So Russell and Barbour were convinced that Jerusalem fell in 606BCE. They must have also felt that they had some kind of "Historical" evidence to support their belief?
Yet how is it that for convenience their supported year of 606BCE can be changed to 607BCE? Did someone then alter what happened in the time line? The 606 didnt fit so then simply change the year to 607, darn all the "historical evidence". Rechisel those stone plates and cuniform to say 607 instead of 606.....c'mon said Rutherford, no one will even notice......

607BCE or 587/586BCE explained
by truth about the last days inhello all to all my brothers of the faith.
i have some information in relation to the dates 607bce and 587/586bce, with the simple explanation of the 70years exile.
the wt still sticks with the 607bce due to the fact that the governing bodys explains that the jews returned back at about 537bce, assuming that they were finished with their bondage.

Go watch that new movie the 40 year old virgin and laugh at his predicament. You are not that old, when the time is right and your head is right it will happen. Chances are you turned down lots of opportunites for sex as a dub, so dont sweat it.

PMJ: Did the prophets of Jehovah ever get the message they received from Jehovah wrong? After prophesying on his behalf for him with the message they received from him, did they ever have to recant, back track or clarify it?
Did the prophecy from Jehovah fail to occur? -

Statement in a previous post
by geevee inhi all, sorry to distract you from the real stuff, but i have been trying all day to find a topic where someone posted a comment in relation to the surviving gb/f&ds members into paradise, that they will then get to rule the world...or words to that effect.
this was to my mind a classic comment, and i want to find it and keep it.
i have google searched the forum but no real result.

Just a point, we have noticed that when you are not sick and people ask about you and you say your are fine, they dont know how to answer that very well. They go through all the usual stuff, but if you aren't attending meetings, then you must be sick....that's the only possible excuse for not going isn't it??
One guy come up to us in the supermarket and wondered how we were going in the other congregation in our city. We said we dont go there, we dont go anywhere, he was dumbfounded, didn't know what to say! -

Then the arsnic fumes that come off that carpet and combine that with the acylic paint fumes! as well as the exhaust fumes from young brother speed demons car, he just cant start the thing and leave, no he has to warm it up for 10 minutes.........
This chemical syndrome is a beautiful thing. Oh and by the way, your deodorant is giving me a headache right now!!!! LOL -

My letter of annulment. LOL I am going to tell everyone it worked.
by jwfacts ini have posted below my letter of annulment for anyone that wants to use it.
they said that they would not honour it because i was baptised for too long and had entered pioneering and bethel.
however, i know of several people where annulment did work, but generally if they were baptised for only a couple of years and had not accepted 'privileges".

Role playing at it's very best jwfacts......... someone suggested that they could get another person to pretend to be "annointed", so why not have your baptism annulled? It would take a while for the elders there to have a special needs talk about this whole sticky mess......

Real Reason the Annointed Won't Die Off.

when the last of these approved spiritual israelites cease to be men because of earthly death and a resurrection to a share in the heavenly kingdom, then the mediatorship of jesus christ will cease also.

Dune, trouble is that they don't recall the older publications and WT/AWA articles like when you have a dud product. So unless you are really ontop of your game and mark these changes in all your books, you could end up reading and still believing the "old light".
Imagine the product recall..........would you get your money back? I'd have to go to the rubbish dump and try to find my defective old light....
