"End of the Gentile Times" Meaning Was Changed...
by deaconbluez ina good point that captives of a concept by don cameron makes is that during russell's time, the "end of the gentile times" which would take place in 1914 was to signify the complete end of world government's rule.
after that came and went, in order to not have to admit that they were falsely prophecying, they changed the teaching to mean that it was the end of their "uninterrupted rule".
therefore, they had to conclude that in 1914 an invisible jesus christ who was invisibly present as he was being invisibly enthroned to begin his invisible rule rom the invisible heavens.. .

Most Witnesses Don't Know the "Current Truth" on Matthew 5:5!
by deaconbluez inmatthew 5:5: "happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth.".
if you ask most witnesses what this verse means, they will say that it means those who are meek/mild/humble will be given the earth as a reward to live forever on.
i was surprised to find out that this is not the official watchtower teaching of that verse.

Reasoning Point When Dealing With Witness Relatives...
by deaconbluez inone of the common copouts used by witnesses when they are confronted with the real truth about the watchtower is this:.
"oh you've just been talking to apostates and disfellowshipped ones, or you've been reading their literature.
they can't be trusted.".

587/607 Question...
by deaconbluez inif the exile wasn't to be 70 years, how is jeremiah 29:10 explained by pro-587 folks?.
10 "for this is what jehovah has said, in accord with the fulfilling of seventy years at babylon i shall turn my attention to you people, and i will establish toward you my good word in bringing you back to this place.. .
also, if it truly was a 70-year period of servitude, and not exile, when was this 70 years served by other nations?.

ATTENTION: 587/607 Buffs..
by deaconbluez inhow would you answer this:.
"it's simple: we know there was a 70-year exile, and that that the jews returned in 537bce.
so 537bce minus 70 years equals 607bce!
