Those scriptures are too much of a theological nightmare for the 'faithless and disturbed slave' to highlight or even barely mention in their religious comic books.

Sure, we have.
Soon, God is going to murder every evil person who rejects the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witness AKA the 'faithful and discreet slave' so why should Jehovah's Witnesses feel emathy for any nonJW who dies, either from natural causes, disasters or as a victim of crime.
They all worship satan if they aren't Jehovah's Witnesses so f&%k 'em.

More JW bragging about the Landover, MD. convention. Please have barf bag at the ready before reading
by AndDontCallMeShirley inthe following e-mail is circulating among jws about the international convention at fedex stadium in landover, md.
note the all-too-familiar jw claims: everything they do (including the simple act of parking cars) is proof of jehovah'stm blessing, and everything wt did at the convention was the fastest, greatest, best ever.
oh, and the never-fails-to-get-mentioned alleged 'persecution'/resistance from some unnamed authority who tried to get in watchtower's way and hamper the effort...but jws prevailed anyway (as always):.

Tamar was not a harlot, so Judah did not commit fornication
by opusdei1972 inthis is a portion of what the insight book says about the affair between judah and tamar:.
therefore, subsequent to judahs becoming a widower, tamar, on learning that her father-in-law was going to timnah, disguised herself as a prostitute and then seated herself at the entrance of enaim on the road judah would be traversing.
not recognizing his daughter-in-law and assuming her to be a prostitute, judah had relations with her.

Can anyone disprove 607 BCE date using only the NWT and WT literature?
by Bart Belteshassur ini haven't come across any arguement that does not involve secular history and external references.
in fact the wt can not get to 607 bce without using external sources as in knowing that they need to get back from 1914 ce to 607 bce, and botching an argument using an external date as reference to create their start point at 537 bce.. i realize that to get the final date we must provide a fixed figure from somewhere which can only be a historical source, but the objective would be to disprove the wt flim flam.
once that is achieve we can use which ever fixed historical point they wish to chose.

All you need is Volume 2 of the INSIGHT on the SCRIPTURES, the January 1, 1965 Watchtower magazine page 29 and 2 Kings 25:8 to prove that Jerusalem DID NOT fall in 607 B.C.
I posted the names of the rulers in the order that they appeared in the January 1, 1965 Watchtower magazine.
I took the material presented in the Watchtower magazine and in 2 Kings 25:8 and DID the math.
I did not use any other source to calculate the years that the Babylonian kings ruled.
All anyone with a calculator and enough sense to read and understand that a ruler such as Evil-merodach who reigned for 2 years and was murdered, understands that the murder occurred in his 3rd year of reign.
The same holds true for the other rulers listed in the January 1, 1965 Watchtower magazine...
Neriglissar reigned for four years and died in the 5th year of his reign.
Labashi-Marduk was assassinated during the 1st year of his reign.
Nabonidus was in the 18th year of his reign when Babylon fell in 539 B.C. according to the Watchtower's INSIGHT on the SCRIPTURES book and the January 1, 1965 Watchtower magazine....
*** INSIGHT on the SCRIPTURES ***
Volume 2
Page 457
*** Nabonidus ***
Last supreme monarch of the Babylonian Empire; father of Belshazzar. On the basis of cuneiform texts he is believed to have ruled some 17 years (556-539 B.C.E.). He was given to literature, art, and religion.
In his own inscriptions Nabonidus claims to be of noble descent. A tablet found near ancient Haran gives evidence that Nabonidus’ mother or grandmother was a devotee of the moon-god Sin. (Ancient Near Eastern Texts, edited by J. Pritchard, 1974, pp. 311, 312) As king, Nabonidus showed great devotion to the worship of the moon-god, both at Haran and at Ur, where this god occupied a dominant position.—PICTURE, Vol. 2, p. 324.
Cuneiform tablets of the eighth year of Nebuchadnezzar (Nisan 617-Nisan 616 B.C.E.) list a certain Nabu-na’id as the one "who is over the city," and some historians believe this is the same Nabonidus who later became king. However, this would mean that Nabonidus was a very young man when placed in such administrative position and would make him extremely aged at the fall of Babylon, some 77 years later (539 B.C.E.).
Nebuchadnezzar entered Jerusalem in the 19th year of his reign according to 2 Kings 25:8...
(2 Kings 25:8) . . .
And in the fifth month on the seventh [day] of the month, that is to say, the nineteenth year of King Neb·u·chad·nez´zar the king of Babylon, Neb·u´zar·ad´an the chief of the bodyguard, the servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.
_______
The Watchtower Society agrees that Babylon fell in 539 B.C. according to Volume 2 on Page 457 in the INSIGHT on the SCRIPTURES under the heading of Nabonidus [the information is quoted above].
IT DOESN'T TAKE A DEGREE IN ROCKET SCIENCE TO START AT 539 B.C. and ADD the years up to arrive at the date of 585/586 INSTEAD of 607 B.C.
*** w65 1/1 p. 29 The Rejoicing of the Wicked Is Short-lived ***
Evil-merodach reigned two years and was murdered by his brother-in-law Neriglissar, who reigned for four years, which time he spent mainly in building operations. His underage son Labashi-Marduk, a vicious boy, succeeded him, and was assassinated within nine months. Nabonidus, who had served as governor of Babylon and who had been Nebuchadnezzar’s favorite son-in-law, took the throne and had a fairly glorious reign until Babylon fell in 539 B.C.E.
2 Kings 25:8
On the seventh day of the fifth month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guards, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.

Jehovah's Witness who told gym member yoga would let 'evil' into her body wins sacking case:
"
A Jehovah’s Witness who was sacked as a fitness coach after telling a gym member that yoga would allow ‘evil’ into her body has won a pay out for unfair dismissal.
Maciej Grochowski, was sacked from his role at the Virgin Active gym in Middleton after several warnings over complaints he was making staff and clients uncomfortable by discussing his beliefs.
He was finally given the boot after writing a series of e-mails to bosses spelling out his religious opinions on issues such as Halloween and satanism.
An employment tribunal ruled he was unfairly dismissed as he had not breached the terms of a final warning banning him from discussing religion when it was ‘unwelcome’ or ‘made others feel uncomfortable’."
"Mr Grochowski was first warned about his behaviour in June 2011, after several members contacted the gym to see when he was working so they could avoid being there at the same time. They explained they felt uncomfortable because of his frequent discussions on religious beliefs.
Within a fortnight a colleague complained about ‘homophobic views’ he had raised in the staff room.
He was suspended just days later after police were called when he refused to leave after turning up for work on his day off.
Virgin Active was ordered to pay Mr Grochowski £653.50 - after a 75 per cent reduction for his conduct prior to the dismissal.
But employment judge David Jones, at Manchester Civil Justice Centre, ruled that the trainer had not been discriminated against because of his religious beliefs." -

Hello
by lurkernomore ini thought it was high time to introduce myself (without my name of course).
as my name would suggest i have been reading your intriguing post, thoughts and discussions for some time now.
around 3/4 months to be exact.. i guess to start with it would seem fitting to give a little background on my current situation.. i'm a born-in, but have over the last few years found that through a number of varying occurences, (some of which i may discuss in future posts) that my 'zeal' has gone from regular field service and meetings to no service in over a year and very sporadic meeting attendance.

Welcome sandbaggernomore lurkernomore!
It's great that your wife shares your views about the Jehovah's Witness cult denomination because so many of us had to go it alone when we found out TTATT and are now either single, remarried or have met a significant other who is not a cultist Jehovah's Witness.
Enjoy your journey of freedom!
P.S. Do not admit to anything if the hounders elders interrogate lovingly beat shepherd you in an attempt to bring you back into the snake's den fold.
