Now thats funny shit!!
I think it may be Scholar in disguise!
amos 3:7 does say that the living god will make his impending judgement known to a select few so that they can in turn make a last appeal to those who are reasonable at heart.
daniel chapter 12.....1260+1290+1335= 3885 days/years.
you gotta know which it is, days/years in order to even begin making sense of it.

the watchtower and many others claim something happend in 607. this is based on the idea the bible is acurate.
the watchtower states in a few places 586 is the "real date" but they would make the bible wrong which is a no no.
i know they have a vested interest in 607. i can't figure out why is this such a controversy.
I agree! that was a great commentary Gary!

matter exists.. matter does not disappear from the universe; it transforms, at times, but in some form or other (energy) it continues to exist.. so what is "consciousness"?
it also exists (and we are individually proof of that fact).. can our personal "consciousness" cease to exist?
Alan, you are a nerd! I have to admit that what you said made sense except for your comments about the "charging of a capacitor through a resistor attached to an ideal voltage source." Thats where you lost me.

Interesting comparison Steve, but I thought you were still a christian, thereby believing in an afterlife? I have thoughts every stinking day wondering if "this life is all there is (tm)" but nobody on this earth knows for sure, or do they?
i don?t remember exactly where in jw-land i heard these experiences, but i believe they were passed around through word of mouth rather than through assemblies or publications.
urban legends?
you decide.. experience #1. faithful jw girl is dating a fellow who is studying (or was recently baptized) in order to win her love rather than because he believes jw doctrine.
I have heard of the #2 experience. Dont remember if it was supposed to be true or not.
you know how some of us guys have to put on a bit of an act sometimes, we have to set our faces into our coping scowl, but underneath, we're too well aware of just how soft we are?
well.. what music to the big guys here only, not you wimpy bunch, brings a tear to your eye or which films is it that you need to keep a box of tissues handy by you to wipe away the dampness in your eye?.
for celtic it's a track by dido - white flag and also black eyed peas - where is the love?
Yeah, Movies mostly, the last one was "Fifty first dates"

The precise details of the beginning of the 70 years are simply irrelevant to this.
Someone enlighten me, why are the 70 years so important to Scholar? Why do you feel that this changes the date for the fall of jerusalem?

according to the dubs, and other faiths, adam was created with no defects of any kind.
he was created with no sin.
then adam sinned.
I think this is an interesting thread. It is something I have wondered about as well. I think it would have been nice if there is a God that he would have told us whether the stories in the bible were allegorical or not.

When it all boils down to brass tax, why would we need to figure out bible phrophecy to pinpoint a date 1800/1900 years after the bible was written and have to use "secular" unearthed archaelogical findings to do it? Is it just me that thinks this is peculiar or do others feel the same way?

one afternoon a wealthy governing body member was riding in his limousine when he saw two men, on all fours alongside the road, eating grass.
disturbed at the site, the gb member ordered his driver to stop and then got out to investigate.
the gb member asked the first man "sir, why are you eating the grass.
Its actually so stupid its almost funny.
It did bring a grin to my face anyway.
