There are also Jews who take Seder Olem seriously and so think the temple was destroyed in 422 BCE

Facts can be just inconvenient truths that need suppressing in case they get in the way of real faith.

A non-Witnes who accepts 607 BC?
by careful inan eyebrow raiser to be sure.
i can understand the clergyman being so baptist that he'd still use the name jehovah since it was popular in english and german churches for a long time during and after the reformation, but 607?.
see ΒΆ 6 under the heading "the historicity of the book of daniel".

They must have been getting complaints about excessively soiled bed sheets from the Warwick laundry. Had they bothered to check they would have realised that it was all down to Brother Cook. He's just so excited to become the new Governing Body member he just can't help himself.

Twilight and other banned media
by purrpurr inthanks to online media of movies and books i've recently been watching the twilight series.
issues of quality aside i enjoyed it enough.
i mostly wanted to see what the fuss was about and have the fun of seeing a movie that was banned from the platform when it came out.

Is The Village banned?
Given the parallels between the village and the borg I think it's a good film to sneak on any witness.

Whilst you're looking at JW beliefs on the trinity you might also like to compare with Unitarianism. This link looks to provide a fairly neutral non doctrinaire stance.

The announcement is that the Governing Body have all been raptured to their heavenly calling. From now on JW Broadcasts will be presented by the Governing Body body double stand-ins (they're probably better actors anyway) whilst the rest of Bethel scramble round for new light to explain this unexpected turn of events.

Today's daily text made me laugh!
by paradisebeauty inanointed christians knew that 1914 would mark a turning point regarding divine rulership.
as soon as they discerned the fulfillment of bible prophecy, they boldly declared to others that gods rule had begun.
today, with so much evidence that gods kingdom is already established in heaven, why do the majority of people not accept what this means?

I found the 2014 English torrent from here worked fine last week.
http://www.kickassfrenchtorrents.gq/search/2014%20watchtower%20library/
You will also need to download torrent software such as qBittorrent (link below) to download the CD itself.
http://www.qbittorrent.org/
The first link downloads what you might think of as a request stub, it's a tiny file, not the CD itself. Open the first file downloaded and the torrent software goes off a starts downloading the CD. -
