Where did Russell steal 606/7 BCE from ?

by Phizzy in

this is something i have wondered about, and our great poster stillin posed the question on another thread .

russell get the idea that jerusalem was destroyed in 606/7 bce?

(he adjusted 606 to 607 when it was pointed out there was no year "0").. as in the main a plagiarist, rather than an original thinker, i guess he got it from someone else ?.

The Reason Why JWs Won't Leave The Cult Is Because They Won't Think!

by minimus in

jw
friends

they simply refuse to think, to reason, to ponder.

they are lazy!.

even if they might feel that something isn't right, they won't research an issue or a question.

I agree that there is a huge chunk of JWs who are incapable of any meaningful cognition.

However, I think it is more often the case that the average witness is not being completely honest with themselves.

They refuse to be honest with themselves because it would just be too damn painful.

Wow more heavy artillery propaganda from the 11/14 WT!!!!!

by BU2B in

every paragraph and every article in this issue is nonstop heavy artillery fire propaganda.

i have never seen a wt so full of logical fallacies, appeals to emotion, appeals to authority, guilt tripping and bite techniques all in one issue!

paragraph 9 states clearly that even though the gb is imperfect, that does not matter, we must obey them anyways.

So what this paragraph is really saying is: "All you folks out there who aren't buying this new generation shit, JUST OBEY ANYWAY. The GB do it, so should you."

My question is, if the GB don't question faulty reasoning, why does it ever change?

Some good books to read?

by thedepressedsoul in

i just finished crysis of a conscience and all i have to say is wow!

showed how they sadly look for doctrine changes to fit their agenda vs what the bible says.

any new light or changes i'll be wondering the real motive behind them.

Right now I'm reading High as the Horses' Bridles by Scott Cheshire, who was raised as a JW. An amazing description of the Stanley Theater (he calls it something else - this is fiction) in the first few pages. A great writer, enjoying the book so far. . . .

You should meet Brother Smart Engineer

by garyneal in

my wife, who now thinks i am not competent enough to discuss spiritual matters with the kids, thinks that i could really benefit from discussing matters of the bible with this nasa engineer who attends meetings at her kingdom hall.

apparently, he is quite knowledgeable in the bible and has a good grasp of their doctrines.

at least according to her as i never actually spoken with the man at length but i do know that he is an elder.

My father was an engineer for the Department of Defence. . . . a smart guy. That being said, he was/is absolutely CLUELESS with regards to religion, and although he opposed my upbringing as a JW by my mother, he never really posed a good argument against it. He just got angry.

Speaking to him now, he realizes this wasn't ever his strong point. Sure he's great with mathematics and problem solving in the physical world. . . but not so great at critical thinking skills/reasoning through bullshit. I think a lot of engineers are the same way. I call it "engineer brain" . . . . really damn smart with regards to problem solving in the physical world. . . . but that's it.
