if anyone were to come up to you claiming that they are the faithful and discreet slave, how would you go about proving them to be false, based upon scripture?.

watchtower has just lost its appeal in the norwegian courts over the withdrawal of the funding it receives from the government as an officially recognised religion.
the initial decision will now stand due to what the court termed 'exclusionary practices' which includes the witnesses barbaric practice of shunning minors, even by family members in their own homes.
the ministry of children and families have decided they are now no longer eligible for the state grant of 16 million norwegian kroner given to officially recognised religions.. the following is a statement has been issued, i have summarised if it isn't readable: .
Fisherman:
as a legitimate religion they do qualify for tax exempt status
Funny how they’re ‘just another religion’ when it affects their bank balance.

JWs say to pay taxes and to be ‘No part of the world’, but complain about losing tax-free status and ‘worldly’ benefits. What a farce.

in fact, one passage was addressed to an 'exiled people' thus it is well proved that the 70 years was a period of exile.
The apologist quietly ignores the fact that the passage in question (Jeremiah 29) refers to a letter written 7 years prior to Jerusalem’s destruction to people already exiled in Babylon, so it would be meaningless to tell them they would be in Babylon for 70 years starting from some unstated future event. 😂 Perhaps the silly apology shouldn’t highlight such obvious low hanging fruit. 🤦♂️

Well, they said it would end in October 1914 before that. When that dismally failed, they reconned it as ‘well something happened in that year, though it was an entirely different thing in the wrong month, but we’ll run with it’. 😂

You have replied in haste without actually reflecting and meditating on the passages of scripture listed for your careful and thoughtful reflection.
What a load of drivel. 😂 Basically, what he means is you have to pretend the verses don’t mean what they actually say because mommy Watch Tower says they ‘really’ mean something else. 🤦♂️ And he doesn’t even understand that he’s an Adventist.

Ha ha. The only passage that mentions ‘exile’ at all says attention would be given to the Jews’ return after Babylon’s 70 years had ended, and none of them refer to 70 years of exile. No wonder he wasn’t willing to provide quotes 😂

The Bible does describe the 70 years as a period of Exile
Must be a verse I missed 😂. Provide a citation and quote for this elusive verse that mentions 70 years of exile. 😂
