Heck, yes. Short phrases and commands most certainly. Dogs may not use language to plan as we do, however. My dog friend knows Walkies, Outside, Car Ride, and Dinner very well. Besides commands like Up, Around, Go, Stand, and GeteOuttaThere.

I had a brother in law who hid his nastiness behind his, "Just kidding!" persona. Smiley faces don't cover it.
BTW Blondie is the most straightforward and honest lady I have ever met.

Can anyone disprove 607 BCE date using only the NWT and WT literature?
by Bart Belteshassur ini haven't come across any arguement that does not involve secular history and external references.
in fact the wt can not get to 607 bce without using external sources as in knowing that they need to get back from 1914 ce to 607 bce, and botching an argument using an external date as reference to create their start point at 537 bce.. i realize that to get the final date we must provide a fixed figure from somewhere which can only be a historical source, but the objective would be to disprove the wt flim flam.
once that is achieve we can use which ever fixed historical point they wish to chose.

Heck, the WTS can't come up with their date unless they refer to at least one external secular source. Floating candles.

Two things to keep in mind. No bible events can be given a date unless some marker is associated with an external verifiable event. I liken the problem to floating candles in a pond. The association of the candles to each other can be determined internally as bible events can be associated with each other, but to find a DATE one must anchor something to a known secular event.
Secondly, one can determine that the Babylonian exile was for a different length than the WTS scholars claim simply by adding up the years of the succession of Kings. This has been done several times on the board.

I'm too cheap to subscribe so I won't chime in on the article. Blondie you are so right that no-one knows the hour so a speculating Witness is indulging in futile activity.
I recall Pinker's explanation that extreme terrorist groups have a built-in expiry date. To remain terrifying and thereby noticed, they become ever more extreme until even their supporters distance themselves. I think the most positive outcome would be if the Muslim majority rallied to crush these bullies.
