i work from home mostly, and my wife is right now in the other room with a piece of paper with a line across it for a timeline with "0" in the middle.

she says she is determined to have a clear idea of the chronology this time around through the daniel book at the congregation book study.. this is great!

it dovetails in perfectly with the fact that she just brought me home some books i got from the library on ancient jerusalem history.

we all are identified by our names here on jwd.

some use their real names, and others pick a moniker that is their nickname or perhaps a few words from a song they like.. why did you pick your name?.

for instance,.

Goldminer

I chose Goldminer because I work In a gold mine in northern ontario.Someday I hope to use my real name.

On a whim, stopped by the library for books on Jerusalems destruction

so i was driving by the library on my way home today and remembered i do have a library card and decided to go in and do my own research on 607 bce.

i figured i might find a book or two in our little old library.

i did a search on the library's computers for "jerusalem history" and got a handful of books ... i wrote down the dewey decimal number (or whatever it is) of one of them (they are all in the same general section) and headed to the reference wing of the library.

Wait on Jehovah!!!! What a joke,they say that here too.

I once asked a CO about this 607/587 issue.We e-mailed each other for a while about it.I told my wife eventually when he definitely couldn't prove 607 he would tell me to just wait on Jehovah;and that's what he did! After thinking about this for a few years,it then occured to me:If I have to wait on Jehovah,then why didn't C.T. Russell wait on Jehovah before deciding that this unscriptural teaching would become the cornerstone of the watchtower.

Somebody didn.'t have to wait on Jehovah 130 years ago,but noe I have to because he taught a lie as truth??? You gotta be kidding?

Going back to the jw religion after being away for 6 years.I thought I was the one who had the problem,that I was spiritually immature and that the WTS did have the "truth".That was the biggest mistake of my life and now I must live with it.

an open letter to all jehovah's witnesses.

dear friend, .

what caused you to come and read the posts of so many of your former brothers and sisters who have either been disfellowshipped or have chosen to walk away from the society and the 'truth'?

in another thread, honesty said:you did get switched at birth and we finally found you.

almost all of your real family (us) were switched at birth also so it was one helluva deal to get you back with us.

but we are happy we found you.
