Why did C T Russell choose 606 BC?
by shepherdless ini recently commented on a thread in relation to the 607 bc - 1914 ad calculation, listing problems with the logic and mathematics.
afterwards, i wondered what made ct russell choose 606 bc in the first place.
here is my research so far.. i had read somewhere a suggestion that 606 bc was a number ct russell got from nathan balbour who in turn got it from william miller of the millerites.

Why? Because he was a lunatic who measured pyramids for dates.
Thank you for the link Mr Fat! I will save this for later.

A brother repeated a "rumor" from the platform last night.
by NikL ini seem to remember many talks and articles in the past about repeating rumors.last night before going into the book study the conductor said something to the effect, "i heard a rumor and i don't know if it's true but the rumor is that in the future we will be using only;y videos at the door.".
anyone else heard this "rumor"?.
and whats up with repeating rumors from the platform?

Very interesting! Of course the JW cult is looking to reduce printing costs and videos are the easiest way to do it

Please forgive me if this is too intrusive but what did you get disfellowshipped for? If too private then no need to answer and I apologize!
I'm curious because I am hearing rumors that they want to make it less common to disfellowship unless the person is really evil and a threat to the congregation.

Internally rolling my eyes.. Get this
by raven ina bit of an update, last weekend was my great grandmothers funeral, now, she was never a jw, and never was going to be, no matter how hard my mother, and grandmother tried to preach to her, she was the type of person that would kindly accept a wt or a book, but she wouldn't bother reading them.. anyways, she was a great wonderful and inspiring woman, the funeral was extremely sad, she had been a school teacher for over 35 years and a member of various clubs, so there were a lot of folks besides family that attended.. well, anyways i was there and so was my jw mother, stepfather, and grandmother, we were cordial, didn't talk about anything jw related because, it was great grandmothers funeral, not really a time to discuss how i am an evil sinner, or how i've escaped the org by avoiding df'ing, right?
wrong, as i'm sitting waiting for the service to begin, a lady shows up, now- i have known this woman for a long time, apparently she baby sat me as a small child, (like i remember?
) so she isn't someone i was ever close with, but knew of her or when she was around would say hi to and make small talk.. to give you a tid-bit on her personality though, she is one of those crazy jw's.. she claims to have been possessed by a demon, very very wacky on the prophesies, or gb talks, etc.

Flip Flops to Nowhere
by Lostandfound inhow long until wt has flip flopped its way back to anything of the faith many of us knew?
who are the now dead ones giving evidence of their non captivity to babylon etc?
i would not recognise what goes on in a kh now and i was in since 60s when we had firm beliefs, now being eroded little by little.

The goal in all this 1918/1919 change?
by careful inas some have recently posted here, there does seem to be a shift going on in their self-interpretation(s) of what happened in 1918 and 1919. if we can look past all the details that emphasize the poor thinking and poor wording (or contradictions/just plain craziness/insignificance) of their message, something bigger seems to be afoot.
they appear to be attempting to redefine the meanings for some "prophetic" scriptures in light of themselves.
1. they are trying to somehow fill the void they have themselves created from their rejecting freddie franz's (ff) type–anti-type postulations.

A Beard Maverick
by EyesOpenHeartBroken inso i went to the kh for the first time in a month, and the first brother in our congregation has grown a full beard.
i am in a western u.s. semi-rural area in a cong with an extremely conservative and controlling elder body.
oddly enough, it seemed like people were going out of their way to converse with him and act like they didn't notice the beard or they complimented the beard.

Ok so it is interesting that you are talking about this today! Although I am already out of the JW cult mentally I pretend to be in when talking to family and friends so my friend told me about another brother in the hall who has been wearing a beard for 2 weeks. Suddenly another brother started to wear one also. The elders noticed this trend, contacted the branch for advice. I do not have any more info but my guess is they will try to quash this out ASAP! They must not let this spread! Oh no! The terrible evil beards!

Crazy First Human-Pig Hybrid Created in the Lab—Here Are the Facts
by kpop ini do not post ot topics on here but i think this could relate to the jw cult because i remember a brother gave a talk long time ago and he said that jehovah would never allow man or science to play with crossing genes and if humans start to do this then we need to find a new religion.
well.... here it is.. now i also want to say, if jehovah cared so much about all this human suffering then why does science seem to be the one who actually cares about fixing thing?
jehovah does nothing.

I do not post OT topics on here but I think this could relate to the JW cult because I remember a brother gave a talk long time ago and he said that Jehovah would never allow man or science to play with crossing genes and if humans start to do this then we need to find a new religion. Well.... here it is.
Now I also want to say, if Jehovah cared so much about all this human suffering then why does science seem to be the one who actually cares about fixing thing?
Jehovah does nothing. Science is working to give sight to the blind, make the lame walk again, make the mute talk again, make the deaf hear again! NOT Jehovah!
Anyways here read for yourself ;)

In a remarkable—if likely controversial—feat, scientists announced today that they have created the first successful human-animal hybrids. The project proves that human cells can be introduced into a non-human organism, survive, and even grow inside a host animal, in this case, pigs
