609 BC — The Babylonians defeat the Assyrians
605 BC — The Babylonians defeat the Egyptians/Nebuchadnezzar becomes King
597 BC — Babylonians capture Jerusalem following a siege - Exile of prominent Jews
586 BC - Jerusalem & Temple destroyed.
539 BC - Babylon called to account. 70 Years ended.

My problem is explaining Daniel 9:1-2.

Is he referring to the same 70 years or perhaps to the fact the temple was rebuilt in 516BC, 70 years after its destruction in 586.

Also;

Do the Witnesses accept that Nebuchadnezzar began ruling in 605 BCE?

John Lennon and JW... (...a credible source)

by Confucious in

ok.... of course john lennon's would be 70th birthday was yesterday.. so just a discussion - and please - no hate'in... just some discussion.. but i personally know of a very high ranking jw member (think highest you can basically get...) who related this story to me how some jw's talked to john lennon shortly before he wrote "imagine.".

when he told me - he did preface it by saying it was "hearsay..." that he couldn't prove it.. but listening to the song tonight - i could see how it could be possible.. thoughts?.

confucious.

It's not far fetched really, its quite possible the idea of such a cult inspired him to go and write a song against religion.

good evening jwn!!...

as most of you know i live in a forest,in the mountains..at night there is very little light pollution... so the sky is one big theatre screen... i see shooting stars,northern lights,satellites,planes on a destination..it`s all very beautiful... tonight was different... .

tonight there was something in the sky that defied anything i`ve ever seen... it had multiple aircraft lights but not like regular airplane lights..it wasn`t a helicopter... it could go straight up or down... move in one direction then head in another..it could do all kinds of weird stuff... sometimes it just hovered..then start doing all these weird maneuvers... regular aircraft is going somewhere,it`s headed in a direction..not this thing... i watched a regular airplane pass it... .

Megan doesn't have Cancer! (Update)

by KW13 in

we went on wednesday to the hospital.

apparently she is too young to have a mammogram or something to that effect.

they did however do one of those ultrasound scans and she was subject to a basic physical examination.. it's good news really, although now we need to know why it's happening because apparently she may have to have an operation to remove the ducts in her breast to find out what exactly is going on.

KW13

Thank you everyone for your kind words, swift replies and sound advice.

I am going to speak to Megan on monday (she is off work for a week from then) and get her to make an appointment with her doctor, with a view to seeing where we can go next and what we can do.

The twins are called Molly & Brooke snowbird. x

It's good news really, although now we need to know why it's happening because apparently she may have to have an operation to remove the ducts in her breast to find out what exactly is going on. I never heard of this before, never thought surgery in this situation was necessary just to find out what the problem is, seeing it doesn't cure anything really or answer any questions.

Sounds a bit silly but i had a hard time accepting it wasn't cancer. The doctor who saw her was quite vague and suggested that although its 18months since Megan breastfed (she only did it for 6 weeks) the twins, that her body is still producing some milk. He said he wasn't at all concerned by that and that the blood is only sporadic, therefore not necessarily serious. Is it me or does this just seem totally unprofessional. He kept getting confused too, asking how long she has been pregnant (WTF...18 months too late their buddy, we just told you that.) and other obscure things like so you are still breastfeeding. Again we'd explained that...

When she squeezed her nipple to produce something (he requested she do that for the examination) only the milk coloured substance came out with a trace of blood (according to this cardboard chart thing he held). He said that because she had to squeeze it, it can't be too serious. That doesn't really allow for all the times its happened spontaneously, infact it doesn't really help at all.

I've also since learned from Google (perhaps i am wrong, i need your thoughts) that physical examination AND even ultrasounds don't pick up all types of cancer. Really am at lost what to suggest to megan and i don't want to upset her because in her eyes, for the next 3 months at least we've moved on from this problem!

Did You Aspire To Be An Elder Or Did You Want A Relative or Friend To Be One?

by minimus in

if you were a male growing up in the congregation, it was expected that you would "reach out" for a position in the hall.

some of us did just that and others didn't want any "privileges"!.

i knew some people, especially "sisters", that really wanted their relative or good friend to be appointed so they might "change things".

I'd love to go back just to become an Elder to be honest.
