1380The Gentiles Times Reconsidered--Again but this Time By Using the Bible
by thirdwitness inthink about this: if seven times mean only 7 years then daniel could have simply said 7 years.
why does daniel specifically use the word 'times' rather than years?
as we have already shown daniel used the word for 7 times instead of 7 years.

Racism: Lyman Swingle Once Said to Me. . .
by Pioneer Spit...oh, i mean Spirit inyears ago, when i was 19 and shp (single hot pioneer), living at home of course, waitressing at denny's, just living la vida loca.
.. swingle stayed in our home for a district ass.
after the weekend and as he was saying his goodbyes, he grabbed my face and shook me back and forth and with a wide grin on his face said, "you need to come to bethel to meet some of our bethel boys, i'm tired of these colored girls coming to bethel and taking our boys home.

One day as I walked to work with Lyman toward the Society's factories, he didn't use the word "colored." He actually said "those niggers" when telling me about some of the publishers in his congregation that met at Factory #3. I believe that was before he got elevated to membership in the governing body. I was stunned by his remark, but I shrugged it off, knowing as I did that other Bethelites similarly had some growing up to do spiritually and morally. Additionally, I knew my place and that I would have been shot down if I dared to think it was my job to offer a word of correction. How I wish I wasn't so green behind the ears in those days and that I had realized that Christianity wasn't easy to find at world headquarters.

That doesn't mean we can't know when Jesus began to rule as the king of God's Kingdom.
When Jesus was asked by the apostles "“Lord, are you restoring the kingdom . . . at this time?,” this was his answer: "He said to them: 'It does not belong to YOU to get knowledge of the times or seasons which the Father has placed in his own jurisdiction." (Acts 1:6, 7, New World Translation)
If it didn't "belong" to the apostles 'to know when Jesus would begin to rule as king in God's Kingdom,' why does it "belong" to the Watchtower Society?
The apostles had the holy spirit, sufficient to record parts of the Bible, and they had the prophecies of Jeremiah, Daniel and others. Still, they couldn't figure out when the Kingdom would begin. How come JWs think they can see in those prophecies what even the apostles could not see?

I was told that Knorr described Jaracz as thinking too much of himself while he was a student at Gilead.
