537?? I assume you mean 539, but you repeated it ......
537 BC, the date when Cyrus deposed Babylon
You still dont answer any questions Eggy, you appear to start to then just trail off like you run out of ideas or enthusiasm or else lose your train of thought.
new video released at summer 2011 dc convention is online.

Thanks for that, ....but ripping it to a .AVI would have been more user friendly...
Joliette, open the folder and click on the .VOB files , 01_1.VOB is the 1st half, 02_1.VOB is the 2nd half. If you dont have anything to play those files then use this: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ this also has a play folder option so just point it at the folder containing the video instead.

I think "Eggnog" should be classified as a new language spoken by people with forked tongues.
Cant you smell the shit you are shovelling Eggnog? You're in a hole but you are still digging hard, it isnt helping. Blatantly distancing yourself from the JWs who you rate as stupid, then claiming you dont do that very thing in your post above, that now seems to be par for the course of your behaviour here. Yet you dont or cant see that!
I definately think you are not quite all there my friend. I repeat that I now think you have severe Aspergers so our trying to "reason" with you is likely never going to work and is a pointless excercise, much like talking to Alice / Rachel / Maze.

I'm seriously beginning to think Eggnog has Asperger's syndrome, he's displaying classic symptoms here at any rate....
i'm well into the book, can't put it down, it is just so fascinating and so utterly devastating to the credibility of the wtbts.
i suspect that any jehovah's witness who has a modicum of self respect and intelligence could not but finish the book a step or more on the path to emancipation from this awful, people destroying religion.. i really want my wife to read this book but i anticipate that she will refuse on the basis of it having been banned by the society as the worst kind of apostate literature.
i am genuinely saddened that she will not grant me the same kind of trust and respect she gives so lovingly to her watchtower masters and i will doubtless say this to her when she turns down my invitation.
I agree with lostgeneration, do the reverse witnessing technique of leaving "your literiture" around the house where she will see it, on the arm of her favorite chair, on the table etc open at relavent pages like witnesses do to get their familly members to read their stuff... She wont like it, but then she'll get to feel what it's like for non witnesses having the WTS stuff discreetly shoved under their noses all the time by their witness.
You need some female input here probably tbh.

You're right, use the female approach:
If you dont agree to study the WTS history with me then I'm divorcing you! You have 2 weeks to make your mind up! ...
(My mother did this to my non JW dad to make him study with the JWs.)
i didn't go to college and of course, "higher education" was never recommended.
still, i never felt terribly deprived because of not going further in my education.. yet, i did wish that i could've had "normal" aka "worldly friends".
i wish that as witnesses, we could've been better integrated with other people.
I was going to say that serenity, but then realised i had more as well, but in my mind yes it is top of my list.

I'm sure you've tried or thought of most of the angles by now including this one:
That would be my line of reasoning. How can (or could) we come to rational informed decision to get baptised as JWs if we are NOT allowed to view anything negative about the organisation? It should be a "warts and all" decision and not done based on biased one sided information (actually misinformation) only.
i am just wondering since these people never work a secular job.
is there some sort of an arrangement from the society to care for them?
presuming they don't even have children of their own to look after them when they are old..
Mass graves....
