I don't believe that the stories about Jesus are true, but there are enough details in the New Testament to be pretty specific with the Jewish calendar based on lunar cycles to pin down the date within the year that they say this stuff happened.
But otherwise, you are right. They could not pin down if this happened in 2 BCE or 4 AD or whatever. Too many variables to argue over. But also, because it's a myth.

You have all you need from us.
Jehovah's Witnesses are a dangerous mind control cult. You do not want to be one. Things will only work out to a relationship and marriage if you become one of Jehovah's Witnesses if he is so dead set on becoming one.
Regardless of him being baptized or not, he must deal with having had premarital sex before he can proceed with being a JW.
Good luck to you, feel free to keep asking questions. But you have all the advice on this subject that you need. -

What does shunning acomplish?
by poopie inwell in order to shun someone you must dehumanize them much like what occurred in slavery.
dehumanizing someone now allows you treat them worst then an animal.
and now you can justify ignoring them there not human anymore.

Shunning is very effective for them.
It causes many to keep their mouth shut when they don't agree about something.
It causes many to kiss the elders' asses to keep from being DF'ed or to get back in because they want to have communication with their family.
It silences the ones who are willing to speak up- others won't listen to them. -

"...and if you wanna sit on your buddy's lap and fondle his ball sack, as long as he's into it, it's all good."
I busted out laughing at the commentator on the JW video at the end.
But he's right. Don't let these people screw you AND tell you not to enjoy yourself. -

by joe134cd ini had an ultra orthodox jw relative ask me to fill out his census form on the computer.
while i was filling it out i thought %u#k you wt i'm not going to let you have the satisfavtion of making claim to a member in this country.

Hey, good for you. However, it's probably only good FOR YOU.
Watchtower doesn't count its members from some government survey.
Still, good for you.
