VAT4956 - 530 BC destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar

by jwposter in

in my studies, i have concluded that year 530 bc was when the destruction of jerusalem occurred and the temple destroyed.

i had determined this prior to investigation of vat4956.

i had already found that the jubilees, sabbaticals, courses of the priests, and chronology attested to this.

" Notice how jwposter, all through this thread, simply ignores each problem that is pointed out about his incorrect alternative history, and either focuses on what he thinks is his strongest point, or just moves on to the next incorrect assertion. "

This is a favourite technique of Politicians, used all the time, never answer an accusation that you know you are guilty of. Only the best of Interviewers drag the Politician back to the try to make them answer, they will then continue not to, and then claim they have answered it.

I wonder if there is an element of the Dissembler about our friend "jwposter", what is his motive ? or, am I being my usual self, and suspicious where I shouldn't be ? or even, does he really believe his nonsense ?

Thank you once again for your tireless work Jeffro, which is of immense value to those who are Lovers of Truth.

Thanks Grandpa, very informative !

So, finally they get a bit sensible on "Dress", and won't look so obviously Cult-like either out in the " Ministry" < that label is joke ! or inside the K.H.

And a very slight relaxation on shunning, and more care on dealing with "wrongdoing" by the under 18's. None of this goes far enough IMHO to make them acceptable as to adhering to Human Rights, but I guess they think they will now be able to persuade a Court that this , just a fraction milder, set of Policies, do not mean they should, as an org. lose $$$. They will argue these are decisions made by individual Congregations in each case, and not mandated by the Org. "We only offer guidance in these matters".

With the matter of Dress I see clearly the hand of a "Worldly" P.R Company behind this move !

Forget 1914, the 1975 generation are now passing away!

by nowwhat? in

we still have quite a few elderly here that came in as young families in the late 1960's-early 70's because soon, yes very soon they would enter the new system and never grow old.

it's now one year away from 50 years since 1975. just in the last couple years i've seen them come down with alzheimer's, cancer, brain tumors, becoming invalid etc.

the children of them that are now around 60 are just so distraught at seeing their parents deteriorate.

Phizzy

Nobody escapes death eventually, most of us don't escape Taxes either, the G.B and their business do !

The 1975 generation is now on borrowed time, lets hope the G.B are too !

Not just for death, but Taxes too !

" I can't remember ANY Watchtower prophecy that has come true...can you? "

There isn't ONE ! they have printed a few predictions they have culled from "worldly" sources, but their own have ALL failed !

I am of that generation spoken of in the Thread title, or the generation before perhaps, being born in the 1950's. Many of the J.W's I knew around my age are no longer with us.

They Came To The Door!

by NotFormer in

going door to door with their "memorial" invitation.

"so you can pass the emblems but nobody partakes?

them: "we can explain who is to partake".. me: "all jesus' followers".

Phizzy

" when the group work together as the Governing Body, they act as 'the faithful and discreet slave'. "

I suppose that is so that they can say anything they like as individual members of the G.B, however wacky, and if it comes back to bite them on the bum, the body of the G.B can distance themselves from it.

But 8 Mill. J.W's will say " The Governing Body said ......."

More subtle, but deniable, Control.

At least we won't have these deluded people coming to our door anymore, D to D is a thing of the Past, except for a Memorial Invitation or similar .... perhaps.

Article: Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses in Brazil Fight Against Social Ostracism and Seek Dialogue

by AndersonsInfo in

https://bnnbreaking.com/world/brazil/ex-jehovahs-witnesses-in-brazil-fight-against-social-ostracism-and-seek-dialogue.

discover the stories of jefferson alexandrino de lima and fabiano de amo, who challenge the practice of shunning in religious communities.

their experiences shed light on the need for dialogue, respect, and inclusivity.. in 2008, jefferson alexandrino de lima's life took a significant turn after joining the jehovah's witnesses in pernambuco, brazil.

Phizzy

Thanks for Posting this ! It is heartening that around the world people are being made aware of the disgusting Shunning practice carried out by J.W's.

There is now considerable pressure on the very slow moving G.B to DO something abut this, as the Norway case showed, and we have been saying for decades, Shunning violates basic Human Rights.

the toll of being PIMO

by enoughisenough in

for those of you who are pimo, how do you feel it may be effecting your mental and physical health?

is it easy to pretend to be what you are not?

how do you feel about falsely supporting the pimi which builds them up and therefore an org you don't believe in?

Phizzy

" a Cult" in the sense that it uses every Mind Control Technique there is, and that is stronger than Reason and Truth.

In my early days of being fully awake, I could simply not understand how that "House of Cards" could not fall soon, I expected it for a while, as each ridiculous move and the blatant lies mounted, it didn't happen, because of Mind Control.

Mind Control is all that keeps that House of Cards standing, it is a Super Glue.

PIMOS have to face the fact that it will not fall anytime soon, the only glimmer of hope is that Super Glue loses all its strength when Heat is applied to it.

The Heat of Truth can do the job, if you can direct it upon the House of Cards of your loved one's delusional faith.

BB, you are not alone in having those feelings, I had the same feeling of being a bit of a hypocrite for merely attending for a few months after I fully woke up.

Back then there were a significant number of Elders in my Circuit who had resigned, and just "lived in the shadows", all PIMO to some degree I would think, that was two decades ago, there must be MANY more like you today !

More quiet resignations to come, I hope !

But I feel sorry for people like your good self, it must be agony to be a PIMO in many ways. But we do it for our loved ones still in.

Of course, with admirable patience and fortitude Jeffro, you are answering JW Poster as though we can put any weight on the Gospel Stories , or the supposed dates for "Jesus' " birth and life based upon them.

The Gospel Stories are mere Myth and Fable, so of course are no authority or basis for any calculations.

The Jesus of the Gospels is totally fictitious, as is over 90% of what we find in the Bible.

NORWAY Verdict : The Aftermath

by raymond frantz in

https://www.jwupdates.com/post/watchtower-will-take-norwegian-defeat-to-echr.

few norwegian religious communities need to worry after the jehovah's witnesses verdict, according to legal expert vibeke blaker strand.

he has pointed out that it is particularly serious to deprive a religious community of its registration.

Phizzy

I hope the Org. DOES go to the ECHR with an Appeal, and loses !

What a TRIUMPH that would be for the human Rights they have trampled over for all these years !
