Even though the 1914 date is pure bovine crap, very nice analysis nevertheless!

1914, leap years, and sticky math situation
by A.proclaimer in360 days x 2520 years = 907,200 days.
365.25 days x 2520 years = 920,430 days.
920,430 days - 907,200 days = 13,230 days in difference .

Heb. 11:1-Faith
by HowTheBibleWasCreated inwhen i sti'' believed this verse was alwas in my mind: faithis the assured ecpectation of things hoped for... the ebident demonstration of realities not be held.... .
yes it seemed to preach the scientic method..so ai thought.
the point is my faith was never based on 'i belive.....' i thought based on the bluecreation book we had the truth.. latley a witness sakid herewes 11:1 meant that faith is the evidence.... well f***his idea.. if jws start belebong ths nonesese they will never escape.

If a year is really 365 1/4 days why 360 days to calculate 1914
by blondie indoesn't that throw off the date?.
*** w51 6/15 p. 383 questions from readers ***.
in establishing the length of the seven times of the gentiles, a time or year of 360 days is used, to give 2,520 days, which become 2,520 years when ezekiel 4:6 is applied.

Little "oops" in today's WT Study article.
by stillin inparagraph 12 recommends that we meditate on the weekly reading for the theocratic ministry school.
ok, i'm splitting hairs here.
but there will be no more tms in a week.. somebody isn't keeping up with jehovah's celestial chariot..

Another freakin example of the way the borg arbitrarily cherry picks the scriptures and misapplies them. The bible in both 1 and 2 Corinthians provides pretty specific instructions about “marry only in the lord” and “do not become unevenly yoked”. Yet one is seldom if ever df’ed for marrying an unbeliever. Smoke an occasional Cuban, (about which the bible says absolutely nothing) and you’ll be df’ed.

Neutral eh? When selling up in Brooklyn was anywhere else in the world considered for the new HQ other than America?
You're right! JW's is an American religion, born and raised. Recently, in order to be "politically" correct, the borg has brought in or 'promoted' some upper level personnel from other countries. But for the most part, the borg is historically white, american, balding old men.

Gotta love those long legs. Personally, I'm a big fan of the Williams sisters knowing where they came from and where they are today. Hooray for women.

CoBE Joins those Elders Deserting the Sinking Ship
by The Searcher infrom a reliable source:.
a young cobe - late thirties, maybe forty - has resigned in december 2015, both as the cobe and as an elder.
word is that he is a man with a young family who is stressed out and has had enough.

That's the route I took. "Stepped down" as an elder (which was, by the way, a huge "step up" in life) and 6 months later pretty much quit the borg altogether.
It's a trend that should start gaining some traction as the 'sheeple' start seeing and feeling the real direction of the borg.

When did district conventions become regional conventions and why?
by slimboyfat ini think it was gary and heather bottings' book the orwellian world of jehovah's wifnesses that noted the function of the habit of the watchtower organisation of changing organisational terminology periodically.
congregations became companies and then back to congregations again.
circuit overseers became circuit servants and then back again.

It's change for the sake of change IMHO. It's a way of trying to make an archaic religion look like it's doing something, moving forward. It's "New light" from jehober just like j f rutherford received when he changed the name to 'jehober witless'.

A question I asked of the whole Body of Elders in my congregation some time in the '80's was :
"Why, if a "Prophetic Year" was 360 days long, were the years fulfilling the prophecy not, likewise, 360 days long ?" (In slightly different words, but essentially your Thread title question)
Hey Phizzy,
I had exactly the same question back in the late 60's. I got the same bluster from a brother that I asked.Trying to explain this non-sense to any thinking person is absolutely impossible. I've dubbed it "math-magic" and I now also wonder how I swallowed their bs for so many years.
