csa victims need our support, not vindictiveness.

in that vein, lord farquaad has these kind words for shelly, aka “bcg”.

false dilemma logical fallacy.

I feel it’s important for people to at least know what kind of man you are defending.

And there's the problem. You still imagine I'm 'defending' someone. Your specific accusation was unfounded, and that it is all. But the underlying problem is the us-versus-them mentality that thrives so much within the 'ex-JW community', of which Evans and BCG both evidently share some guilt. That doesn't make either of them 'evil', it's just a product of their experiences. And unrelated to your claim that Evans directed his "screw you" comment at Shelly.

Diogenesister:

I can actually verify this and give some context.

I don't doubt there was some wholly unproductive separate exchange on Reddit. But unless Evans unambiguously said "screw you" to Shelly on Reddit, it lends no credence to the claim that the comment on Twitter was directed at Shelly rather than Champion.

You seem to think that everyone who has a distaste for that man and his methods is being unreasonable.

Nope. That statement is purely your mind's own invention. I commented on your response to one Twitter comment. I don't really care about some separate Reddit exchange, which does not confirm to whom Evans was saying "screw you" on Twitter. But the really apparent thing is how readily you attack someone who doesn't fully endorse your hatred of Evans.

Patreon livestream? What are you on about? You seem to imagine that anyone who doesn't agree with you about Evans must therefore support him financially and hang on his every word. This is simply your own fantasy, projecting your dislike of the person on to my ambivalent interpretation of a Twitter comment.

Back in reality, it just seems that Evans' "screw you" comment was directed at Champion, rather than BCG as claimed in your thread title.

Well if it's on Reddit...

Okay, you don't like Evans and therefore anyone who doesn't think Evans is Satan is stupid.

I guess we found that misidentified false dilemma from your initial comment.

Because Evans’ word on the matter is final and unimpeachable. And he has such a sterling reputation for kind conduct towards people who might disagree with him, as Shelly has done in the past. Got it.

I see you still maintain that good old JW black-and-white thinking. So of course if Evans might not be completely evil in one particular Twitter comment that obviously means the only alternative is that he's perfect.

Las Malvinas son Argentinas:

Shelly is in the thread too. Nothing misleading about it. Both gave criticisms about exJW activists. If it were directed at Dwayne then why didn’t he single him out by name?

Only Dwayne specifically mentioned YouTube, Patreon etc - Evans' platform - and it's that comment that seems to have elicited Evans' response. In any case, your own speculation is of no more value than mine, except that mine isn't potentially libelous. In the absence of clarification from Evans, your accusation is misleading.

Misleading thread using image out of context.

Evans' "screw you" comment appears to be directed at Champion rather than BCG.

Watchtower Sudy 12 July.the Kings of North & South (from 05/20 issue)

by BluesBrother in

it is a challenge next sunday for them .

due to starting the convention programme the wt study will be a 30 minute run through ,and deals with this prophecy ... i doubt the younger ones are familiar with it at all bur oldies could debate it at length .we on the look out for the king of the north to enter "the land of decoration" (more to follow,maybe next week).

this article makes a grand claim in par 2.

Bobcat:

In the latest update, WT deletes Emperor Aurelius (King of North) & Queen Zenobia (King of South) on the line for Dan 11:25-26 and then moves everyone below that one line up. (If I don't have that correctly, please set me straight.)
Notice, for example, how in the WT explanation Seleucus IV and Antiochus IV are removed from Dan 11:20 & Dan 11:21-35 and lumped in the line Dan 11:13-19. The next two lines are explained as Roman emperors and then the explanation moves to modern times.

Their attribution of Daniel 11:20 has always been Augustus, and this can't be changed because, as with other Protestant interpretations, it (supposedly) links the 'prophecy' to Jesus. (The verse actually refers to Heliodorus confiscating treasures from the temple in 176 BCE.)

The identification of the 'kings' in verses 25 and 26 previously said to be Aurelius and Zenobia have now been lumped in with their 'explanation' about the German Empire and Britain (verses 27 to 30a). The subsequent 'identifications' don't 'move one line up', only the portion attributed to the German Empire and Britain is extended upwards to include verses 25-26.

(Also, the top chart you provided incorrectly associates verses 13 and 14 with Ptolemy IV instead of Ptolemy V. These verses allude to actions by Antiochus III after the death of Ptolemy IV.)

See Daniel's dreams and visions.
