out now.. yes, yes, yessssss!
on p. 26-27 they talk about how the lunar positions on vat 4956 fit 588/7 bce!!!.
"clearly, much of the astronomical data in vat 4956 fits the year 588 b.c.e.
Here is a very strange paragraph, attempting to establish the year of VAT 4956 as 588 rather than 568. Can you spot the very WT-esque sleight of hand?
The tablet mentions a lunar eclipse that
was calculated as occurring on the 15th day
of the third Babylonian month, Simanu. It
is a fact that a lunar eclipse occurred on
July 4 (Julian calendar) of this month during
568 B.C.E. However, there was also an eclipse
20 years earlier, on July 15, 588 B.C.E.

Looks like I'll have to go through this and do some comparisons...
Basically, the argument goes, "There are some gaps in the record-keeping of the ancient Babylonians. Therefore there may have been other kings that we don't know about, and years would have to be added to the chronology." How this would add 20 years that nobody knows about, I'm not sure.
The second line of reasoning is, "VAT 4956 could also point to 588 as being Nebuchadnezzar's 37th year, making 607 the correct date."
I'm not sure how they would overcome all of the other evidence corroborating 568 as the 37th year. I guess that's why none of that is included.
it's been a while since i've posted on the forum but im needing to get how i'm feeling out of my head and out in the open.
i don't know what's going on with me but sometimes i feel overwhelmingly sad and my eyes well up like i'm going to start crying.
i'm not thinking about any one particular thing when this happens.
Mochamint22, your husband is an asshole and needs a good beatdown for treating you this way. Sorry for the language but this really gets me upset.
In the meantime, please contact a help line in your area, if possible. You are being abused and need someone to help you to sort through your options. You need to be prepared to leave as soon as possible.
I am sure that someone on this forum with more experience and qualifications will be able to give you better and more specific advice. Please know that what you are experiencing is not ok - there is no excuse for him to act this way towards you.
as a quick background, only my mother and my mil are jw's.
my wife and i are inactive, but not df'd or da'd.
my mil (who has been great to us and treats us normally) has recently told me that "jws don't shun".
Did your MIL witness this person shunning you? The overly self-righteous and uber-dubs are also the best at anti-witnessing, and they don't even know it.
this kills me.
i am going to see the big 4 (metallical, megadeth, slayer and anthrax) in concert in ny next month, i just found out dave mustain, the founding guitarist and only permanent member, the guy that was kicked out of metallica for partying too hard, was rasied a jw.. i am answering my own question.
party like a motherf*cker and try not to drink myself to death is what i should do.. i just thought it was hilarious.
A Big 4 concert...rock on, EP! \m/
My not-so-popular opinion: Rust in Peace > Everything by the other 3 bands, with the exception of Master of Puppets.
My very not-so-popular opinion: portions of Rust in Peace > Master of Puppets, but MoP is the more consistently great overall album.

when we moved up to pa back in late april the first thing i did when we got here was to grow a beard.
not a full face beard just around the mouth beard.
i love the look but my wife although she thinks i look good with it does make me look older because it is grey.
I didn't see things turning out this way.
