A Couple of thoughts on July WT
by Phizzy ini actually got a bucket close by and read some of the study ed.
july 13 w.t my first reaction was amazement at how very muddled the whole thing was, i think if i had all those months to write articles since the noo lite was presented at the agm i could make a much better job of arguing the new ideas, and our very own sd7 could do even better !.
for instance, it is claimed in the chart, and the 2nd article i think, that the harvest began in 1914, by whom ?.

A proof that has been put forward for 1 = 0.999, as follows:
In the 4th line of the proof we see that from the RHS: 9.999...-0.999... = 9. This is not the case. While it is true that the number of 9s after the decimal point is infinite, it is neither sufficient or trivial to assume this step. For example:
Take an infinitely long integer consisting exclusively of 9s, call this number A. Take second infinitely long integer also consisting exclusively of 9s and call this number B.
A - B = 0
If and only if the number of digits in A and B are the same. Since x has been multiplied by 10, its infinite number of 9s after the decimal point is one less than in x by definition. (sorry to jump in here...but how is one set of INFINITE 9's smaller than another set of INFINITE 9's...by definition, they are the same) It is not sufficient either to say that there are an infinite number of 9s after the decimal place therefore it does not matter, irrespective of whether the repetition is finite or not, the number of digits does need to be the same, and as Mathematicians know, not all infinities are the same. (I laughed. What a joke. Go read some Cantor theorems. infinity +1 is ALWAYS equal to infinity). Therefore the 4th line should say:
- That is only true for a finite series.

Quick and easy 607 question
by breakfast of champions inreally, this should be easy if you have the cd rom (i don't).. somewhere in the societies publications, they try to denigrate the reliability of an ancient tablet by citing a source which shows big gaps in the translation (lots of [] and .
's) evidently because this tablet was so beat up and broken, half the words are missing, thus secular historical records are worthless, trust the bible.. if i remember this correctly, the actual source of the quote goes on to say something to the effect of 'fortunately the obverse side of the tablet contains all the information in tact' - a fact the wt conveniently leaves out.. i had thought this quote was either from insight or the all scripture book, but i can't find it in either.
anyone know what publication this is from?

More failed JW chronology
by Jeffro inive just been reviewing my timeline of the divided jewish monarchy and the neo-babylonian period.
i decided to check for correlations of egyptian and assyrian rulers mentioned in the bible that i had not previously considered at all (much less tried to make fit a particular year).
i was happy (though unsurprised) that no adjustments were required.. pharaoh tirhakah (taharqa) (2ki 19:8, 9; isa 37:8, 9) insight (volume 2, page 1109) claims the years assigned to him by historians must be wrong.

Challenge to you prophets - can you meet it?
by punkofnice ini challenge anyone that can accurately predict events by reading the bible or your prophetic book of choice, to give me a specific date when something will happen so i can watch for it!.
give us the date here (not a pm) and tell us what will happen.. let there be no excuses!
no get out clauses of ''it doesn't work that way'' or similar.

I predict 8 older men (well maybe 7 and one youngish man) living in luxury in Brooklyn will NOT go out on service midweek...instead they will gather around a table (with cosy luxury seats remember!) and talk giberish.
This will occur every week...

If the Governing Body are the Faithful and Discreet Slave, Could the Governing Body all die at once?
by Eustace ini'm thinking that if all the governing body members all died at once, it would disprove this whole "the governing body are the faithful and discreet slave" business once and for all.. the faithful and discreet slave, according to watchtower teaching, will continue to exist into the time of the end.
so if the governing body all die at once, that means they ain't the faithful and discreet slave.. they need more youngish gb members quick!.

Blondie...that article is great and did say that some anointed WOULD be on hand at the Big A and then they would be taken to heaven....BUT the nu-lite says that ALL of the anointed will be taken up DURING the GT and before the Big A...blowing the article you just quoted as old-(s)lite...

@jwfacts..in 1919 Jehoove rappointed them over His domestics but it is a future incident, right before the big A and during the GT that they get appointed over the belongings...but your question still stands...why? The only reason seems to be the timing mentioned in the illustration/prophecy/parable/madeupcrap

But the anointed need to be on earth during the GT so that it is cut short and the big A comes...if the anointed go to heaven during the GT then what about the scripture that says on the account of the chosen ones the big A starts?
They are just making this stuff up...

Expressing their disbelief and doubts Lars? I think they go well beyond that, they actually prove referring to examples in nature and science to back up their belief...these men use sound logic and reasoning to prove theor points...you may want to try and emulate that as did Christ did 2,000 years ago...
