If someone predicted the date of the end of the world, wait until the date given, and then decide whether it is conclusively legitimate. If nothing materializes (or dematerializes) it is inconclusively illegitimate. Not a difficult concept to grasp. But I think we are digressing from the thread, but you seem to like that. Back to the business at hand. Of all the books I've read, and documentaries I've watched, dealing with the subject, this is the best explanation yet. I also believe it was quite brilliantly done. This remains my personal view, whether you like it or not.

I allow for the benefit of the doubt until their work is disproved. Did I, or anybody for that matter, use the word "conclusive?" I think you are first and only poster to use the word in this thread. Time will tell whether it is "conclusive" or not. Read the article through for their modus operandi. And yes, there will certainly be challengers. I am sure they are keeping this in mind and will be able to furnish the necessary answers in due course.

To answer those questions you'll have to wait. There's bound to be a book.

Cornwall concentrated on circumstantial evidence, e.g. the wounds of the victims and taunting letters sent to the Police. They attempted DNA testing on the stamps, but it was inconclusive.

Thanks for the heads-up and the link. After I read Patricia Cornwall's book on the subject, I put my money on Sickert, the artist, who had a good knowledge of Anatomy. But she could never back up her claims by solid evidence, e.g. DNA. I agree, this seems legit. He was one of the police's main suspects and the murders did stop after he was put away in the asylum. Congratulations to Edwards for his dedication and tenacity!

The King of the North is getting Angry...

by rhodesboy in

this topic is of a theological nature.

if you have some scriptural insight, please share.

grievances are not welcome!.

Here’s one for you, Rhodesboy, in line with what you said:

Russia is to alter its military doctrine as a result of the Ukraine crisis and Nato's presence in eastern Europe, a top Russian official says.

Mikhail Popov, a Kremlin adviser, said that deteriorating relations with the US and Nato would be reflected in the updated military strategy.

Nato said on Monday it would boost its presence in eastern Europe to protect its members.

Ukrainian troops are battling pro-Russian rebels in east Ukraine .

Ukraine 's defence minister on Monday accused Russia of launching a "great war" that could claim tens of thousands of lives - claims dismissed by Russia , which denies actively supporting the rebels.

'Aggravating tensions'

Mr Popov, deputy secretary of Russia 's National Security Council, told Russia 's RIA news agency that "the military infrastructure of Nato member states" was "getting closer to [Russian] borders, including via enlargement".

Nato's actions were one of the key "external threats" to Russia , he said.

"Nato's planned action... is evidence of the desire of US and Nato leaders to continue their policy of aggravating tensions with Russia ", Mr Popov said.

There were no details on how the doctrine might change.

Nato announced its plans on Monday for a rapid response force of several thousand troops to protect eastern European members against possible Russian aggression.

The force, to be made up of troops provided by member states on a rotating basis, would be able to be deployed within 48 hours, Nato secretary general Anders Fogh Rasmussen said.

Military equipment and supplies would be pre-positioned in member states in the east so the force could "travel light, but strike hard if needed", he added.

Mr Rasmussen insisted that the plans would not breach the 1997 Nato-Russia Founding Act , which forbids the presence of permanent bases in eastern and central Europe .

The new measures are set to be approved at a Nato summit in Wales this week.

'Runway destroyed'

The Nato security alliance covers 28 member states, including eastern European countries such as Poland and the Czech Republic . It does not include Ukraine .

Ukraine 's Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk has said that he aims to put the country on the path towards Nato membership.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday said such efforts were "undermining" attempts to reach a peace deal with the rebels.

Crisis talks between Ukraine officials, rebels and Russian envoys ended without agreement on Monday.

Ukraine 's army has been forced to retreat amid a series of gains by pro-Russian rebels in both the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, and further south around the port of Mariupol .

On Monday, Ukraine 's army said it had been forced to withdraw from Luhansk airport after it was attacked by Russian tanks.

The acting Luhansk region administration chief Irina Verihina told Ukraine 's 112 TV: "Our troops have withdrawn, but the runway is completely destroyed.

There's no way planes can land there."

The UN's refugee agency estimates that at least 260,000 people have been displaced inside the country, with most of those affected from eastern Ukraine .

'I can take Kiev '

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has accused Russia of "direct, overt aggression against Ukraine ".

Russia has repeatedly denied Ukrainian and Western accusations that it is providing troops and equipment to the rebels.

Meanwhile, a Russian official responded to allegations that Russian President Vladimir Putin had commented: "If I want to, I can take Kiev in two weeks".

The reported comments were said to be made in a phone call to European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, and were reported in Italy 's La Repubblica newspaper.

Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov said that whether or not the words were spoken, the quote "was taken out of context and had a totally different meaning", Russia 's Itar-Tass news agency reported.

In response to the Ukraine crisis, Nato is to establish a new rapidly deployable "spearhead" force capable of being deployed within a matter of only two days.

This is all part of a much wider overhaul of Nato's response forces which Nato officials say is not solely linked to Ukraine; it will be capable of deploying anywhere within the alliance to give immediate reassurance and a demonstration of alliance resolve.

For such a force to be effective there will have to be regular exercises and Nato officials note that headquarters and other so-called "enablers" - key logistics elements for example - will need to be based closer to areas of potential threat - for that read closer to Nato's eastern and southern borders. Fuel stocks and ammunition may also need to be pre-positioned further east.

WT 11/15/2014 - Who are the two witnesses mentioned in Revelation chapter 11?

by leaving_quietly in

math has never been a strong suit of wtbts.. see the question from readers on page 30:.

"how long did this inspection and cleansing.

work take?

This is one of the reasons I was disfellowshipped. When the elders and circuit overseer came to see me, I insisted that the Society's interpretation is wrong. 1) The beast about to ascend out of the abyss did not exist 1914-1918. The ineffectual League of Nations was only created in 1919. See Revelation book. 2) The trumpet blasts indicate sequence. The two witnesses are killed during the sixth trumpet blast, close to the end (the seventh). 3) Notice the name of the beast. According to their interpretation the beast is the League of Nations/United Nations. In Rev. 17 the beast is "about to ascend out of the abyss," indicating the League of Nations according to their theology. In Rev. 11 he kills the two witnesses after he ascended out of the abyss, pointing to the UN according to their theology. The UN did not exist 1914-1918. 3) During Word War I the witnessing work continued (see Proclaimers book). Well, the Society is never wrong, even when they are wrong.
