If 1914 is wrong then how is it that it was such a landmark year?

this is the question that came up in my mind.

now dont get me wrong i know the dates from 607 - 1914 are rubbish, but how would you explain to a witness when they will automatically say, look at the momentus year 1914 was.

that is evidence enough that 607 is correct!.

Lowest estimates From WWI is 15,000,000

Lowest estimates from WWII is 40,000,000

Wonder which one was more significant in term of death results.

Atlanta airport worker turns in $7,000 in lost cash

Published March 06, 2013

Associated Press

ATLANTA – A part-time parking deck worker at Atlanta's airport says she never thought about keeping the envelope with $7,000 in cash she found on the curb outside the international terminal.

Pamela North Hollowaay says she turned it in right away, then watched as her supervisor counted the money and contacted Atlanta police to pick it up.

North Hollowaay says she could have kept the cash but didn't because she's an honest person who believes in doing the right thing.

A police report shows that the envelope contained 70 $100 bills.

Police tell WSB-TV that an Alabama podiatrist who was on his way to Costa Rica called police to see if anyone had turned in the money. Police say he was able to identify specific writing on the envelope and how the money was wrapped.

THIS NEEDS ITS OWN THREAD:: TODAY's WT Paragraph 16

by Lied2NoMore in

here is what got my spidey senses tingling: paragraph 16, reference to daniel p mannix book, was wondering if his statement was mis-quoted so i did my research.......but was even more shocked when i saw this: .

from amazon dot com reviews................ probably the most provocative work of historical fiction published this century,"those who are about to die" is pure mannix at his best.

a uncensured exploration of what likely took place in the circuses of ancient rome.

Didn't they say on last year's Yearbook that they do really really research before publishing? Yeah right.

by garyneal in

i think i heard that the wt recently announced that the fds is really the gb alone.

I always wonder if their approach in talking about the apostates might backfire. If you ask around, I will say way more than half of the Witnesess don't have an idea of what the apostates do or say. They just hear that word, and think that is somebody who left to build their own church or something like that.

So, their talking about apostates, might awake some hungry minds and make them actually looked it up online...

Back to topic, my bet is that they wmight release the "new" role of the FDS, as in "not-so-new", because they already acted as the FDS. Whatever.
