Thats what I have always thought, these times will really be revealed in Jehovahs
time its no good speculating. But I did start thinking about the 12 years of Hitlers
3rd Reich. Here's some interesting thoughts for you. He was really a personification
of the Devil. He removed all the Bibles from the churches.replaced them with his wretched book Mien Kamp. He thought the third Reich would last a thousand years.
Built that terrible meeting place with one hundred and forty forty pillars
he wanted to exterminate the Jews to stop Jehovah from using them to show his great name then rule the earth.or destroy it!
Very strange. It like the Devils last attempt to defy Jehovah.
and here we are again, the western civilization has been threatened again.
We sure live in interesting times
Here are some interst dates for you.
1868 First Jewish prime minister in Britain leases the Suez Canal for one hundred years
1878 Pastor Russell Prophecies that the Jews will return to Palestine (Comfort ye my people)
1897 Theodore Hertzle starts Zionism
1914 World l starts
1917 General Allenby takes Jerusalem, Turks flee.(Turks were on German side )
Britain can't have anything so unstable near the Canal
1921 Balfour declaration
from then on British interfere with immigration of Jews which ends up with a terrific
explosion at King David Hotel.
1948 British leave the Jews to fight for themselves
Isreal established as a nation
Arabs immediately Attack but Jacob comes out the winner! 1,000,000 versus 600,000

Jehoiakin was taken captive before Jerusalem fell. The counting of the Gentile Times

The Great Pyramid
by Justin insome of you responded to my recent post about the bible students, who have more of a continuity with the teachings of c.t.
russell than jws do, by referring to russell's interest in the great pyramid of gizeh.. russell was following the lead of professor c. piazzi smyth, the astronomer-royal of scotland, who held to the belief that the pyramid was beyond the engineering ability of the ancient egyptians to construct.
some still take this view in regard to ancient engineering marvels.

I believe the best thing to do with this subject about the great Pyramid is put it on the shelf for the the present
I was quite carried away with it years ago, Its quite interesting and some of the facts make
a lot of sense.Piazzi Smythe's book was re-published several years ago, and showed his
extensive measurements, but they were all based on the original Biblical cubit being 18'' using it as a conversion
so I think the wise course today is put it away for a while and lets see what the future holds. -

More Anti-Cult Crap
by proplog2 init's nice to see ros post here but unfortunately its the same anti-cult hype.
a cult is just about any organization that you decide to leave for one reason or another.
let's consider these enlightening comparisons of moonies and jw's.

right on! Do you remember Jesus speaking of the scribes and Pharisee's said" let them be
blinds guides are what they are. -

Was 587B.C. the first destruction of jerusalem?
by compton inall the footnotes in most bibles point to this date, as the final fall of jerusalem.
if this is the correct,this date means this is when the 2,520 days of years commenced.
in daniel chapter 4.the seven times.

what does the watchtower teach that is right.
by jerome inso you dont have to say it.
could you please bear with me for a second here.. this organisation cant be all bad even though overall it is.. .
most of you may reluctantly hold the opinion that every thing the watchtower currently teaches isnt all bad so could you please give your honest opinions as to what you think is good about the org.. so what is there that can be said about it and its teachings that is good.. especially about prophecy.

There was a time when everyone was happy in 1950's. Jehovah's spirit had a free flow
and the org was humble. We knew there were mistakes like the house of princes in California
etc.and Russell and Rutherford had made mistakes We were not brow beaten and prodded,
the overseers left us alone we were quite poor and were content.we put our trust in Jehovah
and his beloved son.We knew the Watchtower was just a bible study aid, and we all studied the
Bible too .But the problems came from within not on the outside, materialism and cliques began to appear
and men who aready had Jehovah's dissaprooval were ambitiously gaining prominent
positions of responsibility. The weeds were being sown and the choking started. IF YOU
READ THIS AND YOU ARE OUT, THANK JEHOVAH YOU HAVE ESCAPED, IF YOU
READ THIS AND ARE STILL IN ,THEN FLEE! YOU DON'T WANT TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE
DO YOU. -

Why Do JW Leave and Want Nothing to Do With God
by castlelover ini find reading this information from different individuals that being a jw and then leaving has people not wanting anything to do with god.
did god tell us to become members of a cult?
i think it is a form of programming that is given over and over that we would be like a dog returning to its vomit.

This has bothered myself no end. I see ones that have turned aethistic and suppose
them to be stumbled. Each person must have a relationship with God, who else can
help in time of trouble, as we are right now ! We all thought America was secure but
we realise now we were living in a dellusion.Its up to those that have faith to help those
that are not strong. The Watchtower taught twisted reasoning that we had to go throught them to reach Jehovah. Did'nt Jesus say that the Devil would perform many miracles that
would decieve even the very elect if it were possible..

Is 1914 date flawed?
by badboy inreasoning from the scriptures says on pp95-97 that months consist of 30 days.. years therefore would be 360 days long.. i have calcaluted(sic)that for every year in the `western'calender such a 360 day calender would fall 4/5 days depending on whether it was a leapyear or not.
now over a period of 2520 years,a 360 day calender would be 9,940 days behind a 364/5 day calender(25 years!
) therefore 2520 years according to book of daniel would fall in 1889!.

why don't you try 1933,the begining of the "Great tribulation" for the jews, remember Jesus was
Jew talking to Jews. 1933 was the year Hitler came to power and burned the Riechstag down
and said the communist did it This led to the Murder of Six million Jews. Then the days were
brought to an end otherwise the whole World would have been destroyed by Hitlers Madness
Now notice Israel is back in the promised land and has been sice 1948.Now read Ezekiel
chapter 38 and psalm 83 and notice Bush even pointed out Iraq and Iran. After you have read
these scriptures watch and pray as Jesus said you do not know the hour.The whole World is
watching the middle East! -

The "humble" man Rutherford
by Norm inthe watchtower society must indeed suffer from a severe lack of humble people.. in their search for an example of humility and humbleness they actually name their second president, j. f. rutherford, a man still known for his complete lack of anything resembling humility.
hoping for the usual total ignorance among the r&f the watchtower wrote this:.
*** w93 2/1 19 what godly subjection requires of us ***.

Norm take it easy on Rutherford. Its all water under the bridge. Jehovah works strange things out
that we can't always see eye to eye with. Rutherford had his faults I am sure, but he
was commisioned to do a very difficult work smite Christendom and it would take a special type of man
A fearless man, a lawyer, a man that could standup to all the churches of that time.and point to
where they had failed, as Knorr did a building up work.Thats also why he put his name on the books
he wrote as there would be law suits, and in the end even the old system left him alone.He was terrifying
when he wanted to be! There are mistakes in his books if you want to pick.as I said its all water under the bridge
remember Jehovah's sheep will hear his voice. its all up to the king.Have mercy! we need it too.1980
is nearly twenty five years ago and most people that are gong to escape from the Watchtower have already
done, if you really respested Jehovah.
