  Even if, and especially if, the latest addition to the story is true, it seems that this anecdote would overshadow the previous story about sex between minors, which is generally not viewed as a crime when both parties are minors… (essentially adding, ‘oh, and we also gang-raped a guy, but I only held him down, no homo.’) Now, this kind of thing does happen (though I don’t have specific knowledge of the military culture in the country portrayed, which is most likely Singapore for those paying attention) but admitting to being complicit in it, and doing so to build upon a less serious anecdote seems to be more about getting attention. Still not buying it.

  Following 2023’s failure

  And there goes diogenesister’s concession about the timeline.

  Ten-year-old Marcos said, “My favorite part was when I helped the Israelite carpenter build a stool!” “That was my favorite part too,” said eight-year-old Rebecca. “I also loved grinding the wheat to make flour.”

  Get them excited about free labour while they’re young. 🤣

  Diogenesister:

  Has been out of the army for 2 years now.

  No, he never said that. Probably will now though. 🙄

  Diogenesister:

  Jeffro he said he's been out of the army for 2 years

  No, he actually said that when he joined the army, he felt bad even though at that time he had been out of the JWs for two years.

  You are being fed a story.

  I think he’s drifted from his timeline. Apparently he was 17 6 years ago, but now has only recently completed his 2 years in the army which was required at 18.

  Already provided link to information that more than adequately shows 607 nonsense to be wrong.

  No obfuscation, no special pleading.

  ‘scholar’:

  why not provide a single line of evidence that disproves 607 BCE?

  You keep rattling off that nonsense, but 607 has been thoroughly debunked from every angle. You aren’t making any sense. It’s like you’re objecting to the fact that there’s not just exactly one problem with it. 🤷‍♂️

  🤦‍♂️ It’s like he’s never actually read the Bible.

  Notice how the apologist avoids quoting the relevant scriptures.

  607 for Beginners includes full quotes of supporting scriptures.
