What JWS have done is select only historical information that suits their 70 year prophesy and totally dismiss everything else from archeological evidence and even the bible, its really an act of intellectual dishonesty.
When one avoids an honest, deliberate and comprehensive approach to a matter because it may introduce an adverse effect on personally and professionally held views and beliefs.
Intellectual dishonesty is a failure to apply standards of rational evaluation that one is aware of, usually in a self-serving fashion. If one judges others more critically than oneself, that is intellectually dishonest. If one deflects criticism of a friend or ally simply because they are a friend or ally, that is intellectually dishonest.
I dont think JWS even know what that means, this scholar idiot obviously doesn't
True bible scholars know that, I'm sure.
This idiot who comes here calling himself scholar is nothing more than a JWS./Watchtower scholar promoting this organization religious doctrines.
He probably is counting his time here as well, no doubt.
I posted some things which occurred in that region in that era which makes the suggested JWS time table of events ridiculous......
