at this week clam meeting, jeremiah 29:10 is discussed:.
jer 29:10—how does this verse demonstrate the accuracy of bible prophecy?
the mistranslation of this verse is the basis of the idea that the jews spend 70 years in exile in babylon.
Thanks!

Just reading those study articles made my head hurt.
So many loop the loops, twists and turns to justify their authority, and always ending up at square one
The flimsy evidence they produce to show that Jesus of Nazareth appointed them as His FDS is laughable.
Also, paragraph one of the second study states that Jesus of Nazareth had been with His disciples for 2 years ...
Two years???????!!!!!!!
If, according to WT, His ministry lasted for 3 and 1/2 years, and the Bible shows right after His baptism He selected His apostles and sent them out to gather others, how could He have been with them for only 2 years?

*** yb77 pp.
173-174 liberia ***.
after sitting down, the witnesses were told to look at the sun, and soldiers watched their eyes to make sure they were staring at the blazing sun.
@Hecce
The president of Liberia at that time was William V. S. Tubman - yes, a connection to Harriet, who is soon to replace Old Hickory on the 20$ bill.
Mr. Tubman's family family emigrated to Africa at the behest and under the auspices of the very rich Tubman family of Georgia by way of Maryland, Harriet's home state.
I LOVE HISTORY.
@ Bungi
Alabama is my home, Wilcox County born and bred. The Alabama River runs the entire length of the county. When I was a child, a Black man was forced into a tub, the tub was filled with cement, man and tub were thrown into the river. His crime? He got too uppity with a White man. Based on experiences like this, and others, I have to respectfully disagree with you.

okay, i keep reading something and though jw's do not get involved in national wars, my experience has always been they are very violent people.
every convention i have ever been to was filled with children being beat within an inch of their lives for just not being able to take a third day of mind-droning silence without being able to move or now even sleep.
i have seen whole congregations laugh at stories of children being beaten and calling out to "jehovah".
You're in my heart NJWS.

the way that the wt conducts business in russia, hiding ownership of property and moving money overseas, was a large factor in the jws falling afoul of the russian authorities.
it wasn't just 'extremist' views that came into play, it was also their handling of money that was illegal.. this article is from a russian news source - i had to use google translate to read it, so i have copied and pasted the whole article (i usually don't...apologies to the author of the article).
if someone has russian language skills, please feel welcome to offer a better translation.. .
Uh-oh
Somebody's in trouble ...

Hey, NJWS.
I didn't mean to imply we're inferior in any sense.
It's just that I'm busy searching for the source of such a disparity, and all roads point to some misdeed on Ham's part that made Noah curse him. The Book of Jasher tells what that misdeed was.
I've also found that Noah cursed Ham's son, Canaan, for seizing control of land that had not been allotted to him - Book of Jubilees.
I believe these accounts are historical.
