for anyone who's interested, i just wanted to post a link to a great chronology website i've found.
you can find it at: http://www.caeno.org/.
basically it deals with babylonian astronomy, king lists, chronicles, synchronisms etc.
CityFan.....nice link, some great stuff to be found there

its seems to me over the years as a dub i have met some very creative (albeit eccentric) folks in the org.
whats your thoughts on this?
do you think that the structure of the jws makes people more creative?
Welcome to the board boy@crossroads..... it's been a few years since I was in the org, so things might of changed, but looking back, I found that the JW's were the most uncreative people I'd ever been around, due to the continued reliance on the Org as an aurthority, for an example in the area of employment, reaching out to excel wasn't the going rate back then......
Welcome again

whether you have been disfellowshipped, or disasociated yourself or just slowly are fading or inactive... .
or even are still there at the hall attending due to family.. .
do you think that when you were at your 'strongest as a believer' that anyone would have guessed how you feel about the wts now?.
Good question.........when I left, and made it clear I wouldn't be coming back, my whole jw family said that " I didnt leave, Jehoooovah removed from the cong" hehehe dont you just love that WT mentality, hehehe

recently the local congregation had the visit of the c.o.
the local needs talk he usually gives was replaced by a talk he said will be given to many congregations around the world.. this talk is targeting th very young.
kids are being strongly encouraged not to put off baptism and that children as young as 10 can make an informed decision to get baptized.
Hi Reason....
From your comments regarding world events and "the end" being near, why don´t you open another thread with regards to this and lets, as per your name suggests, reason upon the matter?. Looking forward to it
regards
