  Jerusalem destroyed 607 or 586/7?

  by isaacaustin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  let's try this again...most of us are aware that all available evidence points to the time of jerusalem's destruction at the 586/7bc time frame.

  overwhelming evidence includes astronomical phenomena, achaeological evidence, bank records, the bible itself.. some hold to 607bc, for obvious reasons- the implications it has.

  thoughts on how this would effect the average witness if forced to conclude 607 is wrong?

  I feel really angry

  by Quester55 in

  2. beliefs

  i feel angry, bitter, resentful and stupid.

  when i was in my 30's and young and strong, and had a long stretch of life ahead of me, i went along with the jw's and didn't get my education.

  now that i am 50, divorced and barely making a living as a teacher aide, i am scrounging around trying to get the loans and grants to enable me to go to school to earn a b.a.

  BIG WEEKEND JW NEWS STORY EXPOSES HEARTLESS CULT

  by West70 in

  the following newspaper article appears to be the original (and more lengthy and indepth) article from which associated press took their "summarized" (and less informative) story which is being picked up by a number of television stations and newspapers across the u.s. .

  this better version should be forwarded to media outlets as a more informative version for their audience.

  they also embrace political neutrality.

  Me and my brother.

  an earlier discussion has been highlighting the differences between da'ing and df'ing.

  xena said:i am sorry qadreena but i have never in the 20 some odd years i have been a jw ever heard of an unbaptised publisher being d/aed...marked as bad association yes..but d/a...no...but i guess stranger things can happen.... well that brought it all back.. actually xena the exact same thing happened to my brother in the early 80's.

  he was only 14. he'd carried on associating with a friend of his who'd been disfellowshipped.
