i was wondering, why the governing body is being replaced with the other sheep when they die??
why don't they just call in more of the anointed from around the world to fill in their shoes??
has anyone else wondered about this before??
Thank you everyone... I thought they were being replaced with the other sheep. See this is why this board is SO valuable!!! I love it here!!
Again,
Thanks.

my sister and her husband finally told a elder friend of theirs why they have been absent from the meetings for all these months.
) our family has chosen to only use the 607 issue when dealing with the elders.
because it seems to be the only issue they cannot answer!
so cool! sisters posting together! you are so lucky to have eachother and your family. Your family really should write a book together. I would be a very interesting read IMO!
Thank you Freedomlover!
Our family didn't always see eye to eye on these issues. But in time we came around! I was a hard nut to crack! My Mom and Dad would just say." We just trained her TOO well!" I was scared to death my parents had turned apostate! I remember telling my sister, who was still in, " Don't listen to anything they try to tell you! THIS is the TRUTH!!" So when I began to question things, my sister knew there must be something really to this whole thing. It freaked her out! But she listened, and we began our journey out together with our husbands. I think the key there, was to share in the begining, what we were finding with each other. Then it we didn't feel like we were on two different playing feilds. Anyway...to all of you out there who have family and friends who you don't see eye to eye,YET ..... DON'T GIVE UP!!!! They are scared to listen to you! BUT... even though they may shut you off, they may be haunted by things you have already told them. If I can be cracked...anyone can!!

Has anyone else wondered about this before?? Also, why when making organizational decisions, doesn't the Governing Body contact ALL the Anointed earthwide to get their opinions. To see what the majority feels on matters. wouldn't that make more sense??

oh and lady liberty could i have the references for societies literature that you used for the kings dates e.t.c
it will help when i resume play Kw13, Here is a formula my sister used to help her husband get it. She had posted it a while ago. Please keep in mind while reviewing this that adding years is actually going back in time. Also keep in mind that I am agreeing with the years of reign with the society not the years. Be open minded when you look at this and you too can see how 586/587 comes about. 539 =Fall of Babylon (history and society both agree=insight book volume one under Babylon) + 17 =Nabonidus years of reign (society agree=insight book volume two under Nabonidus) 556 =Labashi-Marduk reigned 9 months (society agree=01/01/65 watchtower) + 4 =Neriglissar years of reign (society agree=01/01/65 watchtower) 560 + 2 =Evil Merodach years of reign (society agree=01/01/65 watchtower) 562 + 43 =Nebuchadnezzar years of reign (society agree=insight book volume two under Nebuchadnezzar ) 605 + 21 =Nabopolassar years of reign (society agree=02/02/69 watchtower) 626 According to the math Nebuchadnezzar began rule in 605 and reigned 43 years till 562. Now we know Nebuchadnezzar took over Jerusalem in his 18/19 year. So take 605 and subtract 18/19 years and you get 586/587 I hope this helped some of you I know it helped myself and my husband

Dear KW13,
Yes, I will get that info. for you. Most of it was gathered right off this site. Many thanks to whoever that was by the way!!!! Sorry to whoever originally posted it! I'll get that to you. My Father told me yesterday, that in the OLD Babylon book it actually lists the reigns of the Kings and they are in perfect harmony with all the other data we have found!! It doesn't give any dates though. It doesn't have to, as long as the Society sees 539 as a pivital date to work backwards from. It all comes together BEAUTIFULLY! I just learned of that being in the Babylon book yesterday! I cannot wait to put that in my bag of tricks when they come back!
Sincerely,
Lady Liberty
hopefully someone will be able to help answer this... .
my friend is still a jw, but she hasn't been going to the meetings regularly and she hasn't been out in service in ages, so i guess she's inactive.
a "friend" of hers ratted her out to the elders for something and they now want to meet with her.
P.S. Welcome to the forum!!
