the governing body and its watchtower society claims that in 1919 it was appointed by jehovah god and jesus christ to represent all of their earthly kingdom interests, to be their unique voice and sole representative towards all people on earth.
the watchtower’s authority lives or dies with that claim..
the society’s critical date of 1919 is calculated from the dates of events in the 6th century bce.
HI,
Resulting from helpful recommendations by several of you, I made adjustments to some details. None of these affects the substance. Some are cosmetic only.
To ensure that the touched up version is being accessed, I have added "Revision 2" to the filename.

Do you think I need to start another thread to ensure this Revision receives better exposure?

coalize,
I do not understand your question.
For the Watchtower Society, their key critically important date is 1919 CE. They use 1914 as well as the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians as distractions. I presume they know what they are doing.

Thomas,
I would be delighted if you translate it. If you need the original diagrams, email me.
I only ask that you send me the finished translation. I would add it to my site.
Contact me directly by email if you have any problems.
Is there anything else on my site (jwstudies.com) you would be interested in?

shepherdless,
Many thanks!
I have corrected the diagrams.
Please let me know of any other problems.
It is the Watchtower's duty to provide consistent, objective, incontrovertable evidence for their explanation of 1919. It is not good enough to work from possibilities and assumptions.
The Bible does not say that the Jews entered Egypt in the 7th month. The Bible does not say that Jerusalem fell in the 7th month. The WTS has a duty of care, a responsibility to discharge information with honesty and openness. We expect that of our secular authorities. Religious authorities should not have a lower standard.

shepherdless,
You are absolutely correct. I am deeply grateful and I shall fix the diagrams on pages 2 and 32.
You will have to give me a little while to addres the problem. This does not affect my reasoning, simply points out my artistic inabilities.
I shall let you know when I have done it.
Many thanks,
Doug

Thanks shepherdless. I do appreciate any corrections, however to help me, you will need to be more specific.
On that diagram at page 32, I have now added a "start" arrow pointing to "Babylon falls".

The Governing Body and its Watchtower Society claims that in 1919 it was appointed by Jehovah God and Jesus Christ to represent all of their earthly Kingdom interests, to be their unique voice and sole representative towards all people on earth. The Watchtower’s authority lives or dies with that claim.
The Society’s critical date of 1919 is calculated from the dates of events in the 6th century BCE. Does the Society provide consistent, objective, and undeniable evidence for its appointment in 1919? Is that evidence strong enough to make a person devote their life and energy to the Watchtower and to its Governing Body?

at pages 27 to 29 of its article, does the bible tell us the whole story about jesus?, “the watchtower” of april 1, 2010 discusses the subject: “who selected the canon?”.
the watch tower claims that professor oskar skarsaune and professor kenneth berding provide support for its contention that the list of christian greek scriptures was a product of some first-century christians who were endowed with “superhuman abilities”, and that the canon was not established in the second century..
does “the watchtower” tell the whole story on who selected the canon?.

Does it tell the whole story from the scholars that it quotes?

a short time ago i sought information regarding a quotation in the watchtower of april 1, 2010, which did not identify the exact source of the quotation from professor oskar skarsaune.
my interest was heightened because words had been omitted from the source.. the wts provided a copy of the original 29-page article, which is in norwegian.. here is my very unofficial personal translation of the passage from professor skarsaune's article that the watchtower is quoting.
firstly i provide the text as it appears in the watchtower magazine, highlighting where the text has been omitted.
TimDrake,
Thank you so much.
I am about to release a brief summary on the Society's creation of 1914. There will be nothing new in it but my intention is to provide a simple introduction and an overview.
