Please explain 537 in layman's terms...
by confuzcious inhey guys,.
i'm doing research on 607 and i understand how historical chronology differs and how the wt really missed it by 20 years.. but it seems the anchor year has something to do with 537 and 70 years of desolation.
counting back, 70 years would be 607.. so i've been told that that is how the "bible's chronology" verifies 607.. does anyone explain what this is all about?.

Money, Money
by drawcad_1 ini have noticed that in the last few months the issue of giving more donations, because the wachtower needs it has become more popular.
the convention that we went to this summer had three references to the poor lady who gave all that she had to give.
last night we had a very boring talk about how little we give as compared to how much we recieve from the tower.

i hope the trend continues..

Ransom
by drawcad_1 ini had read some time ago that the ransom that jesus paid with his life was for all of the people who died up to that point.
he did not die for our present sins and that we must live a pure life to be worthy of jehovahs salvation.
this is all purely jw speak, i was in an argument a while back with a jw and could not think of any of thier literature to reference this.

JWs- Evolutionary failures.
by refiners fire ini have the feeling this idea has been posted before by someone..however.... in evolutionary/ genetic terms the witnesses are a failing experiment.. they have discouraged large families, hence they are not winning in terms of numerological growth.. they have discouraged education.
so they are not winning in terms of societal prestige/ success.. they have failed abysmally!
!law of evolution says they must wither and become extinct.. the mormons are doing much better.. they breed like crazy.. education, im not too sure about...

Yearbook
by drawcad_1 init is time for the yearbook to come out with its growth rates and statistics.
i was wondering if anyone had any predictions for the year.
my crystal ball is a little rusty from the years of misuse and being hidden during my time in the borg, so these numbers might be a little off.

convention notes
by drawcad_1 ini didn't get to hear the talk about not listening to television articles (dateline)about the borg or reading internet articles that might undermine the good news.
but i did notice some other issues that seem to be highlighted.. contributions must be down.
there must have been three references to the widow woman who only gave 2 coins to the collection, but that was everything that she had.

New World Translation
by drawcad_1 ini saw a post some time ago on this board that had to do with jehovah's name being inserted in the wrong place in the new testament.
it dealt with a prophesy from the old testament concerning 'john the baptist' preparing the way for jesus.
could someone help me to find the ot and nt references.. thanks.
