Blatantly deceitful use of secular sources
by AuldSoul ini am looking good repository of instances where the watchtower or awake!
have quoted secular sources in such a way to make it appear the source supports their argument when it is blatantly obvious that the secular source disagreed with them.
if it doesn't exist, i am about to make one.

I need helpsource needed!
by AuldSoul incarm.org has this quote cited: "thousands of the readers of pastor russell's writings believe that he filled the office of 'that faithful and wise servant,' and that his great work was giving to the household of faith meat in due season.
his modesty and humility precluded him from openly claiming this title, but he admitted as much in private conversation.
" it is sourced as "watchtower 12/1/1916, page.

A more effective way to spare the lives of billions!
by AuldSoul inat the outset i wish to make clear i am not an advocate of the course of action discussed herein.
i do not agree with the governing body's teachings on the result of the good news of the kingdom.. but if i did:.
i would have to recognize that (1) it takes more than 4,000 hours (in fact, about 188 days of 24-hours straight per day) of witnessing to gain one baptized witness, (2) persons taught "the truth" are more accountable before god than the rest of society, (3) those who "hear and reject" may very well be deemed deserving of eternal destruction at armageddon, (4) there is about 1 jw publisher per 1,200 people, (5) those who die before armageddon are very likely to be resurrected because their sins are paid for, and (6) there is no greater expression of love than being willing to sacrifice your own life for the lives of others.. this being the case, even if it cost me my everlasting life to do it (see point 6) i could save many more people in a much shorter time by killing everyone i see.

1914How Is It Arrived At? (Daniel 4)
by AuldSoul inthe only chronology in the bible tying anything to 1914, according to jehovah's witnesses, is found in daniel 4.. 1914how is it arrived at?.
assumption #1: luke 21:24 is referring to nebuchadnezzars dream as related in daniel 4, and that indicates a future fulfillment of daniel 4.. assumption #2: the second fulfillment of nebuchadnezzars dream relates to something entirely different than the initial fulfillment.. assumption #3: the seven times of daniel 4 means seven years.. assumption #4: the seven years dont mean seven years, they mean seven years of years, where each day of each year equals one year.. assumption #5: the seven years of years dont mean seven years of years, they mean seven years of prophetic years, where each day equals 360 days.. assumption #6: jerusalem was destroyed in 607 b.c.e.. assumption #7: we should add (7 times x 360 years of 365 (or 366) days each) 2,520 years to 607 b.c.e.
to arrive at 1914 c.e.
