we all know the calculations used by the wt to arrive at 1914. fall of babylon in 607 (false year), gentile times, no zero year, ta-da, 1914.. what did they use before that?
i know it wasn't russell who came up with it - he just adopted it.
i'm just curious what they had to explain away when they made the transition.. .

Hello everyone. I couldn’t resist:
Remember? …
(Matthew 24:33-35) . . .. 34 Truly I say to YOU that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.

“I love jw.org! It is user-friendly and has inspired me
to be more zealous about personal study and my ministry.
I am 72 years old, have been baptized for 47 years,
and have pioneered for over 30 years. I am the mother
of 9 baptized children and have 16 grandchildren and 3
great-grandchildren. We now have four generations of
regular pioneers in our family. I thank Jehovah for this
spiritual food at the proper time.”—M.T., United States.
Now, the Society’s Governing Body members can count:

Great-grandDaughter one generation
Total GENERATIONS!!!
Greating to all, J.C. MacHislopp
a thread on another forum reminded me of a letter i wrote to the person that went to the elders and started the proceedings to have me disfellowshipped.
i stopped believing in the religion when i was 25 but continued going for about ten years.
i finally started to fade at 35, but about 6 months after i had stopped going to meetings, a person wrote a letter to the elders about my website, which at the time was anonymous.
Hello Paul,
great letter. I do like this point:
"having a tremendous influence in preventing people
contacted by Witnesses from joining the religion"
That's the truth about web sites like yours and this one.
Thanks for sharing it.

Hello jeremiah 18:5-10,
I do agree with yopur counsel :
" Don't allow conversation only to revolve around JWism.
Redirect conversations to being about life in general.
Ask questions and listen"
I do believe that's all in a nut shell. 3 Excellent points.
Keep us informed.
Greetings J.C. MacHislopp
before i dive into the actual write-up of this experience, let me put some things straight.. i have thought long and hard if i should write more about my experiences during the 10+ years at different branches.
during these years i worked from financial department, service department, home office and different it assignments.
as you can imagine one sees and hears and reads a lot of stuff going through different stations in different countries.
Hello Blue Pill2,
many thanks for sharing the story. It looks almost untrue... but only for those who have not
experienced the Society's dealing in certain situation. Personally I don't have any doubts on
what you have written so far. Again thanks for those revealing facts which might help to see
clearer some readers of this excellent forum.
Greetings to you,
J.C. MacHislopp

above all thanks for your personal e-mail, im feeling better.
now, i couldnt help to post this:.
from the book " riches " by j.f.
Hello everyone,
Above all thanks for your personal e-mail, I’m feeling better.
Now, I couldn’t help to post this:
From the book " RICHES " by J.F. Rutherford (publishers WTBS , Inc. in the year 1936, pp. 244-245
For many years tribute money has been collected from the people of the nations of "Christendom" and sent to the Vatican at Rome to fill the
245
coffers of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy, and this has been greatly to the oppression and detriment of the people. In Mexico alone for many years the Hierarchy extracted from the pockets of the common people annually thirty million dollars, which money was sent to the treasurer of the Hierarchy at Rome. It was in Mexico where an agent of the Catholic organization compelled the natives to build in one small town many so-called "church buildings" and there installed priests of the Hierarchy that they might collect from the poor natives practically all they earned. The ancient Philistines attempted to get all the riches of the Israelites; and likewise the modern Philistines attempt to get and control all the riches of the world called "Christendom".
For all those who are ‘ignorant ‘ about the definition of “Roman Catholic Hierarchy” the same book " RICHES " by J.F. Rutherford , states on pages 228-229:
228
...The Roman Catholic Hierarchy is defined in its own publications as follows: "The Catholic Hierarchy, or the governing body of the Catholic Church, consists of His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff, assisted by the Sacred College of Cardinals and by several
229
Sacred Congregations, or permanent ecclesiastical committees, of which the Cardinals are the chief members; by the Patriarchs, Archbishops and Bishops; by the Apostolic Nuncios and Delegates, Vicars and Prefects, and by certain Abbots and other Prelates." (See The Official Catholic Directory, 1935.)
And remember the book “RICHES” was publisged in the year 1936.
Grretings, JC MacHislopp
PS Among all of you ,special greetings to Blondie and many wishes for a full
Recovery.
i have to practice and get better at parallel parking or i am never going to get my license.
i can get the car in the space but i just can't seem to get it out of there without crossing the lines where your not suppose to go.
when you cross the lines it means if there was a car there you would have bumped it.
Hello Petra,

and all your efforts to prepare in the most practical way.
Greetings and best wishes for your driving.

hello again folks - as promised in my last thread here, i've been working on turning yearbook statistics into excel spreadsheets.. coincidentally, today is my 25th birthday (spare a thought for a fader).. i've now updated the spreadsheet with yearbook data all the way back to 1988 (the year i was born), therefore it now contains 25 years of statistics.. there were a lot of countries changing around and for some it was possible to create a continuation of data.
some are a simple change of name like south-west africa to namibia.
others, for example - in 1993 with czechoslovakia splitting into two countries (czech republic and slovakia) i have added an extra row that provides a continuation of the data, combining czech republic and slovakia back together as if they were still one country.
Hello 88JM,
thank you very much for all your hard but extremely useful work.
To downlmoad I've used sendspace...no problem at all? In a very short
time I've downloaded both excel format.
For statistics and other kind of researches your work is excellent.
I'll give you some personal comment another time./
Thanks again, greetings
MacHislopp
