  Nebuchadnezzar's 37th year matches the year 588 or 568 BC?

  anybody know something about vat 4956?.

  nebuchadnezzar's 37th year matches the year 588 bc?

  any independant astronomer can test it and it only matches 568 bc.. .

  "Because of the superior reliability of the lunar positions, researchers have carefully analyzed these 13 sets of lunar positions on VAT 4956. They analyzed the data with the aid of a computer program capable of showing the location of celestial bodies on a certain date in the past.19 What did their analysis reveal? While not all of these sets of lunar positions match the year 568/567 B.C.E., all 13 sets match calculated positions for 20 years earlier, for the year 588/587 B.C.E."

  This is deceptive and misleading.

  There are dozens of positions of planets in relation to constellations cited on the tablets. These are incredibly accurate and astronomers have used those positions and pinpointed 586/7 as Jerusalem's fall.

  The position of a planet in relation to a constellation is like an astronomical fingerprint, and conjunctions of multiple planets in relation to a constellation are so unique, they may have not occurred at any other time in all of human history in that particular configuration.

  Lunar eclipses are not rare and are far more easily open to interpretation and confusion.

  Saying lunar eclipses are superior proof is more WT fudging to hang onto their beloved 607, without which, there is no beloved 1914.

  Further thoughts on the thread dealing with wandering Jews pooping outside the camp

  by Doug Mason in

  i think the excellent thread on the wandering jews having to defecate outside the camp could have explored further implications, such as animal faeces, and also the fact that when women are in a group they cycle (menstruate) together.

  imagine what the place was like with their attitude towards a menstruating woman, or with the disposal of the "rags".how did they dispose of all the placentas, etc.

  ?where are the skeletons of the millions of people and animals?

  According to Wikipedia, the first city to attain a population of 1 million was Rome in about 130 bc.

  But we are supposed to believe there was a 'wandering city' of 3 million more than a thousand years before then?

  Are There Any Interesting Videos or Comments Coming From Bethel?

  every once in a while someone will post a video or a talk that was heard that shows how weird the watchtower society really is.

  governing body vids are usually interesting or animated cartoons showing how strange the cult is entertaining.

  I still have some jws as friends on instagram and I noticed none of them are posting much, if anything.

  Have there been any announcements about using social media?

  Governing Body; Villians or just Deluded?

  are you sometimes dumbfounded at the direction the governing body takes?.

  thousands of documents proving 607 bce is wrong, yet the gb sticks to the date, why?.

  the generation that would not die, yet they continue by introducing an overlapping generation.. disfellowshipping at a time when everyone is leaving, not a good idea, yet they continue to disfellowship.. here is a video that addresses these questions.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbgeqhp9o9i.

  Being deluded about beliefs is one thing but if you watch the way Stephen Lett handled the JW org video explaining the 'forgiveness of kh loans' a few years ago, I don't see delusion.

  He was calculated and completely dishonest, which is a quality you need to have if you are trying to be loyal to a fake belief system.

  Loveuni, I'm not sure why you insist I answer your question. I think what is happening in isreal, the gaza strip, West bank is a disgrace. It makes the world we live in a more dangerous place and is a root source of discontent for muslims.

  Of course Israel has a right to defend themselves, like any other country has. Once again, ascribing the moral high ground to either side is a tough job.

  Min, of course its not ok.

  But this is not as simple as saying Israel is right and Palestinians are wrong.

  Love uni, another question could be, why are Palestinians firing rockets?

  Mouse, Israelis are forcibly evicting Palestinians from suburbs in Jerusalem, the U. N. is saying that this could be construed as a possible war crime.

  Jewish people view Palestinians as illegal squatters on their land.

  It's a complex situation and it's not as easy as proclaiming that one side, or the other has the moral high ground.

  In large part, it is religious zeal that is fuelling Israels claim to the land. They believe they are chosen by God and the land is their birthright.

  Israels displacement of the Palestinians has been condemned by Amnesty, the U.N. and the U.S government to name a few.
