Terry I respect your insight, as I have been stating all along. This website was placed in the most part by disgruntled ex-witness that fabricate, lie, to their readers in an effort to show new light by utter ignorance attack a group that has for decades moved on from the old light and yet still get scrutinized by it. If this is the case, then all religions are false including the people here that profess to show proof of new light with old light teachings and as you stated manipulate it to fit their agenda. The hypocrisy then would be wide.
Under Rutherford's direction, the International Bible Students Association introduced significant doctrinal changes. The group lost most of its original members between 1916 and 1928 but regrew rapidly from the mid-1930s [2] with the introduction of new preaching methods. [3] In 1931, the name Jehovah's witnesses was adopted, [4] further cutting ties with Russell's earlier followers. [5] Substantial organizational changes continued as congregations and teaching programs worldwide came under centralized control. Further refinements of its doctrines led to the prohibition of blood transfusions by members, abandonment of the cross in worship, rejection of Christmas and birthday celebrations and the view of the biblical Armageddon as a global war by God that will destroy the wicked and restore peace on earth. [6] In 1945 the Watch Tower Society, which Russell had founded as a publishing house, amended its charter to state that its purposes included preaching about God's Kingdom, acting as a servant and governing agency of Jehovah's Witnesses and sending out missionaries and teachers for the public worship of God and Jesus Christ.
EdenOne, Perhaps this will help you in your thrust for knowledge if you follow the Miller Movement rendition of 1914. The missing peace of the equations you rendered does not compensate for the Sabbath cycle Year or as we know it today leap year. *Quote: To comprehend the significance of the 70 years, we need to know what Sabbath cycle was being referenced in 2Ch 36:21 Unquote* If you are a mathematician as I’m not then you have no problem figuring out the references SCORE and JUBILEE, and then you can figure the missing 51 cycles or the 19 cycles by which dates you use that frankly gave me a headache when I finished viewing the whole sequence in that book.
Outlaw. I would be more than happy to take (accept) the medications as long as you go first.
