  How to debunk the 1914 calculus ONLY using JW publications?

  by psyco in

  i remember having read somewhere, but i cannot find it anymore, that it is possible to debunk the 1914 calculus using only jw publications, like "insight on the scriptures" (chronologies) for example.. do you have any sources about that to suggest to me?.

  thanks..

  There is no grammatical argument necessary as a plain reading of the text and its context suffices.

  Because grammar defintely isn't used for a plain reading of the text.

  I don't see where, in that screen shot, they were recommending active JWs be prevented from attending via zoom if they were not vaccinated.

  It could say that. Honestly, the image is very hard to view on my phone.

  EDIT: you added another photo. But honestly, I can read it on my phone. :(

  No one could even attend via a video conference link as punishment for vaccination noncompliance.

  Woe, woe - is this true / widespread?

  Breaking news!

  It has been confirmed, by sources that know, in a last ditch effort to stop the financial bleeding, AMIII pursued and developed an entire line of perfumes and colognes named "Scents of the Governing Body".
  

  Apparently he was set to release one scent for each GB member, with each scent mirroring by the temperament and personality if said GB member. The first scent was set to be released in March: Morris Musk.

  Unfortunately, this pursuit was frowned upon by the GB, sealing his fate.

  So this is all just over Tony being unable to stop buying lotto scratchers?

  That's a letdown

  Well, it's not that he's buying a scratch-off now and then... it's that he won, maybe big.

  That is what I conclude when I read. Even if I wasn’t a JW ( which I am 100 percent ) I would believe that without doubt as I read the texts

  Then you aren't reading the verses grammatically. The first step in exegesis is to let the verse speak for itself. Don't impose bias on it. Read it assuming the writer knew what he was doing by choosing the words and grammar that he chose.
  
  "This whole country will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years."
  
  This is a compound sentence. If you read this as 'this country will become a desolate wasteland for 70 years and these nations will serve the king of Babylon 70 years', then you are reading meaning into the verse beyond its grammar.
  
  This is basically two sentences - which is why some Bibles just render it as two sentences.
  
  The 70 years attaches to 'servitude' of the 'nations' to Babylon. It cannot attach to desolation. If you make the argument that it really does say that but the English here hides the meaning, then you literally have every translator ever, including NWT forking up the translation here. You might as well just give up on ever understanding anything in the Bible.
  
  Starting in v17 there is an enumeration of nations. Verse 29 doesn't give an order of conquering unless you choose a version that plays fast and loose with paraphrasing.
  
  Verse 12 DOES give you an order of events at the end of the 70 years, which undercuts 537 as the end of the 70 years.
  
  Sorry, you are out of luck here. You are reading into the verse.

  Actually, Tony decided to reapportion funds, without GB approval, originally donated to the world wide work, to his new Tshirt line featuring "#JW4Life" and "#ThugJW" designs. Also, he produced a new JW rap album titled : "Everlasting Jams".
