If her answer says that Nebuchadnezzar began his reign in 605 BC then she is correct, but the calculation she uses for Christ's return in 1914 will be 20 years out and will now be 1934.
Sorry for stupid question - Why is that true?

my long time friend recently took the plunge (baptized) and is now trying to recruit me.
one of the first things she told me is how all the "other religions" should be carefully inspected, because they are all wrong, in a nut shell.
so, i asked the obvious: i'm not concerned with all the others, i'm here to talk about your's.

"pastor russell's miracle wheat" is known, but has anyone ever heard of miracle oil?
i found this ad in january 15, 1922 golden age:.
i found a notice in june 24, 1922 new york times that "upper lubrication" of manhattan renamed itself to "upper lubrication co.", but that's all..
Processor, could you please scan complete page, showing it is from the Golden Age?

i am interested in summarising how rutherford and the wts originally set forth the 607 (606) -1914 chronology.
this is hidden from witnesses today and only a sanitized "trimmed for easy consumption" version is taught to avoid "confusing" the faithful.
for thirty years the questions ate a larger and larger hole in my gut as a jw as it became more evident that the full truth was not being revealed to us for ulterior motives.
Great thread - does anybody has a scan of a WTBS publication stating 606 BCE (before they realized their miscalculation and switched to 607)?

ok so the mate took good notes at the ca and here is the newest on "higher education:.
the usual bashing of motives: those who want great wealth, prestige and seek it in a college educationcollege graduates don't always get jobs in their fieldsdrugs, drinking and sex are "rampant" at collegesthose who want to "snatch us away" are near if we go to college (isa 54)if we seek a college education, we are not spiritual mindedthe most disturbing for me was this:.
those who choose college will not get blessings from jehovahand of course there was the obligatory interview with the college graduate who disdains the education whe received.. .
I am thankfull for this clear position of WTBS on education:
What better proof WTBS is a cult you can get?
It is so clear when you listen to some talks on college/education they are just a mind controlling cult... I use it a lot in discussions with my JW wife - there is nothing she can say on that...
Discouraging people from getting education ... just think - why do they say it??? It is so clear .... Why did communist regimes persecute educated people ? ... sending them to labor camps??? The more education you have, the more questions you ask, the more difficult it is to control you ... It is so clear!!!!!
Rank and File: You do not need education! Be stupid, ask no questions and believe whatever we say!!!
