  I'm writing a letter to my country's branch

  hi everyone.. well, i have some good news.

  after having a terrible moment arguing with my mom about the 1914 teaching and all it evolves (she get really upset and i felt great regret for starting the argument) she came to me next day and started talking with a much more open mind, and she talked about a lot of concerns too.. she and my father naivily expressed the wish to write to bethel to ask about 607bc.

  i told in all the possible ways it wouldn't work.

  Use the Insight book. By adding up the how long each king was reigning, WT actually contradict their own 607BCE date:

  "List of Kings" it-1 p. 425	Watchtower Quote	Year
  Babylon fell 539 B.C.E, End of Belshazzar’s Rule	"The End of Belshazzar’s Rule. On the night of October 5, 539 B.C.E." it-1 pp. 284 Belshazzar	539 B.C.E
  	"October 5, 539 B.C.E. (Gregorian calendar), when Babylon fell before the invading Medo-Persian armies under the command of Cyrus the Great." - it-1 236 Babylon, History
  Plus Nabonidus	"On the basis of cuneiform texts he is believed to have ruled some seventeen years(556-539 B.C.E.)." it-2 p. 457 Nabonidus	+17 years
  Plus Labashi-Marduk	"Labashi-Marduk, a vicious boy, succeeded him, and was assassinated within nine months." w65 1/1 p. 29	+1 year
  Plus Neriglissar	"For Neriglissar... contract tablets are known dated to his fourth year." it-1 pp. 453 Chronology	+4 years
  Plus Evil-Merodach	"Evil-merodach reigned two years" w65 1/1 p. 29	+2 years
  Plus Nebuchadnezzar	"Nebuchadnezzar ruled as king for 43 years" it-2 pp.482 Nebuchadnezzar	+43 years
  Equals Start of Nebuchadnezzar's reign	Calculated by adding above figures	606 B.C.E.
  Minus Nebuchadnezzar's 19th year	2 Kings 25:8-9 "And in the ... nineteenth year of King Neb·u·chad·nez´zar ... the servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. And he proceeded to burn the house of Jehovah"	-19 years
  Date for Destruction of Jerusalem=	539 B.C.E +17 +1 +4 +2 +43 -19 =	587 B.C.E.

  Jws banned from further suing doctors

  https://articles.pennlive.com/news/2017/07/court_nixes_lawsuit_by_family.amp.

  if a jw gets drunk on an occasion, he could get a pass if it was in private, if however in public there's a much greater chance of disfellowshipping as the sin has now "maligned the reputation of the congregation".

  i got this through michael sherlock's fb page, he likes to expose religious nuts,.

  JWs sue because they have suffered loss and need to hold someone as culpable.

  The fingers should naturally point to themselves or the organisation but their minds don't permit this logic.

  It's heinous to constrain a surgeon against their best experience, training and advice, then try to punish them for the consequences, yet JWs have no other option unless they face the reality that the organisations policies are the reason their loved one died.

  ET phones home

  a nearby star, ross 128, about 11 light years away, seems to be putting out some rather remarkable radio waves.

  discovered by the arecibo observatory in puerto rico (the one shown in the move contact) other observatories like the allen telescope array are set to begin observations in the next couple of days to make sure the signal really is coming from interstellar space and isn't caused by instrument malfunction or radio waves bouncing off satellites.

  it could be anything at this point (but very-very unlikely aliens).

  JW_Rogue I for one am determined not believe any evidence

  Good for you. The best thing you can do with evidence which disagrees with our unprovable beliefs is reject it without a second thought.

  Who needs facts anyway? The stupid things just get in the way of religious belief. I tell you, if the Bible said there was no such thing as our sun then I'd believe it.

  That crafty satan will do anything to make us question things. Can you imagine, questioning our beliefs. How ridiculous. My father gave me these beliefs so I know they're right. He knew they were right too because a stranger told him so.

  Scientists? Just let them wait until Armageddon proves every last word of theirs wrong. We would be so much better off if we could get rid of all the sciences.

  Russian Ban upheld - JWs lose appeal

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the supreme court of russia has rejected the jehovah's witnesses' appeal.. https://jw-russia.org/news/17071719-195.html.

  july 17, 2017 the supreme court of russia has missed the last chance to restore law and justice for the 175,000 russian citizens professing the religion of jehovah's witnesses.

  it took less than an hour of the meeting a panel of three supreme court judges, to leave unchanged the decision taken earlier by the judge yuri ivanenko, the liquidation and ban any and all registered organizations of the religion.since there is no more effective domestic remedies, the believers will appeal to the european court of human rights and other international organizations.. *note: as reported by the jworg source, jw-russia.org.

  Fisherman Coincidence: 7 earthquakes 7.4 in Russia today.

  You have nicely adopted the crafty WT way of suggesting things without having the courage to own what you say.

  This is just like Fred Franz and his 1975 convention speech "We know what to expect.... but we're not saying" rubbish, or the KM "Could this be the last memorial? We don't know" nonsense.

  If you had any faith that what you imply is true then you would say "Jehovah has now caused earthquakes in Russia as retribution", but you know that's just absurd and ridiculous. Instead you try a Satanic "Is it really so..."

  Your post is pointless and gutless. Your stupid insinuations don't work on people who can think for themselves.

  Oct 2017 W/T on love.

  the october 2017 wt study article (simplified).

  let us consider some examples of fake love.

  when satan talked to eve in the garden of eden, what he said made it seem that he wanted the best for her.

  It doesn't matter what the WT write, their corruption has been laid bare.

  More and more want nothing to do with their ridiculous lies.

  Publishers are seeing their fabricated nonsense for what it is.

  Even elders are now at a loss to explain some of these "clutching at straws" doctrines.

  The WT is done. Watch this space.

  The WT and the GB are dumb. I mean sub-normal intelligence dumb.

  Anything that happens is as a consequence of GB dogma, but it's not planned or anticipated.

  There's no intention to go full evangelical but the GB stumble to problem to problem.

  When I gave a talk, whether at a kingdom hall or an assembly, it was notes based but passion delivered.

  I could throw away my preparations and deliver from the heart - passionate, convincing and inspirational.

  It seems Fat Tony and his GB crew are now tied to autocue.

  after learning the alphabet no other education required.

  history would be distorted, science rejected.

  i'm surprised that gb didn't realise there is big money in education, big tony could be the professor of bullshit..

  The Aleph Bet (hebrew) or Alpha Beta (Greek) are the building blocks of biblical comprehension.

  Respect to everyone who has the determination to dig a little deeper and understand a little more.

  Russell's Pyramidology Originated In Edinburgh Scotland

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the edinburgh city observatory sits atop calton hill at the east end of the city centre adjacent to burn's monument, scotland's national monument modelled on the parthenon, and nelson's monument with the time ball that falls at 1pm every day except sundays.. .

  the second astronomer royal of edinburgh was charles piazzi smyth (jan. 1819 - feb. 1900).

  smyth was a man of many and varied interests including meteorology, producing weather observations that still form an important part of uk climate records to this day.. building on the work of james taylor, smyth became fascinated by the great pyramid of egypt at giza.

  Unless you have been sent to college by the WT Bethel, in which case you are extra spiritual.
