the watchtower mentions "reliable bible prophecy" in its writings, particularly those concerned with where we stand now in the stream of time.. but....what examples are there of "reliable bible prophecies"?.
are there any?
and are they "reliable"?.
1914 was reliable Bible prophecy.
This generation will not pass away.
The WTBTS is the printing arm of the FDS and the GB "represent" the FDS and Mathew 24:45 - 47 PROVES it.
Sorry not what you were after I know...

Brilliant book. Typical timing that I bought the book new about 3 weeks ago, I'd read it online elsewhere prior to that though. Still worth the money any day of the week.
if this has been covered before i apologise in advance.

i went to the sixscreens site to see if rick had posted any new conference calls, but the last one was from the 7th of may.
did he stop them?
was it the johnny "the bethelite" fiasco that put a stop to it all?
SICKSCREENS?
hey i'm wondering if anyone can give some good advice on how to step down in the safest way.. i have served as an ms for a number of years, but can't do it anymore.
i know too much i want to fade in the future when i get some family things straightened out.
i can't move right now so that's out unfortunately.. what should i tell the body?
It depends on your BOE obviously what will happen. I know with several MS's (including myself when I was one) low FS time is ignored generally and they only get pulled up if it is persistent and appears to have have no valid reason. So that would be a very long term method to follow unless you start doing 0s, 1s, 2s on your hours in which case they will take notice and likely remove you after several months of that.
I also know that ASKING to come off doesn't always work (my brother has asked to come off twice and been ignored), you have to TELL them you ARE coming off. But from your last posts i think you have done this now.

He's off doing research * Ann, he'll be back shortly. Part of me want's him(?) to bugger off and never come back here, but another part WANTs him to open his eyes and SEE. It is that part of me that has the upper hand at the moment, so I go with that for now.
* I bloody well hope he's off DOING research and carefully making sure of what he believes at any rate.

Why do you make any assumptions about my relationship with Jehovah? Equating Jehovah with Jehovahs Witnesses was a stroke of genius by Rutherford and serves to this day to close up the minds of JWs and hold them captive. Whom shall we go away to? Ring any bells?
Why make any assumptions about my belief in Jesus? Is it because you need to convince yourself that those who leave the JWs do so to pursue all manner of illicit pleasures and a godless life? And matters of doctrine or chronology could NEVER be the hub of the matter and is only some form of excuse?. The WTS would have you believe that. Why not put some rational thought into it and think for yourself instead of being told what to and what not to believe?
You may well convince yourself that these are YOUR thoughts, but they are not. You are not allowed to think. The regular repitition at meetings, assemblies, disctict conventions all serve to dull individuality and freedom of thought.
If you are JW as you appear to claim (though it's difficult to be sure you are or not from your distancing yourself from them on the one hand and then claiming to be one on the other) then deep down you will know this. You may deny it, but you do know it.
I'll tell you how it feels to discover that being a JW is based on lies / false chronology and mis interpretation of scripture. It SUCKS.
That's right it sucks. I did lots of research before reaching this point in my life and did not take this decision lightly as you would wish to believe. I carefully made sure of these things. I wanted to PROVE that the "truth" was indeed the truth and so that my best years (40) has not been wasted in just another cult.
So to discover instead that the WTS lies, twists, supresses information, cherry picks, misquotes etc etc just to uphold their delusion of being God appointed and MASTERs of my faith is in fact a hard pill to swallow. If ever you take your blinkers of and SEE then you will know what this feels like, and you will understand for yourself the hurt and anger often on display on sites like this one.
No one is trying to hoodwink you here Egg. The WTS has already done that job on you.

Not one of Jehovah's Witnesses is forced to believe our calculation to be true
So when I tell the elders that I dont believe 607 / 1914 they wont disfellowship me? is that what you are saying?
I didn't ask WHO you are, I asked WHAT you are. How does stating that you are a baptised JW who was baptised in xxxx year and serves as MS, Elder, Pioneer, CO, DO, GB, Archangel, Jesus etc have anything to do with anonimity? Or are you actually just a lowly long suffering JW wife with dreams of grandeur and we have you gender confused?
The rest is your usual insulting MO. (and you wonder why people tell you to fuck off.)

If 550 BC was his 6th year, then 539 BC would have been his 17th.
And we all know what happened next, ...Babylon fell and he reigned no longer. Zip, nada, end of, game over ,...no more "extra" years to try and insert into his 17 year reign.
