Desolation of Jerusalem

by Alwayshere in

using the wts's dates in the january 1.1965 page 29 : nabonidus= 17 years.

add 17 to 539=556, neriglissar==4 years, add 4 to 556=560, evil-marduk=2 years, add 2 to560=562, nebuchadnezzar=43 years, add 43 to 562 =605.

the bible at 2 kings 25: 8 and 9 says "in the 19th year of king nebuchadnezzar the servant of the king came to jerusallem and burned the house of jehovah.

How can WT scholars be celebrated if these so-called scholars are anynomous and claim that WT publications are directed and edited by Jehovah?&

Excellent point Undercover! Its kind of hard to celebrate something that does not exist.

I had thought they changed the name of that book to save face or was it the name of a talk that was something like Millions now living MAY never die?

Any constructed chronology for the Neo-Babylonian period is fraught with problems because of numerous gaps and conflicting data when one compares it to carefully crafted biblical chronology by celebrated WT scholars.

Scholar, are you admitting that the WT scholars are crafty buggers?

REVIEW OF JCS "BIG NEWS" ARTICLE

by Oroborus21 in

note: the catholic molestation cases have mostly been evaluated under employment law theories not the tort of misrepresentation or under non-fraud related tort claims]; fails to address important legal considerations such as standing and statute of limitations; and finally and most importantly, the essay fails to address in any meaningful way the inevitable constitutional arguments that would be raised by opposing (watchtower) counsel.

supreme court justices do not have the time to browse through law journals and the implication that they would be interested in an essay is even more deceptive.

the society does not cite a 1960 study as evidence that blood transfusions are hazardous.. here is the actual quotation in context:.

Eduardo, do you believe the WTS is immune from legal culpability were it to misrepresent an author? Or, do you believe that author has cause of action based on misrepresentation? Do you believe freedom of religion is a license to misrepresent the work of other individuals or organizations?

I believe one would have to show intentional misrepresentation to be held liable. The fact that they have cost human lives "should" make them culpable but I am no lawyer.

Someone who is a lawyer should chime in here.

Blood and The WTS Blunder Machine

by Marvin Shilmer in

blood and the wts blunder machine.

since the inception of its infamous blood doctrine prohibiting jehovahs witnesses from accept blood products under pain of punitive congregational repercussion the wts has meticulously avoided use of the term transfusion in relation to any blood-based therapy permitted to jehovahs witnesses under its doctrine.

as the wts current blood doctrine has developed through the decades it has had to take ever increasing pains to avoid using the term transfusion in relation to blood and blood-based therapies jehovahs witnesses can accept because the wts has over the same period allowed more and more in the way of use of blood under its infamous doctrine.

Thanks for your work Marvin!

If the WTS continues to keep shooting themselves in foot they will soon find themselves without a leg to stand on! Simply amazing, it is like a poorly written story by a very inept writer. Its really too bad its NOT a piece of fiction, instead its actually hurting so many people. I think the ones at the top of the WTS ladder actually do know they are wrong with this doctrine but find themselves between a rock and a hard place in trying to change it.
