  Seriously - their whole theology is such a tangled web of so many easily provable falsehoods - why try picking around in it to find some tiny grain of truth that may have escaped?

  The infamous "Zero Year" in Biblical calculations

  maybe i'm being too critical and don't understand other relevant factors, but it seems very strange to me that that those who studied bibical prophesies and timelines didn't know that there was no zero year.. i mean, if you are trying to map events from the bc/bce era to the current ad/ce era wouldn't it be somewhat obvious to a scholar how the time is calculated ?.

  couldn't you just find a common date on the jewish calendar before and after the zero year and compare it to today's gregorian calenadar to find the number of actual years that elapsed?.

  maybe it's more complex than i understand but if you are in the business of making predictions, it seems like you should know the basics.. rub a dub.

  What makes it worse is if they were so fixated on 1914 that they changed the root date by a year to make up for it instead of making the end date a year sooner.

  Horrifying Demon Attack: My Experience

  by laverite in

  2. friends

  on a warm summer day when i was about 12 years old (early 1980s), i was home alone for a brief time (family had gone to the grocery store).

  i had always been terrified of the demons and was constantly worried about a possible demon attack.

  being born in, growing up a dub, the devil and his demons were always either on my mind or not too far from conscious thought.

  Sadly, I have known people who were so "into demons" that they would have denied it was actually an earthquake.

  Or, claimed that it was an earthquake "caused by the demons".

  Eastwood was OK, but he never should have tried to sing in that movie he did with Lee Marvin.

  The wild thought: that all Christians were part of the 144,000.

  Blondie - isn't it obvious that only the Governing Body is really part of the 144,000?

  Actually, JWoods, they also were not of the idea that all non-jws were going to die at Armageddon, just infrastructure like religious, commercial, and political organizations would be destroyed. It was a much more enlightened time I guess.

  Yeah - but thank Gawd that old Rutherford got them straightened out just in time (after a few hard slugs of Canadian Club).

  jonathan perfetto in new hampshire is fighting his case in concord new hampshire's courts.

  he was convicted of having child pornography on his computer a few years ago.

  he very much wants to go to the meetings but the sentence he was given prohibits him from having any association with children.

  Why the hell can't this pervert just call in to the Kingdom Hall and listen to it electronically like bedridden witnesses or witnesses in rest homes do?
