  It’s perfectly reasonable for them to use 586 BCE as the anchor date, because from their perspective it is a verifiable and reliable date to start from. I guess the destruction of a city is far easier to identify by archaeological means than the return of Jews a generation later.

  What you can’t do is use the 586 BCE date as the base date for the method and then turn around and say the 586 BCE is supported by the method, because that’s like trying to hold up the branch your sitting on. (If I’ve understood what the article says) I don’t think they are claiming the method does support 586 BCE, because that’s a peculiar JW interest anyway, they would have no interest in doing so.

  It seems that the study used 586 BCE for the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem as the base date to calibrate their method and measure other dates in relation to it. If so, this method is not used to determine the 586 BCE date, rather it assumes it.

  There were plenty of exJW channels, some of them now completely forgotten. Does anyone remember seattleniceguy? His videos were pretty good.

  And there are dozens and dozens of exJW books from well before “the reluctant apostate”.

  Some of them from posters on this site before LE even joined it.
  

  These are just a few of the books from onetime posters on this forum

  What decade or era in human history do you like the most or would have liked to live during?

  by Fisherman in

  in the us, the 60s and 70s was a great time to be alive except for getting drafted if you wanted to be that age.

  they were music years,  greatest movies, fun, simpler and enjoyable days—also except for the d&ugs.

  JWs have traditionally argued that the Old and New Testaments are equal worth for Christians - that’s the reason they rejected the names Old Testament and New Testament, because it was argued that the word “old” could be deprecatory.

  So it’s interesting to note that for their new Study Bible they decided to start at Matthew rather than Genesis, and it will probably take them years, if they ever do get round to cover the books in the Hebrew Bible.

  I’d forgotten all these old threads.

  Pompous comment from Cedars on page 11:

  
  Cedars. Have you read the NSPCC report?

  
  I can go one better than that. I've actually consulted with the NSPCC over JW policy, so you can drop the patronizing attitude.

  Which roughly translates as, 1) why are you questioning me, I’m more important than you, and 2) no I didn’t bother reading the report, because see 1)

  It's interesting how many posters on the old thread jumped to defend what was already, even back then, some pretty manipulative and weird behaviour. As someone else described it, his invocation of his mental health as a rhetorical weapon was “cartoonish”.
