Another 607 / 587 BCE question, How do JW's fix the 20 years ??

by run dont walk in

ok, since all the evidence and people/scholars etc, all agree that jerusalem was destroyed in 587/586 bce and not 607 bce.

how do the jw's get the extra 20 years, i understand the 2520 years and going back from 1914. but alot of the proof goes by adding up the kings reigns, and it gets you to the 587/586 date, do jw's simply add on a few years for each king, or is their a mystery king that ruled for 20 years that only they know about.. hhhhhhmmmmmmm.

hope my question makes sense.

1914 is one of many predictions by Russel. But if you throw enough S*#@ at the wall, it's bound to hit something. That something was the start of WWI, so they have to cling to that date like a baby to mommy's tit. If someone predicted the end of the world for every year leading up to 2001 - he would say, "look - something pivitol happened (9/11). I must be the chosen one!

Are there benefits to DAing Yourself?

by zenpunk in

i've been away from this board for a really long time, since then i've made huge progress in my recovery from life in the jw world thanks to some professional help.

now i am at the point where i just don't want to be anywhere near anyone remotely associated with the organization.

my parents no longer speak to my husband and i, but when i do have to interact with my jw inlaws i feel incredibly sick.

Hello Zen and welcome back. Glad your recovery is moving along. I never had the opportunity to do the fade. My life as a 3rd generation dub was so connected with the org that someone sometime would have noticed and reported me. I know some say that by DAing yourself you are just allowing yourself to be controlled by their system. That maybe true, but with the recent push towards "loyalty tests", I think if many faders are observed doing "bad stuff" they will be DF'd. The announcement may be the same, but I liked being able to say I did it on principal. I left because I no longer believed the same things they did and I wasn't going to hide. Good Luck

hello folks,.

when i started to have serious doubts about witnessdom a few years ago i embarked on an investigation which catapulted me into, what i have come to call, the "ecstasy of insight" and the "agony of doubt.

" i remember going to an out-of-the-way library one morning to read crisis of conscience.

i'll start.

the bible is god's word.

how do we know that the bible is god's word?

i seen a lot of emphasis on the resurrection in the borg recently like the dc talk preparing people for dying in "this system" and calling them presumptious for thinking otherwise and the recent wt study articles.

but does the borg still teach that death is the wages of sin.

does this appply to people df'd and da'd who die?

Understand, I don't believe any of this bullshit - but doesn't their own teachings allow for a clean slate in the resurrection? So if they are teaching that the end is not really close - then what's the point of staying in?
