The Watchtower's incredible ignorance about the human body.
by Norm inbabylonian teachings are always strongly condemned by the watchtower.
there is nothing considered so evil and abominable as whatever considered as babylonian.
it is therefore a remarkable fact that the watchtower society itself is guilty of teaching babylonian ideas.

Yeah right, and then Hollywood excreted U-571, a rather revisionist 'recognition' ... It does have a rather impressive soundtrack though.

Did you ever see this? It's published by the WBTS in English and Spanish but AFAIK it's not generally available.

Listen boofhead. Finegans's book on chronology is far superior to the Jonsson drivel in fact in regard to Nt chronology he has moved closer to the WT chronology according to his second rdition. In fact Finegan has had both of his editions peer reviewed so when will Jonsson do the same.
I challenged you to indicate exactly where Carl's work deviates from the generally accepted timeframe for the neo-Babylonian chronology and as I expected you didn't come near to answering the challenge. Apparently you do get inspired by my description of your own verbal diarrhea you spout here, notwithstanding the fact that what you designate as 'drivel' appears to be in close harmony with the opinion and writings of what generally acknowledged and peer-reviewed scholars have produced. To illustrate that point I've taken the liberty to pull a few publications of my shelves, some of which have been referred to earlier, and just made a little comparison between the 'drivel' of Carl O. Jonsson, as found on page 235 of the 3rd ed. of The Gentile Times Reconsidered. Even people who are not well versed in scholastic chronology can see that there's virtually no difference between these various learned sources. Oh, and they do recognize the foul stench of the rotten pack of red herrings that you keep dragging around.
Therefore, please enlighten us: what exactly would be the purpose of reviewing this chronology for the neo-Babylonian kings as published in the work of Carl O. Jonsson? Why would any scholar spend more than 0.7 seconds of brain energy to review what is commonly considered as well established facts? Exactly where does the chronology as presented in GTR deviate from what is common acknowledged? If you really want and dare to challenge the scholarly works of Kugler, Thiele, Sachs, Hunger, Wiseman, Walker, Finegan, and many others --- indeed including a mr. Jonsson --- please do so. Don't lie to us by giving the impression that the work of mr. Jonsson is in any way dissonant with all these recognized scholars. You know very well you can not and you dare not either, and therefore resolve to name calling. Is that really the best you can do? I guess it is, since it is exactly what your mindcontrolling cultleaders in Brooklyn have done to those that eventually distinguished the lie from truth.

If anyone has an agenda it is Jonsson and this is plainly evident in the introduction to his editions of GTR. If you have published then you appreciate the importance of a review so get Jonsson off his backside and get it done.
I have challenged you before to discredit a well-known scholar especially in the field of biblical chronology, such as Jack Finegan, to the same extent that you discredit Carl O. Jonsson. You know very well that Finegan and Jonsson agree on the dates and/or periods involved here. And yet you continue to throw mud at Carl and his 'hypothesis', his 'chronology' etc. It only requires a few mouse clicks to see your disgraceful and frankly moronic exchange at Channel C with Carl. It seems your spiel is that by using Carl as a proxy you think you can get away with your mudslinging and highly unprofessional and unworthy behaviour towards all of the generally acknowledged and accepted scholarly work concerning the neo-Babylonical timeframe. Some time ago you were confronted here by a lady going by the alias of Alleymom. Anyone here can lookup that thread and read your glowing defense and repartee of the simple explanations based on your master's writ.
Nevertheless I'm still indebted to you: each time I read your drivel and am confronted with your haughtiness, I bless the day when I left the Watchtower organisation, since your pitiful specimen showing the effects of careful indoctrination and exposure to fundamentalistic megalomania, belongs to the best uncompromising anti-propaganda for the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society available today.

Good Grief.
by Englishman ini'm absolutely stunned by this.. a bunch of girls - well, 30-somethings anyway - down the pub have admitted to rubbing hemorrhoid cream around their eyes so as to look younger.. apparently, the salve's shrinking properties is great to reduce eye-bags and crows feet better than anything on the market.
it's also extremely cheap compared to facial creams.. anusol rules!.
