Thats great!!!
Some of those comments are hilarious!!!
I especially liked the idea of drawing a chalk outline on the driveway and scattering literature around it.

Daniel's Prophecy, 605 BCE or 624 BCE?
by Little Bo Peep inhello all, i've been reading your site for a couple of years now, and have found, for the most part, it to be very helpful.
i must say, at first i was very "scared" at what i might find, but contrary to what i grew up learning, there is a "wealth" of information outside of the watchtower organization.
i haven't attended meetings for about two years now, and like many i've read about, have spent many hours researching, telling myself "i'm not wrong for searching", and doing more research.

What was it about this elder that prompted you to talk to him? What qualities, or um personallity traits did he have that let you know he might be open?
They just don't seem to be as happy as they used to be. In the old days, there used to be cong. picnics all of the time. Every weekend during the summers there would be a barbeque at someones house. Everyone would be there. There really did used to be some good times. Winters would be big bonfires and sled riding parties. The entire cong. would be there....active and inactive.
Now, nothing. I haven't heard talk of a get-together in years. Every family I know has at least one person da'd or df'd. They are losing hope. I can see it in their eyes. It's sad, but also encouraging.
I thinks it's finally time for me to step in. Slow and gradual. I'm kind of getting this feeling that they know something is not quite right. They just can't put two and two together.

Ohhhh ok...lol
I am just not a typist....type with 1 finger from each hand. For me to type a complete response would take all night. I am better at direct confrontation. I have every bit of info needed to refute this....I just can't type.

Sorry mamacat, but if you accept 539 you also have to accept 586/587 Bottom line....539 comes from astronomical records too.....if you accept 539 you also must accept 586/587.
so there

What's an alleymom KISS maneuver? and what's in the 65 BV that you used?
Alleymom is a poster here....and a very intelligent person to say the least. The 65 bv gives an unbroken chain of several of the kings and the insight book for the rest. Absolutely no room for the additional 20 years. All in the watchtowers own books.
Hopefully someone can post a link to the thread....I don't know how.

We were just shooting the breeze about work, weather, etc... I brought up the tsunami and the recent earthquakes and then proceded to tell him what caused it and all about the interaction of the earths plates. I told him that I had seen a few interesting programs on the discovery channel about it. This led to the discussion of other programs that we had both watched on Discovery and History channels. We were talking about the destruction of Pompei and during a lull in the conversation I just blurted out, "Jerusalem was destroyed in 586 not 607." I got one of those puzzled, did I hear you right?, type of looks. I repeated, "Jerusalem wasn't destroyed in 607."
Mrs. elder says...."It was destroyed in 70." I looked straight in the eyes of Mr. and said, "607....you know what I'm talking about." "What do you mean?" he said.
The first thing I did was tell him about all of the secular information that is out there. Then........drum-roll please..........I went to his shelf and got out the 65 bound volume and the insight book and performed the infamous Alleymom KISS maneuver.
TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!
He was speechless for at least 5 minutes.....just stared at the paper in front of him. His first response was, "No evidence for 607?" Still staring at the paper. It was priceless!
"Mr. elder," I said, "You really need to do some serious research into this. You KNOW what this means as far as 1914 is concerned."
No comment.
"Please Mr. elder, reasearch this,........... Please!"
I changed the mood then with a return to the discussion of current events. I left a short time later and the last thing Mr. elder said was "I WILL be looking into this."
I'm still in shock. I never believed it would have went like that. No freaking out....no mention of apostates.....nothing.
If I end up getting them out of the org, I will go to NY and dance the jig in front of the watchtower bldng!!

I have a Book of Mormon and have several Mormon aquaintances. The garden of eden being in Missouri and the Lamanites are just a couple of the things that shot down any chance of me ever being a Mormon.
