it was the adolescent male sex education for most of us.
one friend i had who's dad was a elder told me they always had playboys in his house because his dad subscribed to them.
No bunny told me 😬

Wondered if anyone else had seen it
Insight on the Scriptures - Vol 1. Chronology pg 453
Under Babylonian Chronology it reads;
A Babylonian clay tablet is helpful for connecting Babylonian chronology with Biblical chronology. This tablet contains the following astronomical information for the seventh year of Cambyses II son of Cyrus II: “Year 7, Tammuz, night of the 14th, 1 2⁄3 double hours [three hours and twenty minutes] after night came, a lunar eclipse; visible in its full course; it reached over the northern half disc [of the moon]. Tebet, night of the 14th, two and a half double hours [five hours] at night before morning [in the latter part of the night], the disc of the moon was eclipsed; the whole course visible; over the southern and northern part the eclipse reached.” (Inschriften von Cambyses, König von Babylon, by J. N. Strassmaier, Leipzig, 1890, No. 400, lines 45-48; Sternkunde und Sterndienst in Babel, by F. X. Kugler, Münster, 1907, Vol. I, pp. 70, 71) These two lunar eclipses can be identified with the lunar eclipses that were visible at Babylon on July 16, 523 B.C.E., and on January 10, 522 B.C.E. (Oppolzer’s Canon of Eclipses, translated by O. Gingerich, 1962, p. 335) Thus, this tablet establishes the seventh year of Cambyses II as beginning in the spring of 523 B.C.E. This is an astronomically confirmed date.

Kugler, Münster, 1907, Vol. I, pp. 70, 71) These two lunar eclipses can evidently be identified with the lunar eclipses that were visible at Babylon on July 16, 523 B.C.E., and on January 10, 522 B.C.E. (Oppolzer’s Canon of Eclipses, translated by O. Gingerich, 1962, p. 335) Thus, this tablet points to the spring of 523 B.C.E. as the beginning of the seventh year of Cambyses II. This is an astronomically confirmed date.
The original went from "can be identified" to "can evidently be identified", from "establishes" to "points to" and from an "astronomically confirmed date" to an omission.
A slight of hand to discourage the reliance on "pagan" historical records for date setting that might also be used to establish the "astronomically confirmed date" for the 37th year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign in VAT 4956?
hope this works .
was listening to this on youtube today.
check out brother bradford's comment about the picture of the governing body at about the 1:11:38 mark.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk_jnua-ua0.
When I heard Brother Bradford express an "opinion" that the Governing Body "deliberately posed" for the photo, implying that it may have been "fabricated", it seemed unusual that someone would give a somewhat less than glowing appraisal of an activity that the "Slave" was party to.

i am planning a trip to the west coast from vancouver down to southern ca and would like to be able to discuss it with some of you guys who know that part of the world.
i would like to do it in private so as not to give things away to anyone snooping so wondering on the best way of having a private group chat.
facebook maybe?.
Never driven to SoCal from Vancouver, only flown. If you are driving and you have opportunity to go through the Oregon coast on your way I highly recommend it.
does any one have any experience with writing to the branch office?
i know they're busy, but while reading through the shepherd textbook, it says to write to them quite a few times.
so if a body of elders write to the branch office, whats the usual wait time for a response?
At the urging of a Witness friend, I submitted a question to Brooklyn about their use Justus Lipsius' illustration of the crux simplex. I sent it in Late February last year. I received an interesting response.
I think it was about 10 or 11 weeks later that 2 witnesses with whom I had earlier spoken to on separate occasions (neither of which were the witness who encouraged me to write the letter) arrived at my door to ask me some questions. Neither gave any indication that the branch had given them a response to give me and neither gave any indication that they knew of the contents of my query. ( My letter was sent to ask if they could provide any documentation from Lipsius' writings to indicate his belief that the crux simplex was indeed the instrument used in Christ's death). I didn't think of it at the time I wrote it, but they may have wanted to see if I had plans to publish or post their response in some way.
I sent a message to my Witness friend, telling him about the non-answer I received and his response was; "it was nice that 2 brothers came by".
