  jerusalem 607 bce vindicated.

  why jehovahs witnesses are right for sticking to the bibles chronology of 607 bce for the destruction of jerusalem.

  arguments for 587 bce are scripturally flawed, causing four bible prophecies to fail.

  "Hemophiliacs are like vampires!"

  as i have talked about before, i have a serious bleeding disorder, not hemophilia though.

  back in the dark ages of the '70s, the medical term used was "pseudo-hemophilia".

  because i did not get appropriate medical care (thanks to the wts), i spent many hours during meetings sitting in the smelly ladies room at the kh trying to control my nosebleeds.

  I would have recomended vitamina made from fish oil.

  And it works to stop internal bleeding.

  The daughter of a prostitute.

  by greendawn in

  2. bible

  if asked: would you marry a prostitute most people would say no, but if asked would you marry a prostitute's daughter that doesn't like this game and has never been in it, would you do it, to have a prostitute as a mother in law and grand mother of your children?

  .

  i personally wouldn't do it hard though it may be on her decent daughter.

  In this generation, Virgins are very rare. Unfortunately sluts, whores, prostitutes, or whatever label you desire to give a fornicator, the point is , it is inevitable to marry a non virgin in these times. You can only deal with what you get.

  I find this unbelieveable . Why would it be circleing in an email, if there is any merit or truth to it. Umm would it not serve a better purpose to have sent it to the WTS! Seems bogus to me.

  Jerusalem 607 BCE Vindicated

  W hy Jehovah’s Witnesses are right for sticking to the Bible’s chronology of 607 BCE for the destruction of Jerusalem. Arguments for 587 BCE are scripturally flawed, causing four Bible prophecies to fail. The year 607 BCE really is the only date that works with the Bible.

  Contents

  • Introduction: Why is 607 BCE important? (start here)
  • The real issue: seventy years
  • Seventy years of what?
  • Is Jerusalem included in the 70 years of desolation?
  • Ruins, desolation, waste, a wasteland
  • Servitude to the King of Babylon for 70 years?
  • Did the 70 years begin in Neb’s 1st year?
  • Did the 70 years begin with Assyria’s defeat?
  • Does 607 make Daniel unrealistically old?
  • The 70 years for Tyre
  • Egypt’s 40-year desolation
  • Zechariah: Did the 70 years continue after 537?
  • What about 519 BCE?
  • Conclusion: 607 BCE – the only year that works

  Appendix

  • A: The Seven Times prophecy
  • B: Secular records “correcting” the Bible
  • C: Why does the NWT use the word “devastations” and not “ruins” at Daniel 9:2?
  • D: Josephus’ account of the exiles from Jerusalem
  • E: Excuses for only 68 years
  • F: Jeremiah 25:18 - Just as at this day
  • G: Attempts to explain away Egypt problem
  • H: Jeremiah 52:20 - where did the exiles come from?
  • I: Ezekiel 33:24, 27 - these devastated places?
  • J: Ezekiel 33:24, 27 - ten years prior?
  • K: Jeremiah 29:10 - eighty years at Babylon?
  • L: Ezekiel 28:3 - Why was Daniel already famous?
  • M: Rolf Furuli on Vat 4956
  • N: Daniel’s gross inconsistency?
  • O: An example of counting a vassal kingship

  o timothy, guard what is laid up in trust with you, turning away from the empty speeches that violate what is holy and from the contradictions of the falsely called knowledge.

  21 for making a show of such [knowledge] some have deviated from the faith.

  did anyone see the last 2 episodes of dr phil concerning the abduction of two girls by their father into the remote mennonite communities in belize?.

  it was interesting to hear dr phil describe the girls' affect as being "flat" and that something just wasn't right.

  the mother believes the girls have been brainwashed into the "plain" lifestyle.

  All the father teaches them is to run. The mother teaches them to hide.

  sKally

  The father is teaching his girls that there are people and children that will not cause them harm. Giving them a choice .

  He is religious , why is it that if someone expresses their religion , they are alledged fanatics.

  I see that religion as good for them.

  By there own admission they were happy there, and content on remaining , but they made a mature choice because of the love that was still there for the mom, to give her the benefit of there doubts, And what did she do, exactly what they feared.
