  scholar and fisherman, i started this thread because i didn't want to highjack the one in regard to 588/568.. i just wanted to ask if you were both current active jw's that believe the jw's beliefs?.

  do y'all believe the gb are the f&ds?

  if the answers are no, then why do y'all defend so passionately the date 607?

  How would know as you are not a JW

  I know that former JWs have expressed gratitude for information I and others have provided. You seem to lack the basic understanding that not everyone thinks the way you do.

  Fisherman:

  Yes there is.

  Hmmm... compelling stuff. 🤦‍♂️ Seeing as you've never presented any evidence of anything (despite constantly demanding proof from others), I won't hold my breath.

  Doesn’t apply to you being a secular analyst

  So who exactly do you imagine it does apply to? People who hold different superstitious beliefs? Why would they care that JWs think JWs are 'fulfilling' JWs' own interpretations of 'prophecies', let alone be 'jealous'? Back in reality, they're holding you in just as much derision as those of us who don't need religious superstitions.

  Fisherman:

  To the sad jealousy of others, the JW are fulfilling Bible prophecy. Take for example “How else will the scriptures be fulfilled when Jesus deliberately fulfilled prophecy.” Oh, the remarkable grasp and understanding of scripture by JW!

  Just like every other nutty denomination believes their own nutty interpretations are 'fulfilling prophecy'.

  There's no evidence Jesus ever 'fulfilled' any 'prophecies'. What we do know is that the writers who made up details about Jesus' life decades after his death had access to the Old Testament. Such a 'mystery' how they could have come up with 'fulfilments'. 🤦‍♂️
  

  If you think anyone's 'jealous', you really are delusional.

  ‘scholar’:

  Everything is a fantasy to you so why are you here expending much energy in trying to refute or disprove WT doctrine and theology?

  Just because you’re irretrievably deluded by fantasies, it doesn’t mean all JWs are.

  JW’s entire purpose is supposed to be to provide convincing proof of their beliefs in order to save people from their angry deity. You (and Fisherman) have not provided any evidence for your beliefs at all, which according to JW doctrine makes you bloodguilty. So it’s not me you should be feeling sorry for. Luckily for you, it’s just a fantasy.

  ‘scholar’:

  Furuli has discussed the planetary observations in great detail and has published his findings on their relevance to VAT 4956 and has found that "not completely correct, there are good reasons to believe that they represent backward calculations by an astrologer who believed that 568/7 was year 37 for Nebuchadnezzer"

  Not only is Furuli’s claim a dishonest attempt to disguise the fact that the lunar and planetary observations fit 568BCE, but this also contradicts ‘scholar’s’ previous claim that Furuli had shown that the planetary observations fit 588BCE. 🤦‍♂️

  an astrologer who believed that 568/7 was year 37 for Nebuchadnezzer

  Well isn’t that convenient? 😂 As it happens, the ‘astrologer’ (likely intended as ad hominem to discredit the source material) was right about 568BCE being Nebuchadnezzar’s 37th year, as all the contemporaneous cuneiform records also attest.

  The elaborate excuse invented by Furuli is complete nonsense.

  Jorden:

  And also, just to note that with your answer that the 42-months were from Oct 1914 - Mar 1918, you are saying that Jerusalem was trampled on by the nations for 2,520 years (607-1914) and just when the appointed time ended for them to stop being trampled on, instead the trampling continued 42-months additional until 1918.

  🤦‍♂️ (The facepalm is for ‘scholar’.)

  ‘scholar’:

  Utter nonsense. Scholars today currently endorse 586 BCE rather than 587 BCE

  587BCE is preferred among secular sources. 586BCE is preferred by sources simply relying on traditions rather than the specific evidence. No modern analysis of the chronology prefers 586 over 587.

  Such business documents necessitate the converting of any regnal data into a modern-day calendar and are subject to a 'fine tuning' in order o accommodate a 'twenty-year gap in the NB Period.

  This drivel is nothing more than wishful thinking. The period is very solidly established and confirmed by astronomical observations.
  

  Rolf Furuli has researched this subject and proved that both the planetary observations along with the lunar observations are a better fit for 588 BCE rather than 568 BCE. Furuli is the only scholar to date that has researched and examined VAT 4956 since Neugebauer and Weidner, 1915.

  😂 Furuli. 😂 He quite definitely has not ‘proven’ that the planetary observations fit 588BCE, which is impossible. Furuli is neither an astronomer nor a historian, so he’s no more qualified than me for assessing the astronomical observations in VAT 4956, hence a fallacious argument from authority.
