can anyone provide me with any evidence (links to other sites is fine) that jerusalem could not have possibly fallen to the babylonians in 607?

thanks again for your answers.

Scholar,

Jesus died 2000 years ago and in another 2000 years he is still going to be dead, nice man but dead. And in the next 2000 years they'll be many coincidental events that will seemingly look like bibical fulfillments just as there has been in the previous 2000 years. You sound like a very intelligent person I think you really need to open your eyes and get your head around it, it's just probability. I mean just look at the Nostrodamus prophecies. They gleaned Hitler and JFK from those writings.

Has it not occured to you that a loving God would not let his children suffer for generation
after generation, after generation, after generation, after generation, after generation, after generation, after generation, after generation? And just to prove a point due to some bad arse angle. I don't think so. The Jews picked up on mesopotamian mythology and religion and made it their own. Follow your common sense and intelligence not one more religious group out of the USA.

Scholar,

"Your evasive responsive is noteworthy"

Reverse psychology doesn't work on me. My answer was direct clear and to the point. You've admitted you don't want to answer it. How evasive is that?

You are behaving as though you are in a court of Law it's a legitimate innocous question to which you are afraid to answer.

I believe that the whole WTBS edifice is built on this dubious date and you cannot even contemplate a hypothetical question whose answer would knock the feet from under your organisation.

Scholar,

I was going to premptive your response with 'please don't say my question is hypothetical' but i didn't want to insult you by being presumptous.
So let me answer your question first...

If it turned out to be 607BC then it would make no difference to me because I no longer believe in biblical prophecies as they are subject to interpretation as much as doctrinal issues.
For example nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom could pertain to any period and maybe not necessarily traditional war.

I'd appreciate a direct answer to my question. What would it mean to you if a tablet categorically said 587BC?

Scholar,

Let's say that a tablet is found that conclusively dates the fall to 587BC. In this scenario what would that mean for the WTBS doctrine and for you personally. Would you leave the organisation?

If the New Testament included only the Gospels.....

by Spectrum in

.... what would christianity be like today had the rest of the nt been rejected or turned into apocrypha?

was christ's teaching enough to give momentum to this religion beyond the first christians?

or did christ's teaching need augmenting with pauline doctrines?

Spectrum

Narkissos,

Do top catholic and orthodox clergy share the same views you have expressed in this thread? Or do they really believe the whole NT is a seamless truthful naration of Christ and his message?

Skin care for the maturing lady (fluff)

by Crumpet in

i have been using the same facial moisturiser loyally for the last 17 years - but i'm thinking what was great for me at 14 might not be so effective at 31. what most irks me when i look in the mirror (neck up early - we simply don't have long enough for what irks me below the neck) is that my pores seem really big and the overall effect is to make me look tired as the security guard at work pointed out when i left work last night!.

my question is to you ladies (and cosmetically aware gents) is what is your skin care regime and do i have to switch to a really expensive brand sponsored by nazi sympathisers and advertised by supermodels to spruce up my skin?

what do you swear by?.

Spectrum

Models drink lots of water - 2 litres. You need to excercise enough to make your face red as this brings nutrient rich blood to the skin capillaries. Ensure you have a good diet. Stress adds wrinkles to your skin. I always looked much younger than my slightly older brother. He is really relaxed about everything nothing stresses him. Today we are in our 30s and the tables have turned - he looks much younger than me. So do all this and you can do without those creams.

!!!!!!!!!! New Elder Video !!!!!!!!!!!!!

by SickofLies in

this time they really did call the police on me lol!

they backed out though, they called, then canceled the call after a while and the police never came to charge me with recording them, pitty really.. http://www.quad-central.com/~dan2007.

there is the link, i was unable to edit the audio file like i usually do to take out the blank spaces and amplify the volume, so if someone could do that with the wav file on the server that would be great!.

Spectrum

sickoflies,

I couldn't understand the purpose of your doing this video and couldn't figure out shy they didn't want to be filmed. I mean they were behaving like they were about to be exposed over something they had done wrong.

What was the purpose of your mission?

inquirer,

"It's amazing how many times people debate New Testament Scripture, but never the OT books! Why are the OT books alway all so sacred, and that the Jews were so good at keeping the canon and there can be only 39 books in their part of the Bible."

Probably because they were better organised than the christians. The christians were writing whilst trying to establish themselves in a hostile environment. It seems the Jews recognised their prophets whilst they were still alive and took everything they wrote as kosher unlike the Christians who couldn't make their minds up.

No I haven't. Anything different about it?

How did you cope?

when you found out that this religion probably wasn't the one true religion like you had believed probably for a large portion of your life, or maybe even all of it, how did you react?

my whole life belongs to the society.

all my friends are witnesses, my family are witnesses, even my job is dedicated to the society.

Spectrum

I just stopped going to the meetings but I took with me the JW mentality that was instilled in me for the next 20 years. It's only recently that I have really broken free from their ridiculous way of thinking. What a waste of time and life.
