i am new to this.. i have a problem.

someone on my ministry asked me about the date that we hold so dear....607 bce and asked me to prove it to them.

this would not be a problem i thought as the f&ds would have solid basis for using such a date.

Who really is the FDS?!?!?!?!?

hey all, hope you're having a great year so far.. before witnet was closed down, there was an interesting discussion regarding the fds and their failed prophecies.

i asked a question, but unfortunately there wasn't enought time to get everyone's view.. so i'll rephrase my posts, and wait to hear from y'all.. if we are so quick to say that the fds is a false prophet because of some failed prophecies (even tho they say they don't prophecy, we all know better) then how would you explain the bible book of jonah?.

a faithful prophet, jonah, followed (after much trial and tribulation to himself) jehovah's command to declare destruction on the city of nineveh.
