  Analysis of anti-607 BCE Rebuttals

  by Ethos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i agreed yesterday to engage in the '607' topic.

  i've read numerous threads and am well aware that this topic has been addressed and dissected quite thoroughly.

  therefore, if you are uninterested in participating, that's fine.

  EVEN if it was 1914, that year does not work as the GB has to keep redefining the word "generation" to be able to tie the day we're living in back to 1914.

  That's the real crux of all of this number crunching isn't it? HOW LONG till the big A? The big A has not come yet, so Jehovah must have sent us bad info again on the word "generation", but maybe overlapping generations will work. MY GOD! , if this don't work, we'll think of something else.

  I'm not saying that 1914 is correct, but even if it were, he's giving up 20 years that they need so bad. Just think of how much the WTBTS would love to have had till 2030 to talk about "overlapping generations" They would have loved it. But since no world war started in 1934 and they were already tied to 1914 that you could not drop that later to be discovered Hot Potato.

  If you guys cannot come to an agreement on the 607/587 time table, let's move on to the word generation and how we know that Jesus had a parrallel meaning and why he did not just say "generationS"

  Just one thought:

  College biology textbooks would be changed when MORE ACCURATE information is found and tested to be correct.

  Jw books (doctrine) are changed once the STUDENTS discover that the current information is NOT ACCURATE although they do not have anything more accurate to replace it with, but it must be replaced none the less.

  Question?

  by Ethos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  first of all i'd like to apologize on behalf of my "college dropout" thread.

  i intimated it as a humorous and somewhat true form of sattire.

  i didn't think people here would take it so seriously and literally.

  I was thinking that the info that he was trying to get IE " What actually wakes up more Jws than anything else?" was just the info that the WTBTS would like to know.

  What are we losing all these members to? What are they thinking and how can we do more damage control?

  well it's been about 8 months since my final wake up.

  as some may remember for my intro thread, i panicked and was way too aggressive at first with telling my wife all about this scam we're a part of.

  she freaked, thinking satan had me for sure.

  I thought about this, and while WE see this as a bad deal, they do not as there ARE more Jws, forgetting about the loss of life as this is not important to them at all.

  They think "It is better to have lived and died, than to never have lived at all"

  I thought that they were restricted from selling any of the property in NY due to the Candice Conti Case

  Was this hold released ?

  TO theoldhipie,.

  Regarding the age of some of the old quotes that you seem to consider invalid due to the age.

  There are tortoises that have lived longer* than the age of some of those quotes you want to dispel.

  Besides, I want to bring to your attention that "Evidently then, Jesus meant that these quotes are "overlapping" and we can now use them."

  NJY

  * Tortoises generally have lifespans comparable with those of human beings, and some individuals are known to have lived longer than 150 years. [5] Because of this, they symbolize longevity in some cultures, such as China. The oldest tortoise ever recorded, and one of the oldest individual animals ever recorded, was Tu'i Malila, which was presented to the Tongan royal family by the British explorer Captain Cook shortly after its birth in 1777. Tui Malila remained in the care of the Tongan royal family until its death by natural causes on May 19, 1965. This means, upon its death, Tui Malila was 188 years old. [6] The record for the longest-lived vertebrate is exceeded only by one other, a koi namedHanako whose death on July 17, 1977 ended a 226-year life span. [7] [dead link]

  Did you feel guilty for not pioneering?

  by brokethechain in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i started pioneering the month i finished high school, and never stopped until i awakened, 17 years later.

  it seems like the entire time, there was so much emphasis on pioneering.

  every field service meeting seemed to have a part that communicated the message that jehovah would zap us at the big a. or people would die because of us if we didn't have extenuating circumstances (i always translated as bad health or kids, but even then, there were always "examples" of the mom with 5 kids that was pioneering).

  I auxed 2 times, first time it was the last day of the month and night time and I still needed 1.5 hours to get in. I was watching tv and saw one of those religious shows where there is a bank of people to accept your call for prayer. I called in and spent the next 1.5 hours witnessing to the person on the phone.

  They did not even have a bible with them thought that was ironic.

  The next time I only got 1.5 hours that month. I was short 58.5 hours and that was the last time I signed up.
