  more specifically, could you tell me your thoughts on verses such as:.

  matthew 24:14. and could anyone give me some factual stats on the fact that jw's dont actually preach worldwide, or at least aren't recognized worldwide???.

  and yes, i do need to be reassured!

  as of 6:02 pm last night i received a facsimile from paul hoeffel at the un on the wts.. he gave me 3 of the 4 things i requested in two paragraphs.. i have sent a scanned version to steve bates and someone else.. i sent it to kent and randy.

  and kent and randy have posted the official united nations letter on their web sites.. here is the letter - put your cursor on the image and then right click on your mouse and hit "save image" to your computer.. .

  after you look at kent's web site and you people still think this it is a fake letter, phone paul hoeffel yourself at (212) 963-8070.. hawk

  The Central Doctrine

  by gibsite in

  2. friends

  i posted the following on "beliefs doctrines & practices" and the silence was deafening.

  perhaps someone here is willing to comment ?.

  "i have no wish to appear disrespectful to jehovah's witnesses but as a recent "study" i have to take issue with them on their central doctrine.. anybody with even a basic understanding of historical chronology is aware that the dating of events in ancient history is done purely on a relative basis.

  there is absolutely no possibility that by simply applying a given number of solar years to such events we can arrive at a precise, or even approximate, date on our modern calendar.

  no device or method exists which would enable this to be done.. the issue is not one of whether we accept the chronology of jehovah's witnesses over the chronology of secular historians and chronologists because neither can be attached precisely to our calendar.
