William Miller taught that Jerusalem fell in 606 because and the teaching was picked up as new religions developed which included the JWs and Seventh day Adventists.

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 ¶ 6 under the heading "the historicity of the book of daniel".

Get baptised or die!
by AverageJoe1 inso it would seem that the wts are going back to their old scare tactics again, going by this week’s watchtower study.. loyal baptized ones will be preserved when the present wicked world meets its end.
(mark 13:10; rev.
7:9, 10) this makes dedication and baptism very important.

Yet they've previously said that only JWs as a group will be saved. Individual protection at Armageddon is no guaranteed.

August 2018 Study Watchtower - Some wise words for JW's to consider!
by The Fall Guy indo you have the facts?.
page 3 - as true christians, we need to develop the ability to evaluate information and reach accurate conclusions.. page 4 - it is especially important to avoid (view) websites promoted by apostates.
(awakened jw's) their whole purpose is to tear down (inform) god’s people and to distort (reveal) the truth.

JP1692 It is literally impossible to be sure you have the facts—especially ALL the facts—if you only have a single source of information.
That single source of information is also constantly changing. It can't be factual to begin with.

Governing Body speaker ratings
by Fay Dehr inok, it's time.
we've had opportunity to observe the 8 gb members speaking ability.
now it's our turn to give our honest ratings...using their own form, of course!

I don't know how a speaker can interpret his own talk. I would have thought it was the listener that does that.
Personally, I give most of them a plus or minus C except for Splane, who gets a B.
The other surprising aspect regarding the talk rating is their failure to rate any speaker regarding their ability to clearly and effectively discuss scripture.

Page 6 Our emotions...could begin to govern our thinking.
This is why their broadcasting is their new powerful tool. Not one monthly broadcast passes by without tears shown and emotion used to manipulate.
As for getting the facts, it's almost impossible to get all the facts from this organization when they choose to hide so much.

Can a DF person testify at a judicial committee?
by JeffT inthis may be a plot point in a novel i'm working on.
will a judicial committee take testimony from a df'd or da person?
i could see them wanting to get dirt from any possible source, on the other hand i can picture somebody saying "he's df'd everything he says will be a lie.

They specifically state that it must be from a 'credible witness' but I don't recall where they have defined what that is. -

Help me with the disfellowshipping topic, how is it NOT scriptural
by LevelThePlayingField inmany have said that jesus never shunned anyone.
yet it seems that the apostle paul said to shun an unrepentant sinner, "stop keeping company" and "not even eating with such a man" 1co 5:9-12. it seems like shunning is what paul wanted us to do.
but honestly, it doesn't seem right to me.

JWfacts.com gives a good all round view on the matter.
It is to be expected that someone who is not complying with the membership rules of an organization should be stripped of his membership. The Watchtower goes to extremes from the very first step, dobbing people in through to the secret, unrecordable three committee JC then disfellowshipping even when someone has stopped sinning and shunning.
