I'm more interested to know if the concept of Bible chronology has been defined in a way that all Christian denominations agree upon, or if they have reached agreement on parameters for its use. If it is used differently by anyone who relies on it, then it's unreliable by definition. Is there a set of guidelines that all organizations use? Does any organization publish any sort of guidelines?

Is Bible chronology true?
by Fisherman inaccording to jw interpretation of bible chronology, the earliest human, adam, came into existence some 6,048 years ago compared to scientific dating of human fossils believed to be much older.
since jesus validated the creation of adam and eve as historical people and jc’s own lineage is traced all the way back to adam, bible chronology is certified as true and there must be something wrong with scientific dating.
what proves scientific dating as accurate that humans are much older than what bible chronology says?.

Smiddy, the idea is based on verses that can be interpreted either way, but there are no definitive statements in the Bible that state that the Earth is flat. For example, it is described as a circle at least once, but it is also described as having corners. It is described as having foundations and not moving, but also as being hung upon nothing.
Certainly, you can get the impression that it was thought of as a flat plain with a clear dome stretched over it and serving as the sky, where the sun, moon, and stars were displayed. But I don't think there is any one verse (or group of verses) that settles the matter one way or another.

I have to admit, I like the use of the word. Expanding our vocabularies isn't the worst thing in the world (though it does make you wonder why English has such an excess of words for the same ideas). I grew up in a pretty bad area and most of my early years were spent indoors with nothing but books to stave off the monotony.
And really, the words don't have to be strange or complicated. Think of the many ways you might describe Lloyd? Here are a whole boatload: https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/jerk
PS: the word of the day today is "Stinkard".

But ... CSA, and using the services of a sex worker, are NOT the same thing. Conflating the two would suggest that any person involved in the sex industry is promoting CSA.
To any of Lloyd's supporters seeking to use this excuse: you misunderstand. That is like saying that someone who has a history of shoplifting is not the same as a person who hijacks trucks to steal cargo. While we may agree that there is a difference in severity or scale, it also means that the former person should not be reporting on "the problem of theft in society." Once their own past becomes known, it gets in the way of any serious advocacy.
Even if he has not engaged in sexual activity with minors, his regular use of a trade that does traffic in minors damages any attempt at combating CSA, because he will become the issue as his past gets more and more attention. He knows this, hence the many times that he has insisted that any sex workers he 'dated' were 20 or older. This, in itself, is an issue- that 20-year-old may have been forced onto the streets at a much younger age, which is the sort of thing that someone like him should be fighting against, instead of supporting with his dollars.
And by 'his dollars' I am referring to the money donated by his patrons, with the expectation that it would support his 'activism work' and not his dalliances with sex workers.

Toblerone5: Why didn't he just block her ?
I don't think he can help himself. Even when he blocks people, he will read their tweets. Sometimes he will unblock them so he can make a reply, and then block them again after. His need to have the last word is a compunction that he finds as difficult to master as his penis.

The "people unprepared to deal with the issue and unwilling to seek help" was a reference to elders, not prosecutors.
Regarding "for this case," note that the line you highlighted says "men like this." In other words, not this specific case, but situations similar to it.
And none of this explains why you stated that, according to me "everybody is guilty simply because they are accused." Your explanation above does not provide anything remotely like a basis for such a blanket mischaracterization.

He says he has page after page explaining the defamation from each of the people he is suing. All he needs to do is release that.

Fisherman: Believe what you like but you are defeated both legally and logically without evidence to substantiate.
This doesn't even make sense. I never made a legal argument. And logically, my reasoning is sound. I guess I won't get an explanation for your mischaracterization of my comment, either.
