  Jerusalem Destroyed in 586 B.C.E.

  by Surreptitious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been doing some research and while everything i've read makes it clear that jerusalem was destroyed by nebuchadnezzar in 586, can anyone point me to where i might read how historians arrived at that date?.

  all the sources i've seen just say that it's so.

  as a matter of fact.

  howdy, i'm new here.

  21 years in & now about 1 year drifted away with no meetings for spiritual food other than the memorial.

  so, in my brother's view i am either spiritually dead or the next thing to it.

  i've been away from "the truth" for over two years now after being raised and spending most of my adult life in the org.

  it would be great to met some from my old circuit who left and now see the jw religion for what it is.

  if you were in a congregation east of rocky mount we might know each other.. bob

  1. jw
  2. friends

  first, get a wife and some kids ( hold your marriage together as best you can).

  then, impose rules that are practically impossible to follow .

  ( no masturbation, no unmonitored internet use, 5 meetings a week,.

  Are You Embarrassed To Admit You Were A Witness?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if the subject of religion or even jehovah's witnesses ringing your doorbell has come up, do you shy away from talking about ever being a witness?

  some have indicated that they felt stupid for ever believing in the watchtower.

  others have said they have a responsibility to help others not get involved in this "cult".

  JW Preaching Work Ends in 20th Century ?

  by Scorpion in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  page 12 of the january 1,1989 wt original magazine paragraph 8 ends with the statement that the apostle paul's missionary activity laid a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century.".

  (a subtle prophecy that 'the end' will come by the year 2000 a.d.).

  this sentence is changed in the bound volume reprint to read "a work that would be completed in our day.
