  TD - there is no uncertainty regarding the reigns of the king - IF - you bother counting the years properly. And you have to read the scriptures very carefully to do that work.

  Once you get to the reigns of Cyrus, Artaxerxes, etc, they are dealt with in an entirely different manner. Their reigns are only mentioned for the purpose of the tiny bit they are used for. Nothing else is allowed to be known because they are irrelvant to the prophecies to do with the coming of Jesus Christ.

  The scriptures provide enough into to go from Adam 1 to Adam 2, providing you don't put any dates in and just go by events and ranges of time.

  You can debate the 70 years (I'm no expert so I wont go there) but the info is there if you want to work through it.

  Once you get to the centre of histroy, ie Jesus Christ, he, Jesus says he'll return at an unknown day and hour.

  And yes Watchtower do date the metal image to 606 BCE, and that dream took place in the 2nd year of Neb. Jerusalem fell in the 19th year of Neb which they say is 607 BCE. So Neb's 19th year of rulership is followed by his 2nd year of rulership. Logic of the Watchtower. Only bettered by their saying Jehoiakim ruled for 11 years and died in the 3rd year of his rulership.

  Frozen2018 - please stop being such a bigotted fascist when it comes to the order of letters. Don't you know that you are discriminating by putting letters in a certain order?

  You should stick all your letters in a lucky-dip bag then you might come up with something worth saying like LBM.

  Please, freedom, it mattres.

  I’d a mystic Calvinist biscuit

  A Garibaldi in my kitchen drawer

  But there’s a big muddy Bourbon footprint

  On my Washington Methodist floor

  I’m studying the nature of the footprint

  Because its crying out to me and its fractious

  “Please avoid strife with the biscuit thief

  And understand the raisins for his actions.”

  Are You Starting To Feel Bad About Being A Racist??

  you probably didn’t even realize you were a racist until you were enlightened by the “woke” group.

  so do you feel the need to make amends and do the right thing??

  JoenB75 - my early years were spent being referred to a 'nigger'. Just another reason why the WT could never hurt me. I learnt to deal with insults, look beyond the words and hope for a good outcome if I was kind.

  Been a few years now since I've ever been referred to as 'nigger.'

  The worst insults I get now are from fruit-the-loop elders. If they spoke to me (which they wont, even if I trundle round after them in the supermarket), I expect they'd call me an apostate.

  By domino mobile device relay system (latest form of tech, unheard of by MIT (they're on catch up)) I hear they refer to me as one with a 'disaffected mind.' This term is spat out. Obviously it miffs them a lot that i can both read and add up. Therefore, insults are directed towards me.

  They elders haven't murdered anyone yet (not that I know of) but they are white. I sat with one and he said to me he'd like to be an executioner in they system of things. I put it to him that if he was in Nazi Germany that would mean killing Jehovah's Witnesses. He appeared comfortable with the idea, either that or he had a disaffected mind. I stood up and walked away in disgust and went and told the CO what he had just said. After all this was at the pioneer school, and this guy was teaching us!

  JoenB75 - I was told the Scots brought us most of the technology. I knew several Scotsmen - one programmed DOS, the other couldn't work his central heating.

  Is common sense/intelligence skin coloured or kilt coloured? If it is kilt coloured what are the colours on the kilt that indicate intelligence? And do the colours have to be in the warp and the weft or just the weft? Or the warp?

  The one who couldn't work his central heating came from the Highlands, does altitude affect? He didn't live there very long. He moved to the other end of the country to spend his time castigating us for not being Scottish. He was ok though. Had a great way of wasting elders time by phoning them up to come round and fix his central heating. Maybe he was secretly very clever.

  How Could We Have Been So Heartless?

  i am addressing here those who, like me, spent decades in the organisation that we called “the truth”.

  perhaps like me you were brought up in it from an early age.

  looking back now i wonder that i could have been so heartless as to believe that the mass slaughter of billions of people was “good news”.

  Genuine Christians cannot be racist.

  However from experience at the hands of a corrupt media organisation, we know words such as this scripture below can be spun so that through an almost subliminal semantic shift the term 'Christ' gets replaced by GB.

  Once the authority of Jesus Christ has been hijacked by the media org/false religion, all the words in scripture can be overridden by other books, magazines, videos, articles and new light.
  

  (Colossians 3:9-11) . . .Strip off the old personality with its practices, 10 and clothe yourselves with the new [personality], which through accurate knowledge is being made new according to the image of the One who created it, 11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, foreigner, Scyth′i‧an, slave, freeman, but Christ is all things and in all.
  

  The editors/GB will claim they are spirit directed. Therefore to submit to the media organisation is to submit to god. But not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Father of Jesus Christ.

  That media organisation (it owns the platform) can by stealth (ie without upsetting the status quo too much), gradually change the scriptural values expressed by the First Born Only Begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ, into a set of procedures, which on the surface appear virtuous. But these procedures support a form of bullying which allows things like paedophilia (that is child sexual abuse), wife beating, adultery and other acts of cruelty and unfairness (inc racism) to go on.

  The police have been very helpful at supporting some sets of Christian values. Watchtower publishers who have witnessed/experienced child sexual abuse have been able to turn to the police and get support.

  With calls for police who support this and some other Christian values (such as don't steal) to be done away with, this support could be taken away and spun as a form of fighting racism.

  There a many different reasons (some good, some bad) why a person gets involved with the Watchtower. Also at a local level there were some decent elders, COs and DOs around, plus some very fine women. You could tell them by the way they acted.
  

  (Galatians 5:22-23) . . .On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, 23 mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. . .
  

  Many have now died or been thrown out or are being thrown out right now. But while they were there, some congregations had a strong Christian influence and I joined such a congregation.
  

  Watchtower doctrine is a con-trick, a man-trap for Christians and I think it exists in order to destroy a peron's faith in the True God by craftily mixing scriptures with WT's bamboozling rubbish. If you don't know the Bible well enough to untangle the garbage from the Truth expressed by Jesus Christ, it is easy to get confused. Given Watchtower does this horrible and crafty con-trick, I don't think it's the person's fault if they get conned.

  But once you understand it's a con, then you have to get out, fade or whatever you can (according to your circumstances). Ideally get out. But if you don't care that it's a con-trick and you go along with it, then you are showing contempt for your fellow man and contempt for God.

  There is a horrible experiment where people administer an electric shock to another. The psychoanalysts measure the point someone will turn the dial up to to hurt their fellow man. Some are so heartless towards the other person (who is shown as suffering) they keep turning the dial up if told to. I guess any guilt they feel for making the other person suffer is off-loaded by thinking, "I have been told to do this."

  Watchtower fulfills the role of giving the orders.

  Contrariwise, Jesus Christ advises this course of action which if sounded down into a receptive heart would prevent someone from turning up the dial in the experiment and therefore render them useless to the Watchtower.
  

  (Matthew 6:14-15) . . .“For if YOU forgive men their trespasses, YOUR heavenly Father will also forgive YOU; 15 whereas if YOU do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will YOUR Father forgive YOUR trespasses. . .
