put aside all of the 607 b.c.e., there is another question that i'm not familiar with and mabyee some of you know what there explanation is, or if they don't even address the issue.
we are all familiar with the account in daniel chapter five, and nebuchadnezzars dream about the tree.
daniels explanation of this dream begins: .
The WTBTS is very slick at moving from a quick comment to using it as truth.
I always thought it was strange how they say that nothing significant happened at the time of Nebuchadnezzar, so their for this is the bases for the 1914 date and their authority.
i have been trying to become a member of this site for weeks!
i started "lurking" soon after andersoninfo's big news.
i couldn't believe my timing!
Welcome looking for truth, hope to hear about your experiences in future posts.
my family and i stopped being active witnesses some 3 and a half years ago.
we did the fade thing, thus we are neither das nor df.
before we stopped, i served as an elder.
There was no hint that perhaps your sister is falling away also?
What ever it is good that you both can still love one another.
judas thomas is known to the world as jesus brother.
most all bible scholars have no problem with this, what is of interest to me is a matter of controversy the translation of didymos used before his name in the greek manuscripts didymos literally translates into english as twin.
if you take the bible as the true gospel of gods hand then jesus had a twin brother.
I can show you just as many post here is one for exsample. ; http://www.rense.com/general66/hide.htm ;What you have to ask yourself does the person have something he is trying to protect? One must be completly open mind with no bias.
They may be protecting or they may be trying to prove something for their own self gain. Most of the posters here are fimiliar with WTBS quoting and/or misrepresenting references for their self gain.
i can't stand it i got to post.
the grand canyon actually disprove creationist because granit rock is the toughest of rocks found on earth.

Guess there are always two sides to every story:
i wanted to share with people my story about the witnesses.
when i was five my mother had been searching for a new religion.
she was brought up catholic and didn't understand the church.
Welcome Dave and thanks for your story.
Just a thought that maybe they (the JWs) were showing their love by not interfering with your plans. I would think that they could have tried to make you give her a JW ceremony.
.
jesus said that his followers would be persecuted like he was.. so, are the jw's more persecuted than any other religions, and if so why?
Jesus said that his diciples would be persecuted for his name. How many JWs are out there preaching the name of Jesus?
Are you counting diliberate miquotes and misrepresentation?
i have been a jw all my life, my sister and i are now in our late twenties and are so unhappy and after desparate attempts to keep up meeting attendance are not spiritually motivated.
we in last few weeks have found some very disturbing things in our search such as the un involvement.
after research on these things and use of the wt library the society speaks for it's self on these issues calling the un the "disgusting thing" that the book of daniel spoke about(wt 85' para.
Welcome amommy,
It is not an organization, but one idividual. In answer to Thomas' question in John 14:5 - 5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
Jesus answered in John 14:6 - 6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really knew me, you would know [b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
Trust in Jesus alone, Triple A
