  oh my... what a loada crap this WT is. Thaks for working through it Blondie.

  5 Zechariah foretold what action the nations would take, saying: “The city [Jerusalem] will actually be captured.” “The city” is symbolic of God’s Messianic Kingdom. It is represented on earth by its ‘citizens,’ the remnant of anointed Christians. (Phil. 3:20) During World War I, prominent members within the earthly part of Jehovah’s organization were “captured,” or arrested, and sent off to a prison in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. ‘The houses were pillaged’ in that injustices and brutality were heaped upon these and other innocent integrity keepers. The attackers plundered the wealth of influence that the remnant exercised by banning their literature and restricting their activities as Kingdom proclaimers.

  Whats this? Old Light™ being taught as Truth™? Jehovah had an earthly organisation during WWI?

  1918 has been done away with. Nothing happened of biblical significance.

  last night my husband and i watched a special on the history channel about the knights templar.

  about two weeks before i showed my husband the 607/587 blunder.

  first off, he didn't even know that 607 was relevant to jw teachings.

  hi guys, i'm new to the site.. sorry to bring up an old topic.

  but just wondering if anyone knew if the brochure referred to in the infamous un letter of 2004 is available to read anywhere?

  this is the brochure of 1991 (before the supposed "changed language that we cannot subsribe to").

  Quick and easy 607 question

  really, this should be easy if you have the cd rom (i don't).. somewhere in the societies publications, they try to denigrate the reliability of an ancient tablet by citing a source which shows big gaps in the translation (lots of [] and .

  's) evidently because this tablet was so beat up and broken, half the words are missing, thus secular historical records are worthless, trust the bible.. if i remember this correctly, the actual source of the quote goes on to say something to the effect of 'fortunately the obverse side of the tablet contains all the information in tact' - a fact the wt conveniently leaves out.. i had thought this quote was either from insight or the all scripture book, but i can't find it in either.

  anyone know what publication this is from?

  Lars I am not in a position to refute what you say, all I can say is that I do not know of any 'experts' of history or archaeology of this period that have published peer reviewed papers that agree with your conclusions. Its clear that you have put alot of thought into your research, perhaps it is time to submit that research to the 'experts' for an open critique/review so changes can be put forward to the accepted chronololgy/history of this period if your research is indeed accurate. I am sure historians would welcome accurate info of this period. after all they are not the WT. Until then......

  thank you AnnOMaly, your last paragraph is most helpfull. for lurkers: Nabopollasar was the first Neo Babylonian King - Nebuchadnezzer's dad - & Nabonidus was the LAST King (co_regency with Belshazzer) when Babylon fell in 539bce.

  ps. I will look at the scibd link when I have a bit more time.

  Well a search on WT CD 2012 shows Nothing for "Hillah Stele" or "Nabon 8". A search for "Nabon" shows 1 result, which is the Appendix 14 that Jeffro quouted from:

  *** kc p. 186 Appendix to Chapter 14 ***

  Nabonidus Harran Stele (NABON H 1, B): This contemporary stele, or pillar with an inscription, was discovered in 1956. It mentions the reigns of the Neo-Babylonian kings Nebuchadnezzar, Evil-Merodach, Neriglissar. The figures given for these three agree with those from Ptolemy’s Canon.

  NABON H 1, A would be the 'twin' of the above, and this one is damaged. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sitchin/Adda_Guppi_Harran.htm

  Google doesn't have much on the Hillah Stele either!

  Here is an interesting thread that also discusses the Adda-Guppi:

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/117917/1/thirdwitness-and-other-pseudo-scholars-Lets-discuss-the-Hillah-Stele

  Is it still the case that the WT society has never mentioned the Hillah Stele/ Nabon 8?
