day years, since the Jews used the lunar calender. Just a small point. But the year 607 is counted back 70 years from the pivotal date of 539 when historians and Biblical history pinpoint Cyrus' destruction of Babylon. You can find info on pivotal dates, especially 539 in the All Scriptures Inspired book pages 282, paragraphs 28 and 29 and pg. 285, para. 5. If you don't have the SI book. let me know and I will e-mail you the info. In the Insight, pgs. 453-4 and 458, under Babylonian Chronology (vol. 1) and in vol. 2, pg. 459, under "Nabonidus" you will find secular evidence of the year 539 for Cyrus destruction of Babylon. It was shortly after that, in 537 bce, that Cyrus released the Jews to return to Jerusalem, thus ending the 70 year desolation, but not, of course, the "gentile times", that is the period of time that the gov't. rule without a ruler on God's throne.' Her response to my question completely confused me, which I am sure was its purpose. If you have any suggestions as to what to say in response or any details that might clear up the matter in my own mind, it would be much appreciated. THANK YOU!
