  for newbies, who was carl olof jonsson?

  he was a jw in sweden who was challenged by a householder in the 1960s, who pointed out to him that secular history books don’t agree with watchtower that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, but instead place the event 20 years later.

  the reason the date is important is because it is the starting date for jw chronology which leads to 1914 as the end of the gentile times, and the beginning of the last days, as jws understand it.

  Me I'm very ignorant about all this but weren't there Jews left behind in Jerusalem who could easily have began preparations particularly as they were working class and likely to be the kind to do most of the actual rebuilding / cleaning etc?.

  Jeffro I was referring to preparations for making the trip from Babylon to Jerusalem rather than preparation for rebuilding Jerusalem.

  Apologies for the confusion I didn't put it very clearly. What I meant was that having people in and around Jerusalem (probably old servants & their famillies) would help speed up preparations. (I'm sure they dispatched messengers to Jerusalem straight away) I just imagined they wouldn't need to take so much if things were waiting on their arrival? Just a supposition that would speed up the job?

  Biden running in 2024 🤣

  i've filed this under news and world events, although i could've posted it under entertainment, lol.

  apparently, joe biden will be seeking re-election for another term in the white house.. this, despite a recent poll showing that 70% of people don't want him to run again.. biden just has to be the worst president i've seen.

  his gaffes, over-relience on a prompter, and, more than any other president, his refusal to answer journalists' questions, all go to make him top of the list in terms of bad presidents.. it will certainly provide entertainment, if nothing else..

  Slim that piece you posted is bang on. I agree about Robert Kennedy too.

  And yes punky...politicians are all corrupt charlatans who are only there for their own gain and to stick their filthy fingers in the pie.

  Opening doors, putting your foot in the door and other dangerous activities

  i was listening to the news and there is this big brouhaha about someone shooting someone through their front door.

  apparently the person tried to open the door of an elderly person, scaring the homeowner and they shot a gun injuring the person.

  obvious castle doctrine case.. which made me remember a rather overzealous old pioneer that used the same tactics when he knew the homeowners were home but didn’t want to come to the door, he would start opening the storm doors and try to see if the door was unlocked so he could yell inside.

  There's been two in one week. Second was fatal. A young lady turned into the wrong driveway. The second didn't make many news stations because doesn't fit the media's current narrative...perpetrator and victim being the same race.

  Let's not underestimate Mark Sanderson. Behind the gentle porky look could lie a big bad wolf.

  100% He's got to divert that sex drive somewhere (well food, obviously....but the will to power.....)

  America is finished. All the while men in dresses have been piping up about Russian dis information the Chinese have been laughing their asses off. Asians in the US have the battle of their lives to obtain places at the prestigious universities, meanwhile kids who can barely manage average scores gain places because diversity🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

  We honestly don't deserve it. May the title 'superpower of the coming century' go to the most deserving nation.....which won't be us*.

  *When I say "us" I mean our offspring of course. Not literally 🇬🇧😂

  God's first Creation

  the first of god's works was..........behemoth.

  job 40:19 he is the reshit (firstling) of the ways of el; he, his maker, can approach it with his cherev (sword).. ok, where to start.

  first of all, yes the word in context does imply 'first'.

  Peaceful P. Note that the ferocity of the Behemoth is such that only God can approach it with his sword. Thus demonstrating his control over his creation.

  Interesting! The more ancient the writing/section of the Bible, the more anthropomorphic God is. Hence God literally "wielding" a sword

  And some of the many Jews who remained in Babylon might also have helped with the preparations.

  I'm very ignorant about all this but weren't there Jews left behind in Jerusalem who could easily have began preparations particularly as they were working class and likely to be the kind to do most of the actual rebuilding / cleaning etc?.

  Jeffro Which means Tyre is still a definite failure. And so is Babylon since Hillah occupies the same land with only a small heritage protected area of ruins a few hundred meters across.

  Nice one!☺️
