Hi. Perhaps I can help. You mentioned that your dads an elder. Show him Acts 8:12 and mention to him that it is ONLY MEN and WOMEN that Jehovah accepts the baptisims of all that have been baptised. Carefully explain to him it is Jehovah that you want to worship- and not men. You can also mention to him the Years text. Mention to him that your baptisim was not valid under Jehovahs princaples and you underwent baptisim too young and is not valid in Jehovahs eyes. But, you must also realise as to WHY your sister was dissfellowshipped. Did she commit adultery or something else to break Jehovahs laws. (consider 2 John 8-11). It states there, "he that does remain in this teaching is the one that has both the Father and the Son.". When I mentioned about the "men and women", at todays standards a man or women starts at an age of 20 or over. You were a child when you got baptised. Teenagers are the ages between thurTEEN and nineTEEN- hence TEENager. There is nothing in the scriptures to state that a child or a teenager should be baptised. Even Jesus did not get baptised until he was over 25.And he set a pattern for us all. Weigh out all these odds only to please the MOST HIGH. And if you do make a personal desision to see your sister in the end,if your dad does decide to dissfellowship you with the rest of the elders, it would be a mans action and not Gods. Many today are being dissfellowshipped for the wrong reasons. I hope you do come to decide the right course of action. Talk to Jehovah tonight by looking outside your window, one of his angels will hear your plea.Keith, your Brother.

Message for county girl (CG). I was just wondering as to how many were in the faith at on time or another. I do not know who everybody is or where they live- nor does anyone else. So, no one has a chance to turn anyone in. I just hurts me so much to hear of many who were in the faith and left because of being hurt in one way or another. As the "sheep" has got lost and to find a dwelling somewhere else.

truth about the last days
One thing that I knew as to how the persecution will happen is that the main tool that is used is the publications that are offered. Without these, it is one voice against another if these are not used. So, i have been summoned to warn as many as possable that the nations will use the publications against all that want to use them to declare about Gods Kingdom. Within ALL (or most as i have not seen all of them) the publications have been embedded with items without support (e.g. 607BCE,ect.). But the main worry will be the satinac subliminal images that have been embedded in the drawings in a lot of publications. They are in WT DEC 15,FEB 1, cover of JAN 15 years 2005-2006.I only have these issues so far and i do not know how far back the images have been put in the WTs. They are also on frount cover of the "Keep on the Watch" brochure, throughout the "Live Forever" book, throughout the the "Knowladge Book" and throughout the "Draw close to Jehovah" book. There is a figure of a disfigured face on the first edition of the "what does God require of us" brochure. And these are the only ones that i have so far in my stock. It seems that every WT that is issued these "artworks" are constantly in use throughout each publication mentioned. I got the "Danial" book which is in use for the book study, which I have not have a chance yet to ponder over. Allready things are in motion as a EBAY member has allready sent a CD-ROM to each heads of states around the world- due to the satinic subliminal images that is constantly being put in everybodys minds. The harm that this can create in children will be of topmost importance- and all those who still wishes to use the publications to witness Gods Kingdom would be persecuted. Once orginizations such as the Social Services here in the U.K. get wind of it, there could be warnings that if all WT publications are not removed from the homes, children could be taken away from their parents. I will try my best to warn as many witnesses as I can, but I cannot stop this from happening. But if they do not listen to Jehovahs warnings, then they will have to suffer the conseqences of persecution from the Govermental autherities- namely the United Nations. I have only spoken to 2 elders (so far), but they refuse to see the evidence shown to them. So, we all can imagine the worst- even some on this site may share in the persecution of Gods people. Once this is FULLY exposed, then no more publications and no more field service- as no-one will listen to the kingdom proclamers. Seeing that millions are innocent of this (as they are not to blame for the pictures), it is only the book and magazine publishers (headquaters in Broklyn, N.Y.) that are to be blamed. Hence, the "son of Destruction" or the "evil slave", as the spirital "food" has been poisioned to such an extent that It will result in spirital sickness- even death. It is then that Jesus, our ruler, will intervein and take over mans affairs for that 1000 yrs. And to destroy the "evil slave".

607BCE or 587/586BCE explained
by truth about the last days inhello all to all my brothers of the faith.
i have some information in relation to the dates 607bce and 587/586bce, with the simple explanation of the 70years exile.
the wt still sticks with the 607bce due to the fact that the governing bodys explains that the jews returned back at about 537bce, assuming that they were finished with their bondage.

truth about the last days
And as to the 2520 years. Seeing that reading the whole of Danial chapter 4 and verses 20+21 of chapter 5, we read there that the "seven times" only applied to Nebuchadnezzar, himself- and no-one else. And I seriously doubt that he lived 2520 years!!1 He! He! Even Nebuchadnezzar did not know that the kingdom was allready taken away from him. (verse 31 ch4) So even he did not know how long the "seven times" was, but it did occur between when the "kingdom" was taken away from him to when the "kingdom" was returned back to him. (verse 36 ch4)

It is intresting to know about the chart of the Great Pyramid that was shown earlier. Any one who does not believe that the date 1914 came from this Egyptian structure, In the "Jehovahs Witnesses-proclaimers of Gods Kingdom", pages 162,201 and the picture with the brothers in India(1915) does actually have this chart shown. It also states that they used the Great Pryamid calcuations for 35years. Then the brothers abanded the idea of using a pagan structure to get details of future events.

HI, all! Let us say that, for arguements sake.that 607BCE is to be the correct date. If we do possess a Revelation-its grand climate at Hand book, it carefully explains that it was first origanially explained that the 2520yrs was from 1914 back to 606BCE. And it states there that because the early christians did not know that there was no zero year, they adjusted it to 1914CE to 607BCE. It states that "it was necessary to adjust B.C.606 to 607B.C." So, h0w is everyones maths? Lets count the years between 10BC to 10AD- with and without the zero year.
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10=21 years 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10=20 years
So, in order to take away the "0" year, we have to TAKE AWAY one year from our original sum of 606 to 1914. What we should have come up was 606BC to 1913CE or 605BC to 1914 this takes away one year. What was done was, instead of TAKING AWAY one year, they ADDED one year to the sum of 606BC to 1914BC. We also know that the date of 606BC was due to the calulations of the "seven times" that was recorded in the book of Danial. There was no evidence in the late 1800s to state as to when the Temple was taken and destroyed. So, by using this calcuation, they assumed that the temple was destroyed in 606BCE. In 1933, the excavation of thousands of Cuineform Tablets that were dug up gave the date of the destruction of the Temple. I happened to get a book of facts from a antique show that was published (first edition1933) at that time. It states 586BC as to when the Temple was destroyed. All other reference books from that time does have the 587/586 date in them, due to historic evidence. -

- Hello all to all my Brothers of the faith. I have some information in relation to the dates 607BCE and 587/586BCE, with the simple explanation of the 70years exile. The WT still sticks with the 607BCE due to the fact that the Governing Bodys explains that the Jews returned back at about 537BCE, assuming that they were finished with their bondage. Whereas, all historic evidence with all reference books state that the year 586BCE was the year that the first Temple was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar. As references do indicate that 605BCE was the year Nebuchadnezzar started his rulership. Here is the simple chart to explain the 70 year bondage.
Nebuchadnezzar ruled in 605BCE
He took Judah in 587BCE on his 18th year of rulership. 605-18=587BCE Jeremiah 32:1+2a
He destroyed the temple in 586BCE, and removed their belongings, including all items from the first Temple.
The people started their 70yr captivity from 586BCE
Darius the Mede (king of the CITY of Babylon) ruled in 522BCE. 586-522=64 years.
The SECOND Temple was finished and all its belongings were returned or replaced in the "sixth year" of Darius the Mede. EZRA 6:15. 64 years+6 years= 70 years.
See also all of Ezra chapter 6
So, from this simple chart, the scriptures with ALL evidences in all reference books shows that 586BCE was the year that the Temple was destroyed. We may get confused with the term "the babylonien captivity", meaning than the captivity would only take place during the Babylonion world empire. But as Jer 27:6 does state that Jehovah would give it all to his servent, Nebuchadnezzar,the King of Babylon. When the Medes and Persions took over the world empire, it was Cyrus the Mede that was the next King of Babylon- meaning THE CITY of Babylon. In fact, records show that he resided there. In time, Darus the Mede was to be the King of Babylon (the city). The full explanation of all their goods and posessions that Nebuchadnezzar originally took from the people- with the second Temple compleatly finished- was returnrd back to them. This is recorded in Ezra chapter six. Keith

Satan locked in abyss or is he roaming about seeking to devour someone?
by amommy inwhich is it?
a bit confusing!
-
truth about the last days
P.S. If anyone is wondering where the Abyss is, we will not know for sure. Gen 1:1 does state tha "God created the heavens and the earth" Which would bring us to the UNanswerable question, Where was Jehovah BEFORE he created the heavens and earth? We will never know. We will not know if there are other areas that Jehovah knows about. When Saten was thrown out of heaven (and is not allowed to go back there) and then thrown to earth: once he has been removed from this earth to the abyss that he is going, it would have to be in an another area that we do not know about.
