"we should be mindful".
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
"It's a privilege", "Los privilegios" referring to cleaning the toilets or just about any chore, position or responsibility. I am not quite sure about the wording in English because I have always attended meetings in Spanish.
"The Truth" annoys the hell out of me but also brings the sardonic smile of someone who knows better.
and how would you know or not know.

Insearchoftruth,
Can you please explain. I know little about the Bible because I became an atheist in my early teens. Lately, hoever, as a result of my marriage to a JW I have discovered disturbing uses of the Bible to manipulate and control people. In few words what do you mean with your statement.
"This likely explains the duplicity of 2nd kings 19 and Isaiah 37"

The point of my request to Besty (click vs clique) is that we should not be so quick to cavil about typos in other people's comments because we may open ourselves to crticism that may reveal the more serious spelling or grammatical errors in our own comments.

Besty,
Since clarity in writing is important to you, can you explain your statement below?
"Nor am I a member of a bully click"
just wondering if your name describes what you saw, how you were treated when you were "in" or now "out", maybe your personality, ect.... i'm label licker and the why i picked this name was because of all the licking up one side of elders and down the other to either be an elder or ministerial servant.
one time i was standing right in front of this brother who wasn't made an ms yet and he totally ignored me and talked right over my head speaking really loud trying to catch the co's attention.. got sick of watching the poor elderly sitting all alone or standing against the wall like a wall flower with noone to talk to and yet all these label lickers would take turns picking up the elders elderly parents and take them shopping and do their groceries at least four times a week while out in service, yet, there was noone there to take a meal to a sister who just got out of the hospital with a heart attack.
when i had shown up at her apartment with a meal she asked if i could wash her private and change her bandages.
Never a JW. Turned atheist at 13 or 14. Remain so until now, 34 years later. Now, after learning everything I have learned about JW's, the Bible and religion in general, I am a full blown staunch atheist. Never a JW before, never will. Rutherford was right. Religion is a snare and a racket.
i'm 19, and i'm still currently a jw.
i guess i'm a born-in, or whatever you guys call it.
i've had some serious issues with the faith at the moment, and sexuality is a huge part.

I see that you are too considerate with others but not with yourself. You are only 19, do not live for the sake of others. Your parents had their chance and made their choices. There's nothing wrong with your making your choices selfishly as long as you don't purposely attempt to hurt others. If your father steps down there's one less elder working for the Watchtower. That's a good thing. Another good thing is that your father will be able to take a break and spend time with the family. It's a win win situation even if it doesn't appear so.
just had an elder drop in for a visit.
asking why i hadn't been to the meetings for over two years.
i told him there's a lot of things i don't agree with.. .
The organization is starting to acknowledge mistakes? Really?
About 100 years ago, a reader of the WT publications brought to the attention of Charles T. Russell how mistaken his chronology was. Today they still write the most intellectually dishonest articles still supporting CTR chronology.
out now.. yes, yes, yessssss!
on p. 26-27 they talk about how the lunar positions on vat 4956 fit 588/7 bce!!!.
"clearly, much of the astronomical data in vat 4956 fits the year 588 b.c.e.
Thanks Ann,
For a quick second when I was writing 607/606 and 587/586 I thought something was not right, but the thought left without my discovering the error in that comment. However, the years in the tables are all right, I think. I am no longer confident when you are around; you have quite an eye to discover any kind of mistake.
I just checked the city I chose for my calculations. It is only 40 miles south af Al Hillah.
Before Ann catches another error, I just want to note that I misspelled "descending" in the headings of table
Thanks again for the corrections.

I just realized that the tables are so long for a computer screen that it is necessary to scroll up and down to see the explanatory notes at the bottom and compare them with the raw data across the table. If anyone is interested, send me a PM and I can get you a 2 page PDF file (one page per table), or just print it from the JWN page.

I used the Sky X to calculate all positions in the tables (same program used by the researchers of the Watchtower) and all calculated positions were for an observer in An Najaf (32:32:11 N 44:25:15 E) a city located 100 miles south of Baghdad. The location chosen is close to, or maybe it is, the location were the ancient Babylonians made their observations for VAT4956
