Awake Magazine - No Longer Being Printed?

by JWTom in

jw
friends

someone made reference in another post that the awake magazine had ceased publication.

maybe i missed it since i have not been on here as much in the last 6 months.

is this true?

Hi,

I heard some week ago , a letter read at Kingdom "Zoom" Hall, that the 'number 2' will be available for a special campaign ... but since ... nothing .... more In French Assemblies

Interesting Find with Chronology

by Kelley959 in

i hope this is in the right area.

i've been studying the 2520 days/years 607/587/586 debacle.

for a while now i have felt 1914 was wrong.

Hi,

no need complex calculation

Just look units

-607 is solar year of 365.25 days

2520 was given in prophetic year of 360 days

https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1984241?q=2520++360&p=doc

A Day for a Year
How do we know that the “seven times” are 2,520 years? The calculations are made in a way similar to those made by the Watch Tower Society’s first president, C. T. Russell, in 1877 and recorded in the book he coauthored entitled The Three Worlds. This is how it is done: In Revelation chapter 12, verses 6 and 14, we learn that 1,260 days are equal to “a time [that is, 1 time] and times [that is, 2 times] and half a time,” or a total of 3 1⁄2 times. So “a time” would be equal to 360 days. “Seven times” would be 360 multiplied by 7, or 2,520 days. Now if we count a day for a year, according to a Bible rule, the “seven times” equal 2,520 years. (Numbers 14:34; Ezekiel 4:6) Therefore, the duration of the “seven times,” the Gentile Times, is from 607 B.C.E. to 1914 C.E.

You rise an error if you add nautic miles and miles ... the same here

when JW calculates 1914 in solar year they make an error of units

they don't convert prophetic year or solar year ...

-607 solar year + 2520 prophetic year != 1914 solar year

as

2 nautic mile + 2 miles != 4 miles

Complexity, Evolutionists Biggest Problem

by Sea Breeze in

recently, some scientists modeled one of the simplest known cells - that of a bacteria.

it took an army of 128 computers running for 10 hours to process the data required in the 25 categories of molecules that are involved in this "simple cells'" life processes.

think about that for a moment - 128 computers running for 10 hours just to compute the data, not actually do it mind you; but just to model the known processes in one of the simplest known cells, which is many orders of magnitude simpler than a human cell.

Hello,

Such a calculation is misleading.

I explain, in the real world all chemical reactions occurs at same time.

But in computer calculation , it's a simulation with our scientific comprehension of the phenomenom.

There is another problem what is exactly the purpose of this calculation simulate all chemical reaction or only a part ?

If you simulate all reaction .. we should use chemical quantum theory.

If you think that for hydrogen computation there are only one electron that interract with atomic nucleus ... for carbon you have 6 electrons who interact with nucleus .. but also with other electrons ...

so, if quantum calculation is easy for hydrogen

1 orbital 1s1 ...

with

carbon

1s2 2s2 2p2

electrons on orbital 1s interact with electron on 2s and 2p

2s interact with 1s and 2p

2p interact with 1s and 2s

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger_equation

If you think that we cannot compute exactly with math more than 3 electrons

but the real world made it ...

and this is only one atom ... a little protein in living cell has 100 or 200 atoms ...

The problem is not the "complexity" that we think to see here but what we want to simulate and the tools we use ...

At the other hand ... we could simulate these reaction in a real living cell when we

modify one thing at time ...

The reaction will be immediate but the time to analyze resulting data could take time ...

with computation ... calculation take time and analyze resulting data could be fast

To see a tree is immediate , study a tree take time , even without calculation or theorical work ( see botanist work :) )

or comparing real world of airplane and FlightSimulator :)

To conclude, it is an interresting work , but it could be misleading to compare real world

to simulation and conclude that complexity is a problem for evolutionist ...

It's not the same world, nor the same reality, nor finality ...

Memorial this year?

by carla in

how are they handling the memorial this year?

zoom or open kh's?

how do they reject the wine & bread in their own home?

keinlezard

Hi,

Same in France ... zoom ...

But What about Russia ? I explain,

It's obvious that brothers and Sisters from russia facing trials and jails and fines because WT and GB forced them to continue proselitism despites the law ...

Today ( I hope for them ) Russian JW are like all other JW and do all with zoom or phone , but I am not sure then I ask about them

Best regards
