  I am seriously considering writing an E-book

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw

  it is wise for a first time writer to write about what he knows, so i will write about my lifetime as a jehovah's witness.

  but it will likely be less autobiographical and more about the sub-level markers that eventually pointed me out of the cult, doctrinal matters that bothered me under the surface, and the very real lack of love in that organization.. ideas?

  thoughts?

  i ask because i've been posting at jwd/jwn for 10 years now.

  i was a rapidly fading jw when i started but still considered myself a christian for a good few years more.

  now i've embraced reason and rejected faith i'm a very happy atheist and enjoy learning more about the fact of evolution.. what about you?.

  so i ran across this statement today in doing some research:.

  take, for instance, the stories and legends regarding the origin of man.

  calling all research geeks, please help if you can.. .

  in doing some research on joseph rutherford, a couple weeks ago i came across an interview he gave to a missouri newspaper talking about his upcoming theocratic convention in st. louis in august 1941. the newspaper may have been the globe-democrat.

  i remember it had a black-and-white portrait photo of rutherford, and the caption said 'this is their leader.

  Who first applied Daniel 9 to the Christian's Jesus?

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am seeking information, not an exegesis or an eisegesis.. .

  "somewhere", i came across a statement identifying the person/group that first interpreted the 70 "sevens" of daniel 9 as identifying the year of jesus' appearance as the "messiah".. .

  try as i might, i cannot relocate that information, so i am hoping someone can point me to authoritative sources that identify the person/group who first provided that interpretation, and hopefully the contemporary context.. .
